I was amazed at the soft, warm light in the original shot. I have used

a plugin filter for photoshop here. Can anyone guess which one(s)?

What do you think about the tonal range? Did the filter setting cause

a loss of too much visual information in the shadows?

Ok so you have some fantastic eye for shots of beautiful women. But quite frankly your photoshop skills need a lot of work. The light source of the women is clearly different to that of the BG, this makes her look flat and cut out. I would have dropped the brightness of the women a little and maybe tried copying, flipping and using an overlay transparency to create a reflection of her in the water. Or alternatively why not just stage it and get the shot you have tried to create hear.

Love your other work though.

This photo freaks me out a little like I am looking over the cliff. The figure is a little out of focus though and the colours are not so vibrant. Watch the composition with the land and water divide, it is nearly centered.

You really got out there for this one. Well done.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

I've had a canon EOS 500 for some time but never really utilised it.

Recently I purchased the talked about EOS 300D REBEL. I've shot this

night time exposure on the 300D with a Canon Ultrasonic 28mm - 105mm

This shot is of a float at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardigras 2004 a

few nights ago.

I look forward to your feedback.
