...Comments?...

i didnt mind your comment, jim, but as far as i could tell, you visited my page, so you shouldve seen the portfolio's title which is SEE PRESENTATION - these dont work alon. so now i suggest you go see the presentation and put the photo into context. the critique forum was only a way to call people's attention to the portfolio, not the photo itself. it didnt work.

Hi Agnes, I have looked over what you suggested, You're right I should not have taken that one shot as standing alone. I must admit I'm not the greatest person to catch on to someone else's photo interpretation right away. After all if your photos are saying what you want, then they are successful. One other thought, I don't get Picasso or any of that genre, so I guess you are in good company....All the best....Jim

well, bad for you, really

Jim, I like the idea of that image having like 3 parts,my nit is that the middle part is very bright and is a very stromg competition to the other two, I think that for more unity it has to be closer to the other parts with keeping it as brighter, but not that much. or at least some ellements with a darker hue will unify the nice otherwise composition, Pnina

Hi Pnina, Without a doubt, you know exactly what you are talking about. I did bump up some areas of the clouds, as well as darkened some of the sunlite grass in the middle. Also brightened some grasses of the foreground, so maybe lighten the shadows some in the foreground and bump down some brightness in the trees may help.... I would do it on this page, but I don't know to re-edit like some do on here without just reposting the shot....Thanks once again.....Hanneke sent me an email a few days ago, said Tony is still getting better.....Jim

Jim, I will write an email tommorrow, and tell you how to upload a corrected version, if I understood what is the problem.

Pnina, you are most kind, but I hate to put you to that trouble.....Jim

Jim, as I like that one, I worked a little on it. Let me know what you think, Pnina

Hey Pnina, That is an improvement. It also has the appearance that maybe there is a mountain range in the distance....Never let it be said that my pictures can't be improved upon....Thank you....Jim

Generally think this shot is sublime fantasia, looking like winter snow, whether is was or not. Do have one question: I see yellowish spots on my screen on the middle ground and the larger tree toward the left. Did you alter these areas or fix these areas in post processing?

D.L., Actually on my screen I see no yellow, that must be just a difference between screens. But yes I have made some areas lighter as well as some darker. Also, played around with the color temparture and tint, also in case you didn't notice it was shot in infra red..... Thank you for your interest....Jim

Thanks for replying. Have since discovered that my monitor is not holding calibration, so it's probably my screen acting up.
