Mark, first let me say that the moment captured here is fantastic and cudos to you for seeing it. Unfortunately it is out of focus and not on par with your other works which by the way are for the most part fantastic. I am also not sure about the crop on this photo I would like to have seen the full arms on both the left and right subjects. Keep up the good work.

4/6

 

The fist thing that catches my eye is the knot in the background it stuck out and really distracted from the overall photograph. It seems that the face of the model is slightly out of focus. The light source has caused some very strong shadows behind the model and part of the cape or drape to be underexposed.

4/4

What ever kind of fish it is, I like what you have done with it. I can't help but wonder if it might have been just a little better with the drops (runs) of paint beginning to disperse in the water....keep up the great work.

All in all a nice capture. Unlike Ralu, I do not see anything that strikes me as unreal, a word used in a few of that members ratings. I really like the way you captured the light play on the forground tree. The diagonal running from uper left to bottom right serves the composition of this image well.

Ellen,

Let me know what ideas this gives you, and if the idea is an image please share it.

As Chris said the light source isn't (inho) all that important the important part is getting the white balance set correctly for the existing light. This is a really big advantage of digital photography instead of changing film we can simply adjust our white balance and ISO settings for the invironment we are working in.

You can fashion a light tent out of a few dowels and a white bed sheet. A couple of regular desk lights or clip on lights work really well. When you do this shoot in raw so you can adjust the white balance or set your white balance manually.

MM,

Thank you for your very constructive comments on this photograph. The link is indeed a read worth the time.

 

Kim,

I hope you didn't think I was angree or upset in any way about your helpful critiqe. That is what I asked for, I was just unable to see in my minds eye what you were seeing in yours. I like the idea of changing the opacity on the hands...maybe even adding some motion blur.

 

Thank you very much for following up, and please don't stop giving your opinion...

 

Best regards

Thank you all for taking some time to view my eye drops. I had been wanting to do a water drop shot for some time but hesitated thinking a would probably just get my camera wet, not to mention the fact that it has been done in so many ways.

 

George, I will ad some reflection to the eye one of these days to make it match more closely. Happy New year to one and all.

Nice capture. May the new year bring nothing but good things to you and yours.

Tweaked and adjusted to come up with what I think is a little better. You let me know if I hit the mark.

 

Thanks ahead of time.

There can be no doubts about the amazing amount of talent and inspiration found on PN. So many people capturing so many images and sharing them with everyone. Nothing but good could come from that.

 

Thank you everyone for your comments and your time. Keep those shutters flaping and keep up loading those images. We all have so much to learn.

Its all in the timing...and you got this one right on time. Well done.

 

7/7 and if there was a catagory for effort, I'd have put a seven there as well.

Ed and Kim,

Thank you both for taking the time to coment on this picture. Kim I have looked and looked at the hands, and Im not seeing the "off" bit. Help me out if you have the time and show me what you mean.

From a book or from your imagination, I like it and you did it very well.

 

A 7 O 5

I am thinking about using this image in a course for PSE3 any

suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Just passing some time..

 

 

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

In the middle of a field this lone pine tree stands in solitude.

 

Your comments are always welcome and most appreciated.

Reminds me of the 1920's dust bowl. Great capture

Nive angle.

A work of art. Well done.

Nice job of balance whith the sun shining on the snow so brightly and still being able to pull the color our of the shaded blue. Well done. How ever it is much too cold to be outside...;-)

Really well done, I think though I would have croped differently. All in all I like it.

I really like what you have done here. Not only the PS effects but the idea of doing a flower in shades of grey. Great stuff.
