Very nice image. As already mentioned, it does have a painted look to it. Great, subtle lighting and colors. Nice work.

Great colors and subtle lighting. Very well composed as well. Excellent photo!

Great shot, beautiful. The grass and not including any other complete birds really help make the subject stand out. Great job.

Beautiful lighting and textures in this. Well done.

An early morning ascent of a peak in the Swis Alps. Thanks in

advance for any comments or critiques.

Everyone, thanks for the comments. Some good ideas, I think, about the background and exposure possibilities. As to the comment about some of the snow looking like it may have been moving, it was moving just moments before this shot was taken. The slope had just avalanched but it had stopped when I took this photo. I was a part of this party and moved out to take this photo.

Nice photo. Spectacular background and the dark foreground really adds interest to the whole image. Good job.

It looks like time well spent in PS. A very good image to start with and the colors and other effects add to it without overwhelming the original. Good job.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions, guys. It really is an amazing place.

A ski ascent in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland. Thanks in

advance for any comments or critiques.

Very nice. I like how well you captured the snow. I take a lot of shots in the snow and it seems to always be a struggle to get it to look the right white. You nailed it here and the morning light on the snow and mountains is great. The mountains really stand out against the dark sky.

Nice job. I've tried this same sort of thing without as much success. I really like the shadows.

Nice effect. I like the way it looks like a painting.

Nice capture of the dew drops on the leaves. It adds a little something new and different to something that would otherwise be ordinary. Good job.

Oleg, thanks for the comment. I just looked at the image on a different monitor than the one I worked the image on and the colors do look a bit off. Maybe I'll have to calibrate my monitor.

Stormy day on the Maine coast late last year. Thanks for comments

and critiques.

Something bad happened to this image during the upload. The file size has been reduced and the image quality has suffered greatly. The image I uploaded had none of the compression issues displayed here. Anyone see this sort of thing happen before?

This guy was really tearing up the slopes on one of our first spring-

like days this season. Thanks for any comments or critiques.

Beautiful lighting and colors! Great shot as is, but I wonder what it would look like with the subject less centered.

February 13, 2004

Very nice shot. I like the subtle colors of the leaves against the snow. Good job.

Great colors and lighting. The darkness in the lower left corner is the only problem here. I don't have a problem with the fisheye effect and instead think that it adds to this image. I can almost imagine myself lying on the ground where this photo was taken looking up at the trees. I think the view might look a little like this photograph. The effect, in my opinion, isn't overdone here and this is a good situation in which to use such an effect.
