Thanks for looking at and commenting

Your comment: "Only a master printer can do this justice. Go big or stay home", however left me totally confused.

 

Did you mean that it was poorly printed? Actually it has never been printed. The image was scanned from a slide. A low res jpg was then created for posting on photonet. My reaction when I first viewed the slide was, as mentioned by Nestor, underexposure; but it did not get immediately culled because something about the effect appealed to me. I cannot analyse & define the something, so reqested feedback from others.

 

Or did you mean that it was such an awesome image that it deserves to be billboard size? (Aaawww shucks!!)

 

Anyway. thanks again for taking the time to look and comment.

Thats what I like about photonet! Pictures are for looking at, and if I only see mine myself, then they don't really exist.

 

I like this too - the bigbold colours

good job on a theme that's often done poorly

cute shot, but the bordering is exessive for me.

I see tho that others like it, each to their own, "vive la difference!"

I like this, but wonder if it's just me

I like the "minimumalist" (?) nature of this. (which I think could have been enhanced by photoshoping out the lens flare, or whatever it's called, on LHS; unless purism prohibits) Evocative of Pete Turner's famous stuff.

I like it a lot

It's not easy to get such good exposure control of snow, and the composition is (IMHO) perfect.

Any tips on shooting snowboarders/skiers should be coming from you, to others.

Would I be nitpicking to notice the apparent scratch across the sky; or mistaken in that is a real cloud or jet contrail?

Congratulations on a nice shot.

Thanks for sharing

Like it? Don't like it? Why? Or just boring?

All comments and suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks for looking

great image!

I considered cropping tighter on RHS half way up the horse to

eliminate stirrup flying out of the frame, but I like the foot in the

lower corner. oh well..

I think this my favourite of all your photos because it combines (or uses) your ITE (indisputed technical expertise) with such human joy. The element of your ITE that impresses me most is your management of (in many cases) a great number of visual elements to keep them all supportive to the image whole.

I appreciaye your commenting. After scanning the slide, I tried bringing out more detail with photoshop, but as you say, it lost the silhouetting, and seemed flat, so left it this way. Comments on defocusing the background also noted and appreciated.

Chalk up one more positive. FWIW I like it

All feedback appreciated, the more specific the better

I chose this to submit because of the light. Thanks for looking.

I like this a LOT. Beautiful photo

Cropped this out of the larger pic in the same folio because I liked

the framing of the hat, but (I think) it changed the image from a

cute pic of a girl in a big hat to a more somber image with the dark

eyes and sober expression. Not sure which is the "better" result, or

are they just different but equal? Thanks in advance for taking the

time to look, and more thanks for comments -- especially suggestions

for improvement. I think if I'd used fill flash to get catchlight in

the eyes? But I didn't. 'Course I coulda put it in with editing, but

that's another can of worms!

I think(?) I like this one the best.

Verrry niice! Congratulations.

Query re exposure: experience? bracketing? other's recommendation?

 

I love. The way it is.

Agree with the comment that the placement of the man where he is in the photo creates the essential tension that defines the "extra" in this one. My 2c FWIW and congrats.

I like it a lot

Want a chuckle??

cool
