2 Mar 24 Reply I have a 100mm macro but can't quite conceptualize your concept. Macro would capture a small part of a palm leaf and could be interesting, but going close with a wide angle might work for a partial image of the palm leaf showing more lines? Mar 24th
2 Mar 24 Comment Before I read your account I thought it was a top-notch image but it did cross my mind that the face appeared doll-like with exceptional detail. The dreamy expression goes beyond the "doll-like" appearance and I expect you captured some other expressions in the shoot that would bring out her character. Mar 6th
2 Mar 24 Comment Exceptional capture!! It should score and compete very well since it has story and faultless technique. Some judges say it's all about the eye. I agree somewhat and suggest consider brushing in some (very little) exposure and clarity on the eyes and necks. Mar 6th
2 Mar 24 Comment You have captured the moment up close. I can count 5 sticks in parallel and one at right angles to the rest making it very effective and strengthened by the "wide angle" focal length creating dramatic foreground, midground and back ground. I don't see a way to improve the image for higher placing. Perhaps some may not like the crop too close to the elbow, and quite excessive wide-angle distortion might not be pleasing to some for human subjects. Mar 6th
2 Mar 24 Comment Nice result. Difficult to find fault. The stem of the leaf casts a shadow, but I think it could be left unseen as in the original. I think the gloss on the leaf is slightly overdone and prefer the brown tones to off-yellow - handling yellows is a known problem with artists. Mar 6th
2 Mar 24 Comment You have captured the essence of the sport and the horses do appear to be participating. The two outside horses balance the photo with their separation from the pack, so I would leave them. The partial blurring of the central background is a distraction so I would darken to match the green trees in luminance. Mar 6th
2 Mar 24 Comment Very interesting story!! I agree with Karen's comments and was also led to the top right hand corner. Perhaps it's the sort of image that would have done well with a stitched panorama. Mar 6th
2 Mar 24 Comment Thanks for your challenging comment. It is a different concept and involves changing the reality more than usual (attached) I think? Mar 6th
