70 Nov 21 Reply Thanks, Kathryn. See my comment to Frans. Nov 28th
70 Nov 21 Reply Thank you, Frans and Kathryn for your comments. I agree with Frans' adjustment of the hiker's location. The reason that I did not move the hiker into the light is that I am not very good at creating a believable shadow of the hiker. I made the shadow when the hiker is in the shade, and his shadow is much easier to create. Nov 28th
70 Nov 21 Comment I would agree with Pierre's comment re. need more room for the sky. It would work well as a pano. I would have cropped the bottom 1/4 of the badlands and darken it. The tool shadow/highlight in PS or LR has opened too much of the shadow and reduced the contrast. It is always nice to include more sky even if the sky were bald. You can add interesting sky there later if the foreground subject is strong enough to warrant it. Nov 17th
70 Nov 21 Comment A classic shot of the Antelope Canyon. You have managed the exposure well by expose for the highlights. I really like the little 'sand fall' at the bottom of the image. I remember the last time when I was there more than 10 years ago, there was a wind storm whipping up the sand and created multiple sand falls cascading down the rocks. While shooting with my digital SLR, standing next to me was a photographer who was changing lens on a Hasselblat with an expensive digital back. That would have been a very costly repair to get all the sand out of his camera. Glad that you enjoyed your photo experience there. And thanks for sharing. Nov 4th
70 Nov 21 Comment Beautifully captured, Pierre. The dark clouds help my eye focused on the morning light and the silhouette of the trees. I noted that you took care of avoiding merging of the two trees with your camera angle. The only suggestion that I can come up with in this otherwise perfect rendition of the morning would be to open the shadow areas in the foreground just a little bit. Nov 4th
