Hi David, nice work. I like the way the polariser has given some crispness in the tonal range and there's an overall sharpness I suspect in the neg that can't quite come through here - but I don't doubt the original's great. Purely as a matter of taste I'd prefer to separate more clearly the model from the shadows of the fir branches and rocks; I'm left with a sense that this is very 'busy' and if it were my shot would have given the model more prominence. Them's my thoughts. Regards, Clive

Clive,

 

Thank you for your time and comments. I do appreciate them.

 

It was my intention to leave the model "mixed" with the landscape. Rather than making the model the sole subject with the landscape being a setting, I wanted to combine both - making them equally the subject thus letting the viewer "see" the entire scene rather than be drawn to a single point of reference.

 

Having said that - did I accomplish my goal?

 

Thank you again for your critique.
