A very fresh view of this pueblo.

Lovely tone and warm color in general.

I find the sky a tad too dark on my CRT or I'd give it a 9 9.

This could just be a Mac VS Windows gamma issue.

Lovely blue-orange color harmony and tonality.

Atle, I feel this is an image with good compostion but the exposure or scan is lacking.

It is flat in tone and the right side with the rainbow is slightly overexposed.

 

I reset the levels in Photoshop, and burned the area from the Rainbow to the right edge slightly to create what IMO is an improved version.

See what you think.

Lovely pastoral composition, tone and color.

No doubt the saturation was boosted in Photoshop as Sensia is a fairly low saturation film and these colors pop out.

I like the upper left cropping the best.

Let the poll begin. :-)

Fred if you're happy with it as it sits that's good.

 

But if you try it slightly off center and in a direct A/B you like it better resubmit as a second image and see what everyone else thinks.

 

I go through 2 or 3 iterations on most of my images. I ask my wife for input and tweek some.

By the time you see it here or I put it up for sale it's generally in it's 3d incarnation. I feel images are works in progress.

 

Ansel Adams most famous image is Moonrise at Hernandez. He had a lousy negative to work with and struggled with it for 6 months before he got it to the point you see in print. I guess at times he felt it would never get there.

 

Today some people think you produce great images by pointing and shooting. I believe this is rarely true. A great image can have a very long gestation period indeed! :-)

I second Leigh's comments.

Too bad its a 3 megapixel digicam image.

A 24x30 of this made from MF or LF would be spectacular.

Nice light and unusual composition.

I would burn the green spot on the right to a tone more harmonious with the rest of the shot.

Your nicest shot to date.

Good use of a square compostion.

A wonderful wildlife shot grabbed in the shadow of a swarm of humanity. Great timing, tone, composition and seeing. Bravo!

I think this is the better of the two Piute photos.

Even though the other one has at first glance more dramatic light, the light IMO diminishes the overall tonality and color rather than adding to it.

Very nice tone and color.

But it's cropped so dead center.

I can't hope but think a little asymmetry would yield an even nicer image.

You have some interesting light in the forground here, but the image falls flat after that.

 

The mountains in the midground are dark and dreary.

 

The top cloud is interesting, but the other clouds don't visually flow to it and are somewhat blown out.

Nice light and color Jean.

I feel the compostion would be a little stronger with some of the less interesting space on the left cropped out.

I enjoy the color, tone and composition of this shot. If it was mine though I'd remove the bush digitally.

A wonderful balance of tone, detail, and composition.

 

It has an amazing 3D quality. One of the best garden flower shots I've seen. Great job Scott.

 

We've got to get you out to the Rockies some time so you can see the fields of wildflowers in a good year!

 

I just published an article on digital vs film image quality which you might find interesting.

I agree with Thomas. Love the tree and the light.

A great concept with good execution.

A very nice and original version of this shot!

 

I think the 2 f-stop filter would have worked better slightly darkening the forground as it would appear to the eye. All reflections appear darker by 1/2 to 1 f-stop than the original.

 

This slightly darker version would give a better visual flow between the lower and upper half of the image. A slight warming of the forground would also remove the blue cast always seen on film in the shade.

Cartier-Bresson couldn't do any better!

Well done..

Good light and composition!

The scan appears a bit grainy to me.

This image has some nice light, but it lacks a clear focus. The emptiness of sky leaves my eyes wandering.

 

The image seems cropped too tightly on the top.

I like this image, but I think the sky is blocking up a little because you used a direct reduction to greyscale. It would be possible to use the PS channel mixer command and control the tone in the sky better. It reduces the R,G, and B channel seperately and let's you control the things better.

Nice compostion with the net well integrated into it. Just remove the date stamp as suggested!
