I too like the bikes there. Do you have a full tree shot, in square perhaps?

Just playing around with my new Wacom tablet. Thanks for any

thoughts!

Striking shot Ian! I really like the contrast between the strong light on the cliffs and the much softer light on the beach stones.

Bengt, you're the "Planar" king on P.net I just did a "tag search" and they are almost all yours!

Love it! Great star.

I like this one. It abstracts a bit more on the masks and emphasizes the geometry of the carvings.

I liked the thumbnail when I saw it in the queue, but there are a couple of things that I think would help this in general. The shadows fall off quite sharply, so we lose a lot of detail in the mask on the left. I like the composition and the arrangement of the masks, but I'm wondering if setting the masks at different depths would create a more direct image by emphasizing and focusing on one of them. My eye tends to simply jump back and forth between the two. I hope you keep trying different compositions and lighting; they are very interesting.

Very nice composition.

The thing with these shots is getting the right balance. It's not so even and static, but neither is one side so much heavier than the other. I'd take this one over the straight shot.

One word: awesome!

Landscapes, portraits, and now flora, I like your style and sense of composition.

Different. I like it!

Wow, that brigde has character. Excellent shot.

This one is a bit different from the other. Here the aurora looks to be under the coulds, whereas in the other, the clouds are definately below the aurora.

This is stunning. It looks so much better in "Large." There is an odd compression in the sky in the small version.

Does she still have a name? The thin veil of clouds creates a neat effect with the aurora.

Thanks Chris... off looking up de Koonig now ;-)

Neat! I don't have any experience in graphic design, so I don't know what is and is not possible in terms of decoration. I've seen this kind of thing on TV where the vectors grow out of a point of origin, like you have here with the young snowboarder. I think it works better in television because you have a moving subject, the viewer's eye never rests, and the connection with reality is never completely lost. I don't know if it is possible to bring back some of the original scene in some way. Still, at first glance, it caught my eye, and looks good.

 

Edit: The colors are fine, but for the brightness of the scene and the explosivness of the vectors, the snowboarder needs to be brighter: think fill flash. Here's a quick and dirty example:

Thanks for the comments everyone.

 

Jeff, I have some idea how it will turn out, that's how I base where to start and stop the pan. In this shot you can see how the yellow streaks are mainly in the center of the image. There was this area of canola that hadn't yet faded so I tried to pan equally around it. The fun part is seeing how the sky and horizon will turn out. I never really know what they will look like; there are so many subtle tones and contours across the sky. If I recall, this pan comprises an area of about 170 degress.

Quite a sight to behold. Great foreground.

Very interesting fog. Almost a studio backdrop in nature.

The broad strokes of a waning canola field at sunset. Thanks for any

All the different shades are quite remarkable!

Hi Bengt, yup this is a 4x5 camera pan. Cropped from full frame, too.

 

Jeff, something like this perhaps?

Wonderfully done. Everything fits very nicely within the frame. Whatever you did, the exposure on the backside of the mountain turned out very well.
