Fiery Gaud-y Kiss

EXCELLENT!

Very good but definitely could be better with some space. A lenticular cloud this brilliant deserves a number of shots and angles.

As some other souls mentioned above, I think one could have done more justice to that impressive cloud and odd-shaped tree by laying on the ground and using the tree to frame the cloud.

 

I understand the "kiss" you tried to achieve, but I fear it does not work so terribly well, and the lower right branch is too bright and unfortunatly distracting.

very nice... cong.

Normally one would want to separate the two subjects here. But I like the way that they contact. It suggess some kind of contest or tug of war.

Well I don't understand people who say this shot is NOT outstanding.

 

Everyone has his own opinion ok. For me it is a very nice and unique photo.

 

Excellent work !

 

Best regards,

Hate to be the poop on the platter, but I find it unappealing. Too much post processing artifacts around the tree and clouds, unless that's just computer noise I'm seeing. Light in the foreground with a completely black tree and hill behind it doesn't make sense, seems impossible and too contrived. Composition doesn't work very well, too cliche. Sorry.

Devendra, I think it is a fantastic image. The lighting is great and it?s unique. Top work Congratulations! 7/7 from me.

just nature... I have no more words. GREAT shot!

Next time if this was with a digital camera I would take dozens of shots of this. The idea is there and yes it is very striking, but if you were able I would (well I wouldn't - I would have probably have been pleased with the shot but we are talking from benefit of hindsight) have walked around the tree to adjust the angle and the cross over with the cloud. Possibly the adrenalin of the shot and lack of time made you forget to concentrate on the composition

 

I'll give you 7 for originality as I doubt there are any similar photos around and 5 for aesthetics which may be a little harsh.

One of those rare moments that I'm glad we can use photography to share amongst a large group of people. Fantastic work.

Wow. It seems like a comet coming on earth. Impressive. Congratulations. Mado
