julio_segura_carmona1 4 Posted April 23, 2006 Excelente luz, perfecto color y composion, con un bello encuadre, un cordial saludo Eric. Link to comment
alexguerra 0 Posted April 23, 2006 This blurred background looks way too unnatural, becoming itself the main distraction. Try to blur it gradually instead in order to give a sense of distance. The colours are very eye-catching though. Cheers, Alex Link to comment
eric_alper 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Thank you all for your comments. I understand that the blur doesn't work for everyone. It was necessary to salvage this picture from what was a very uninteresting background scene, posted with my original posting of this shot at http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3896866 I appreciate your interest and reactions.

Guest Guest Posted April 24, 2006 The blur looks completely out of place considering the DOF of the foreground. Link to comment
spiritwarrior 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Magnifcent colors. I love the leaves caught as they head for the ground. A truly great shot. Nice job. Link to comment
cherlyn 1 Posted April 25, 2006 its the colours & light that captures. The blur might look a somewhat unnatural but it also give a soft feeling to balance the strong 'red' of the tree & ground. Nice picture overall. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted April 25, 2006 I like the composition and colors of the tree. But because of the sudden change from sharp to blur the image doesn't appear to be real. I first thought that it was a miniature. Link to comment
mario_grgic 0 Posted April 25, 2006 to achieve more realistic look. As it is, it's too un-natural. Having the bottom portion looking like it was taken with 600mm at f4 (shallow DOF) and the sky like 28 mm f11 (plenty of DOF). Color range in PS might help you select the sky, but good luck making the transition from in focus to out of focus look natural. That is why good bokeh is so hard to fake in photoshop.

wedeko 0 Posted April 25, 2006 I like the photo, but you really used too much blur. That's really a pity, now the photo looks unreal. Maybe you should try it again and take the critiques with you. I think your images certainly will become better. Good luck! :) Link to comment
khawar1 0 Posted April 25, 2006 Lovely derrmy image.But it is not NATURE shot, it is photoart image because you have treeted havely in photo editing softwear Link to comment
elvis_mcneely 0 Posted April 26, 2006 The background does look un-natural. I love the tree and the falling leaves though. The sunlight lighting the backside of the tree and the leaves on the ground is a nice touch. Link to comment
tmjacobs 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Not a bad idea but the execution is far from optimal. To me it looked a bit like a bonsai tree.It might work better with less blur and (partly) feather the mask, so the transition from blurred to non-blurred is smooth. It may also help to blur a tiny bit of the foreground too (again, with a feathered mask), that would help suggest a limited DOF.Or....just be patient and try again this fall, with different camera settings.

masood2 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Very nice. I would crop just the top left corner to remove the sky which takes the focus away and out of such an excellent picture. Link to comment
