This is a wild one. I really like it. Best barbed-wire I've seen in a long time. I would burn in the bottom left light spot so it wouldn't draw so much attention. Very cool.

I'm with Kent. Nice different perspective.

Excellent portrait - nice work. I like the long crop. I only wish we had these guys in the part of the country where I live. I have to settle for green and blue herons.

Nice catch Rafik. You, and the bird. I don't know how herons can swallow some of the huge things they catch.

Nice comp and background. What kind of bird is this? Very unusual looking.

June 6, 2006

Hey Joe, this is nice. I especially like the comp. I did a similar thing a few days ago. Check out my latest post if you want.

I like the background also, but wasn't too sure about the hanging moss until you mentioned that it is framing the bird. Yeah, I guess it's growing on me the more I look. Just need that one strand removed that "touches" it's head IMO.

Very nice that you got the warm effects of the lamps (because of your high perspective) instead of bright bulb glare. Very cool.

Seems to be some very jealous people around here judging from the number of 3's.

Bravo Angel!

... 21st Century Schizoid Man ... but don't remember "Islands".

Ahhh, d200... I can't get one now, but am on a waiting list for when the next wave comes in.

Now, you need to go do this again and just get that island(?) at the bottom, all alone, surrounded by the red. Alex says to just hire a helicopter !

June 1, 2006

Yeah, we just noticed the d200 on the new ones.

Excellent man. With so many to choose from, I like this the best (so far). Nice symmetry split with the river diagonal. Nice details through those thick windows.

Yikes, tough one to expose huh? Pure black to pure white. Great choice for the IR application. Brought up thoughts of Stephen King (his best stuff - that is). If I would change anything, it would only be your frame. I think you need a 1 pix line to outline the very edge of your image. That would help hold in the bright whites at the top. The fence at the angle you shot works nicely. Eerie atmosphere you got here Walt.

Nice job Vladimir.

Excellent - great composition.

Very nice Ellen. The clouds are a nice addition. I would like to see a little of your bears' face, but I like it anyway.

Nicole, I picked a brush size in "dodge" just big enough to cover the water on top and made a few passes with "midtones" selected, then switched to "highlights", and made a few passes over as well to bring out the highlights. Don't get me wrong, I really like the original, this was just a suggestion regarding your question. See ya later...

How about mids and highs dodged a little?

May 6, 2006

This is great. Too dark? I don't think so - the exposure looks spot on with no hot spots in the whites. I wish I could get sharpness like this with my similar lens/tc combo. Again, just excellent Nicole.
