I really like this shot, very beautiful. I love the saturated colors and the foreground/background contrast. I am still learning post production digitally and have had a problem with "artifacting" in attempting to push the colors of my photographs, they look fine under 1000 pixels, but at hi res, you can see the difference, if you may, what affects are you producing on the camera and what are you doing digitally to enhance color like this? Thanks for your reply, no worries if you don't.

I'm not crazy about the use of Photoshop in this image. Sorry if this comes across as harsh, I certainly only want to voice my opinion of this picture and in no way do I mean any bad intent.

 

Firstly, no camera has a dynamic exposure range like this to shoot into the sun and still catch detail of a Pelican passing through it. This kind of manipulation takes credibility away from the photo, away from the photograqpher and away from the process of photography. It's very damaging. I appreciate the composition, but my thoughts go to why don't you go to the beach at sunrise or sunset and capture the image without damaging your reputation as a photographer.

 

Thank you.

That is stunning, beautiful, unexpected and perfectly natural. I can't imagine the muck you had to shoot from, interesting. By the way, that wouldn't happen to be Finnish daylight would it? Hyva!

Looks like you have a very good handle on it all. Nice composition, great pose, perfect lighting, perfect exposure! What's the question again? Be confident! That's really great work.

Stellar image, REALLY NICE! I love the contrast in color from the lighting, at first I thought it was two "comparison" photos, but the tree branch brings them together. Sweet shot!

Hi Ina. Nice photo. Not sure about the tape and border though. A photo should be read just as a photo, no borders. I know some people prefer them, and like to use borders for names and credits, I add a grey bar at the bottom of my photos for copyright info. The tape is really distracting from what is a good photo. Thanks and hope this helps!

Wow, that's amazing. I love the composition and the crop. The shape of the clouds is perfect too! Way cool!

That's just stunning, very crisp, nice crop, excellent composition and beautiful color! Nice job A+++++

Shot while driving around in the autumn, literally, I held the camera

out the window on a long exposure to capture the feel of the season...

Nice piece, I agree with the previous contribution, what's the blur below the leaf?

Nice image, good location. I like the balance of sky and terrain, just enough. Nice crop and composition, the only thing I would have done differently is brighten it up just a tad more. Just feels dark. Nice work!

It's beautiful, I wonder if it might be too saturated? Don't know, seems like it might be...

I stopped by a glacial lake in Montana to take this quick shot of

someone diving into the glistening waters. I loved the concept behind

this photo, pure refreshing fun. Go jump in a lake!

It's a remarkable image. I think the building on the right is a nice contrast to the rest of the picture. In the future, you might want to consider the rule of thirds in your composition and position the building a little more to the left in the image, about one-third in from the right, might make for a better composition. Great work!
