mikemorrell Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I like this photo a lot! It's a great location with the diverging, meandering, pathway through the woods. Good contrast too between the pathway and the darker vegetation/trees. The result is a n interesting 'strong line' that draws me i9nto the photo and gives it a sense of depth. I also like the 'judicious' and creative use of a fisheye lens in this location and from this viewpoint. The curved trees left and right provide a nice frame. I liked the photo before even noticing that it was taken with a fish-eye.:). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochetrider Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 This is lovely! I agree the fisheye effect, something I'm not a huge fan of, works very well here. Love it in monochrome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Michael Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Didn't read the comments above (always try very hard never to do that) - my first impression on looking at this Photograph was, "Wow - Fish-eye lenses are so difficult to use well: this one nailed it." Bravo/ Brava WW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inoneeye Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I have taken many similar photos (w/o a fisheye) but you made it yours :) well done. 1 i n o n e e y e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
httpwww.photo.netbarry Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I agree with the above. The fisheye can be so overused, but here its like the rug in the Big Lebowski, it pulls the photo together and adds interest to the organic feel of the trees and the pathways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Tilt it a little to the left and add contrast to make the walkway "pop". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemorrell Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 :D It almost reminds me of the time I popped out of my mother’s womb. May I suggest moving the Clarity slider to the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
