Except for exposure it is difficult for me to identify cameras used for images on the left and center. The right image looses a lot of sharpness in the distant part near center

This, to me, is one of your best. I love the silhouette contrasted with the wall -- excellent work here Henri. Great tone on wall too. And all this framing a wonderful background.

Interesting shot. Excellent foreground and good background detail. I might have darkened the shadow more.

Thank you Henri,

This was my second photo ever taken with my, then, new D70 in 2004. Here I used a layer mask to darken sky and brushed it away from rest of scene with varying brush opacities to get more tonal variation in grass.

Stunning composition. For me the mountains in the background need more detail and contrast. Clouds and reflection are very good.

I really like this a lot. Superb texture, detail and tones. I am seriously contemplating moving to 4x5. After some research a field camera seems, for me, the way to go. Top of my list, now, is the Toyo Field 45AII w/the revolving back and fold out view shade; Nikon 135mm lens.

Thanks for the response. I'm not loosing sleep over it. I need to focus on the scene more instead of PS; or, perhaps, it is a symptom of small sensor size syndrome-). I am very eager to get back into the mountains later this month.

Thank you for viewing and your comments. Small looks better; still

I shifted curves left (towards shadows) a little. I agree with you and M.M. the posted version is flat both perceptually and of course mathematically.

 

I am at some point where I do not see the "forest for the trees" -- like my photos are photometry experiments on simple snapshots. Sure some are "breathtaking, superb, beautiful, stunning, awesome, spectacular, a masterpiece" -- and I appreciate those generous assessments; but the photos are without style.

 

Except for, perhaps my overuse of , selenium toning, could you identify one of my photos out a random pile of 10 or 20?

Thanks for looking. Here is the original; unmodified, except for jpg conversion.

Beautiful scene! My only quibble is the foreground tree needs more room on the right.

Stunning scene! Much better in large view.

Falls in background are well exposed in this very good composition. However, the foreground (rocks) are underexposed and the falls here are overexposed; you might try some selective curve work on this area to bring down highlights on falls and reduce shadows on the rocks.

Superb B+W composition! Geometric contrast is excellent, and glass refraction is wonderful!

I purposely chose to accent only shadowed areas with sufficient contrast. The light was harsh at about 1 o'clock in this perspective creating near blackout of the colt's face. Moreover, the mood I projected on to the horses was soft. The horses look as they are -- I do not know the breed.

Thank you both.

 

M.M., this is an experiment using PSCS3 ACR B+W conversion. I have noticed yellow and cyan need careful adjustments to avoid grain and quasi IR effects. Here, I was not too careful, but it is interesting.

Excellent lines and floor detail. Shadows, for me, are too deep in foreground-right.
