At first I was not sure of what I thought about the image. However, the more I studied it the more I liked it. To me it tells a story of protection and repose. To my mind the sky actually adds to the story line - the concept of shelter and rest from bad weather. Cropping out the sky would change the picture, but I really like it as it is.
I really have no constructive comments to add, though I do wonder about the story line if the misty drizzle/rain were more present. It is very nicely done to my way of viewing it.

Hi Albert,
I liked this image from the start. When I read the comments about cropping the image I was torn because I liked the original. However I copied the image into PSCC and cropped it as had been suggested. The original, though good seemed a touch flat to me so played with the curves a bit to give it a little more punch.
The original gives me a misty sense of distance and the river leads my eyes to the mountains. My version lacks the sense of 'misty distance' but feels more dynamic and the cropped river sort of underlines the mountains in stead of leading me into them, however the mountains and sky are the picture in the crop and it works for me.
Having said all of that - I am still torn between the two. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I attached the image with my changes - see what you think |

I love this shot. I have to admit up front that I cannot agree about the sharpness, at least not to my eyes. I love the texture and fear that trying to up the sharpness would lead to over sharpening. Were that to happen it would, as I look at it, really degrade the impression. In my experience most leaves are not sharp at all, except for the edges, and I think that this preserves that image, the textured softness of leaves as we see them in nature.
To me this is a wonderful example of macro photography. Thank you for sharing it with is. |

I cannot add to what has been said. In my opinion a wonderful shot, well framed. It gives me the feeling of Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Eastern State is in somewhat more disrepair with the peeling paint and all.

There is not much I can add to what has already been said. The man's head at the bottom left, and the fact that all of the action is on the left side with little or nothing but the wave on the right side leaves me with an unbalanced feeling in the shot. I think the technical aspect - focus, tonality, contrast, etc are good for this scene.
I also like the PJ nature of the shot along with the captured moment in time aspect. The standing man appears to be lost in thought about something or perhaps his attention has been captured by something in the distance - a good story telling photo.
Thank you for sharing it with us. |

Generally I like this shot. I did not find the tree distracting so I am ambivalent as to leaving it or cropping out. My issue is the wall of the canyon below the horizon. While I am sure that the variations in toning are due to the stratified nature of the rock it actually appears to me to be an over exposed band running from side to side.
I do like the composition, and the technical aspects are, to my eye, very good. It is just that horizontal light band through the canyon wall that is my issue - perhaps darkening it a bit and adding more contrast in that area?
Thank you for sharing it with us. |
