dionys mosers' desert-photos Great Sandsee

Any critiques welcomed!

Beautiful light. I think the photo's impact would be greater, though, if it concentrated on just one curving sand-ridge, and didn't divide the viewer's attention between two. But my main reservation is a 'painted look' about it. Not sure I like it.

Bellisima imagen,,, luz,, encuadre y un bello color,,,, un cordial saludo.

Interesting color tones, great composition.

Beautiful scene, well captured, Dionys. I agree with John Milkbank about the painted look, though. By chance, did you use Neat Image or a similar noise reduction software ? Best wishes, Peter

hi

I didn' use any noise reduction or Neat Image!

perhaps I should buy it?

I do not think you should, not at all. I asked about Neat Image because I had the experience that on some images it creates a painted look as noted above. This happens especially if the noise pattern is similar e.g. to some finely structured areas, like sand, dust, stone wall etc. Then, during noise reduction they get an artificial look. On a second though, here, the special look could be due to the fact that the sand has been shot from quite a large distance, as well as due to JPEG conversion process. Regards, Peter

Beautiful light and shadows. Cheers, Sondra
