dariusz calkowski 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Nice not overloaded photo. I like simplicity. IMO little too much of green at the bottom. 3 equal parts of blue orange and green could improove composition. Link to comment
manuelbayo1 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Original, nice. It's a petty the cactus are in shadows. Link to comment
baerbel 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Very creative and interesting composition. I like it! Link to comment
arthurs 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Clear cactussing, the mountain adds it, simple but strong. Very nice. Link to comment
markboyer 0 Posted November 19, 2005 Pretty unusual and stunning perpective on this. Wow. Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted November 19, 2005 A real eye-catcher! I don't know why but I find this makes me smile. It seems a playful image somehow - hope it was not meant to be serious! I like how you have lined up the top of the cacti with the slope of the mountain behind. And the mountain is in sunshine while the cacti are in shadow. Living/not living. Different but connected?

madhav 0 Posted November 20, 2005 something new in your composition style, Jana ? excellent. Link to comment
jana 1 Posted November 20, 2005 Kalaga, I guess I am crazy about my new wide angle lens. Thank you everybody for your comments. jana Link to comment
contessa 0 Posted November 20, 2005 Sorry, but the butte appears to be growing from the top of the cactus, a big misplacement of subject. If you used a wide angle lens, I'm supposing this was a matter of cropping too much off the photo. It also seems the butte is out of focus, appears flat against the cactus. I know you'll love your new lens when you get used to the differences it causes when used. Have fun, look for more photo from you :) Link to comment
davidroossien 0 Posted November 21, 2005 Love the photo. Here's a version with a brighter foreground and a warmer look. I like the foreground blues, but it's fun to consider options. Now the greens stand out more against the blue sky. Link to comment
jana 1 Posted November 22, 2005 Thanks for your comments. Charly, I didnot crop at all, my wide angle was just in the cactus. I wanted the butte to grow out of the cactus. I am glad the idea came over. cheers jana Link to comment
lgreene 0 Posted November 22, 2005 I like it! David's version looks cool too. It looks like the cacti are worshiping the rock formation... All hail the mighty orange rock.. Link to comment
contessa 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Thanks for taking a negative crit so well - some people would not have been as gracious. Have a wonderful day :) Link to comment
vatovec 0 Posted November 26, 2005 The composition and lighting are monumentally subtle! I"m not sure what happened to the sky color!? Link to comment
guzin 0 Posted November 30, 2005 Very nice colours and shut Jana.Good looking.Lovely.:) Link to comment
renate_hanachi 0 Posted December 2, 2005 I like the dominating cactus in the foreground. Maybe the only vegetation in this aerea: That deserves being the main subject. Nice shot. Regards Renate Link to comment
ivan colman 0 Posted December 11, 2005 Great photo, I like the zones of different colors Link to comment
warren williams 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Jana, your talent astounds me. I'm actually not sure where to even start in your portfolio! Everything appeals to me - all of your work! This photograph is also just amazing - stuning on the eye. I've left a comment for you on my Surreal Pub photo - please take a moment to read it, nice story. Warm regards. Warren Link to comment
aeaster 0 Posted January 13, 2007 A beautiful way to make a portrait of the optunia in the foreground. I admire your use of glowing evening color, something that I myself cannot do very well. Link to comment
