66 May 17 Comment I like this VERY MUCH Palli, and the richness of the blacks and whites is not lost on me. What I think you may want to consider is straightening the image...it appears to my eye to be tilted downward right. I used the ruler tool and Rotate Canvas to make the attached version, and to my eye it appears more true. You may need to add canvas as a result of the need to crop the whole image after straightening, especially to give the tree more 'base'. Another potential tile using alliteration...Troubled Tree.

66 May 17 Comment Oh, and by the way, I used Nik Color Efex Pro and applied the Darken/Lighten Center present to do a 'corners burn' and place emphasis on the animals. May 17th
66 May 17 Comment Melanie,

Well seen! Also nice to see an IR from Africa...and am guessing it is rarely done. Glad you worked the scenes with both color and IR. I played with this quite a bit, trying to reduce the 'crunchiness' of the noise patterns, get the animals out of dead center, and boost the contrast on the whole scene. I also did a mask to allow me to set a white point in Levels in the clouds. For what it's worth, here's the adjusted version I made. See what you think.		 May 17th
66 May 17 Comment Hi Nathan,

I like it! It's surreal. The color IR palette works well in this scene in my view.		 May 17th
66 May 17 Comment Hi Craig,

Honestly, I hadn't been bothered by the large tree until I removed it in the adjusted image attached. What was personally troubling me more was a need for contrast and a white point in this image. Both of those things were incorporated into this version, along with a quick and dirty cloning to reduce the impact of the tall tree. What do you think?		 May 17th
66 May 17 Reply Thanks very much, Palli. May 17th
66 May 17 Reply Hi Nathan, and thanks for the feedback. If you put your finger on it as to why you are bothered by the horse/barn composition, let me know. Great to have other eyes see your work! May 17th
