I'm not surprised you enjoyed it. So many opportunities with one tree. Very hard to pick a favourite at this end. Well done. |

I think the artefacts (bokeh?) look really good when are inducted deliberately as in your first image but they can be a nuisance otherwise and sometimes hard to remove. To my mind they they can look especially nice in colour images depending on what you're trying to achieve. Both of your other images are very good in my opinion Lance. It's a great composition in the first instance because the tree is such and interesting shape and as I said previously, it seems to reach out to you. The original image is more about the strong sun and its effect on the scene. The second is similar but to a lesser degree. The third is more balanced in terms of light and shade. Interesting exercise. |

Hi Adi - an interesting photo and discussion. I love the long exposure effect in the sky - contrasts nicely with the static buildings. But I too, can see those odd bits around the house and lighthouse. To me, it looks a bit like over sharpening. But notwithstanding the technicalities it's still a very pleasing image. |

Beautiful image Lance. There is almost a 3D effect with the branches reaching forward. I really like the strength of the light rays and the bokeh. When you say "bracketing", I presume in this instance you took a number of single shot images over a 10 minute period? It will be interesting to see the change in the light source in another one of the images. Afternoon light can change pretty fast. |

I love this Mark. The panoramic view combined with a great depth of field makes the image seem alive. It's one of those images that I want to keep looking at. |

Thanks Adi. I like your interpretation of "thought coming to life". Jackie is a quiet sort of young woman - nothing like a charging elephant. Maybe that quiet smile hides a more adventurous person than we think. By the way, Jackie doesn't like the photo at all! |

Hi Debasish. When I first saw this image, before reading your comment, I thought I was looking at a beach bathed in moonlight. Regardless, I love the mood created by the fog. And I can stop worrying about the person who left the footprints behind. |

Hi Mark - see my response to Lance. In this process the camera is taking the second photo over the first one and you end up with one image. I wish I had taken separate photos and merged later. I may have ended up with a cleaner image. Interesting though. I've enjoyed playing around with the process. |

I like to think it's creative but it's just an in-camera double exposure. In my Olympus camera I chose the multiple exposure option in the menu, set at 2 frames, turned on auto gain to boost the light and turned on overlay. I took the photo of the elephant and a link showed on the live view. Shifted the focus to Jackie so the elephant was over her face and took the second photo. I edited the resulting photo in On1 Raw to convert to B&W and adjusted tones etc. My honest opinion of this photo is that it is too complicated. It wasn't planned. It was one of those things where the light was falling nicely on Jackie's face and there was an elephant wall hanging. I just thought why not? The wall hanging included some floral pattern along with the elephant and that's what has created the "busyness".
