Jorge I disagree that its perfect in every way, I have made it larger and it seems to be soft on focus at the eyes. The legs seem sharper. Other than that it needs a quarter of the right side cropped off IMHO.

The rest of the image is very good.

Where is this place ? All your images have the same type of lighting? Is the lighting natural?

There are many clone marks on this image

Hi Cosmin Nice exposure and lighting, however flower photography demands that a perfect specimen be used. This flower looks tired and worn out.

Sorry to spoil the party, that rock is an eye block for me, my eye keeps returning to it instead of the COI, I also think the foreground is not required up to the lighter water coloured pool. Bottom third could be classed as wasted information. One poster said the composition was perfect, well I couldnt disagree more but thats just my opinion.

Hi John

was this Victoria or Tasmania or elsewhere?

Regards

Peter

I would like to see more of the bottom. Its cropped too tight for my liking. Otherwise a beautiful image.

Every now and then an amazing shot appears here, this is one of them. Chris, I doubt whether anybody could improve on this, the focus, timing and composition are absolutely brilliant. Kudos to you for a magnificent image.

It was very nice, except for the banner. I know why its there but unfortunately it does ruin the image.

Hi Stephan, its been said before, raters should not be anonymous, that would get rid of the gutless. However if the rating system didnt have anonymity then many images would not progress up the ladder.

Jennifer, plenty of impact in this shot. I think clone out the meat for an even greater impact

Congratulations on your 1st posting - a brilliant start.Doesnt get any better than this, timing is perfect and background better than perfect.How could any miserable sod give this a 4/4 rating ?

Great photoshop technique, looks exactly like a Rarinda Prakasa image as well.He does the same technique and is from Indonesia too.

Also have a look at his folder - very nice !

Hi its spelt KOOKABURRA.Fine shot

This is an absolute beauty ! You are a brilliant photographer Jody.

Hi Zack, this is magic and I love it. The cracked mud looks like metallic glass and has a fired look. The sunrise adds beauty to the fragility. 7/7 from me.

Hi Chip, this is too magenta for me - the sunlight doesnt look normal. I would also clone out that small strip of dark cloud top right.Just my opinion.Otherwise a very beautiful image.

You cannot combat faceless cowards who lurk on photonet. They must have nothing better to do than sweat on a great image arriving so they can kick its guts.

I would like to see this image without the gradient filter added.Just wondering what the original looks like.Thanks

Hi Kjartan

This is a good an image as Ive seen anywhere in the world - goes to show that natural photography has it over manipulated anytime.

The feeling this image evokes is absolutely sensational !

Congratulations !

Hi Dan

this a very nice image, colourful, well balanced, well exposed and dreamy.

Pleasant.

Gday Frank - I would be giving this another try - very creative. Peter, Ballarat

This is a very pleasing image, very Asian, and one would have no trouble selling this.

Hey John - where do you get a bride like this ? I am jealous of how much fun you would have had !!

Peter

Gday Alan -well that is uncanny - the similarity in our shots. I had taken comet shots on the 2 previous nights and realised that I had to get a really strong foreground to add impact. This great location was only 5 minutes out of town. Thanks for the nice comments.
