Thanks for your comments.

Great picture. Very nice color and composition.

i like this one very much...congrats.regards.

I super like it, great use of the color and shadows, very well done!

IMO this one is better then the collored version which looks a little artificial for me - especially the foreground. It would have been absoluteley perfect for me if the boy in the back would have been better visible...

But it is still a #1 shot!

Congratulations... alex

Very good shot, i like it a lot

Excelente imagen, belleza de luz, color, gran composicion, perfecto encuadre saludos cordiales Huy.

Very good Huy,i like the composition, the guy is not necessary to be in the photo if he is not noticeable .

Thank you everyone for spending time viewing, rating, and leaving such nice and helpful words on this photo. I truly appreciate your time and supports.

I have to say that this photo looks a little odd to me - as though muddy water was spilt over a good print. The variations in shadow and light look artificial, perhaps overly contrived

 

I apologise if this all seems negative, but I guess critique means saying what you really think.

Thank you for your comment, Mike. I really appreciate it, and you absolutely have the rights to state your opinions whether they are negatives or positves (I truly appreciate both). No need to appologize whatsoever. BTW, I did place this under Digital Alterations, and it is. There is so much to learn in PS, and I'm just a beginer, so hopefully I'd get a bit better someday.

wow!! simply excellent,nice tone. best regards

Very nice! great light and atmosphere

..excellent - congrats..

Excelent work that make form an ordinary shot into a great photo. well done!

regards, marius.

Thank you all.

Great choice of subjects but I feel like this is a little extreme in the "chiaroscuro" (light-dark) interplay, noticeably in some unusual places. I applaud your overall execution and evidently it has been well received as is too. But find it a little jarring in terms of my own sensibilities for such extremes in light-dark contrast.

I like this because it is different, especially the colours and the lighting. Very good emotivie image. Would you mind explaining how you achieved these colours as I would like to learn.

 

very good shot, good lighting and very accurate exposure with good DOF...

Thank you all for your opinions.

D, if you use PS, you can try these: decrease satuation, decrease brighness/contrast and adjust color balance as needed (I increase green, a bit of red and yellow for this photo), and adjust level as needed. For the .tif version or large size image, you can use unsharp mask, but for .jpg or smaller size image, use sharpen edge. Please let me know if that works.

The PS work looks a little heavy handed to me. So much so, I think the manipulatioin detracts from a fairly nice image. The biggest detractor is burning done around the edges - looks way overdone. Cheers!

First of all, thank you for spending time on this photo. Your opinion is very helpful, and I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Interesting use of light, and nice composition.

Congratulations!

Ramon.
