comments and ratings are welcome! thank you :)

On my monitor it seems a little underexposed

Thank you Dario! it is!

May I suggest removing the somewhat bluish color cast ? I also agree with the earlier comment abt the under-exposure. The composition is very nice otherwise !

Very good shot and point of view!!!!

Thank you Anirvan and Francesco!

 

To Anirvan the bluish color cast is because I tuned the camera to fluorescent white balance mode. It is like shooting with a blue filter.

I like the sky exposed the way it is but would like to see the ground better. How about using a circ polarizer and a graduated ND filter instead of CP/UV?

Hi Erik, thank's for your suggestion, I guess that using ND filter can work in this case.

 

Also, I tried to improve the ground details by using PS - contrast and brightness. I hope that now it's a little better.

 

 

Rgds, allon.

 

I think that this picture is perfect like it is. The colors make evident the beautifull contrast and the lovely composition.

Hi Maria, thank you for your nice comment and rating!

 

The image you see is after the adjustments. Here is the originl:

This works better than the original. Nice image!

Just beautifull

Thank you, Roberto and Else! I'm glad to know you like it:)

 

Rgds, allon.

Beautiful perspective...nicely composed.

Allon, it looks very much alive in my monitor, what is distructing is the sky on the left hand side. What do you say about croping the sky a little above the tree and give it a "panoramic" look? Pnina

I totally agree with the use of graduated ND for this shot. However, one may not have it at that instance unfortunately. May i suggest substituting with Photoshop CS shadow/highlight adjustment to bring back some more details in the sky and bring up the shadow area. Otherwise, a nice shot without the bluish cast.

Sorry but the sky looks terribly blown out in the top left. I agree with the ND suggestions. Perhaps a longer lens would be good too, for zooming in. I feel there is just too much in the picture.

Great composition! I really like sunflowers... hope to shot them as well soon!

very good work Alon...regards ..Or... nice framing

Beautiful shot, I love sunflowers.
