Wel in a nutshell you have blown out a lot of highlights. And on the shadow half, the right side the shadows and colors of the shadows are conflicting. Since it is not full high key the lack of contrast works against the whole image. On a more minor not the models skin needs some touching up: particularly the moles on her chest, as well as her chin area. Nice start, but only a start imo -
<p>robert R asked, "What are your opinions on this body and lens combonation ?"<br> <br> That is an impossible question to answer because you failed to say what purpose you had in mind for it. <br> ...But I second Robin Smiths' observation! </p>

You have almost converted me into an IR admirer. You have recently submitted two or three of the most outstanding examples of IR that I can recall seeing. This one is perfection personified...to paraphrase Shakespeare, 'Hie thee to a gallery' and grab an agent on the way! -
This is an outstanding photo. Flammable. -
Alf's is the answer! -
The example with the reduced noise by MLM(?) shows what I was referring to. Set the to pics side by side and you will see that the noise reduced ones stars are much larger in diameter (hence less sharp), So it is your call.

Use your EYES! Histograms don't 'see' they just give averages. Show this and your other 'Paths' photos to some of the old time REAL pros and get their opinion of the exposure in these, and what they say about histograms. My suggestion would be to buy Syl Arena's Light for Digital book and really really study it. -
Just my opinion but it appears that you are teetering on the edge with noise reduction even tiny bit more and you will start destroying stars.
-
The highlights, especially the swan are blown out. Comp is nice. -
I do like this one of the Chinese Garden. It does not contain the 'Pizza Hut' element of a previous version. ;) Actually hints at the Forbidden City, and you start looking for those ceramic soldiers! Jokes aside, this is a very well executed shot. -
So you want to photograph a band...

<p>That's just a good example of very bad photography. In reference to the OP link.</p> -
Lose that godawful frame! Then crop it to a vertical. -
Well the most obvious problem is over exposure., low contrast. And I in no way implying an HDR makeover, just working a dropping the exposure, raising the contrast a touch (which will increase saturation. The only thing it really maybe sort of lacks is a clear object for size reference. Nice pleasing shot.
-
IMO that shot really doesn't need a crop. Maybe some noise reduction, but I am not really firm on that either. I like this: You have distinct fore-mid & back grounds. -
I honestly wish that someone qualified to critique a photo of this quality would do so. I would read it over and over, because it would contain knowledge way beyond mine. I would frame, and hang this in my home, in the most prominent space. -
It looks like a piece of blown glass work and pasted over the Hubble 'Galaxies' picture. ??? -
Straight out of 'Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy' ;)

Siamak, I have looked at three of your latest photos and they show a common factor: They all show framing, and or compositional problems. You shots are technically very good, and the subjects as well...they just need a little more thought put into them before pressing that shutter button. -
Subjects centered. The shadows, which would give indication of where this couple were heading is cropped off. In my opinion framing that couple to the left and upwards (so as to get the shadows), as well as leaving more space downwards and to the right would make for a picture with a story. As it stands...just a snapshot. -
Es sólo una instantánea de todos los días. No se puede hacer mucho con esto. Inténtelo de nuevo y prestar más atención a la composición. -
If the right 1/3 of the picture were cropped out I believe this picture would be closer to great. The rays of light emanating from the clouds are the key. -
This is what happens when you leave a D4 out in a storm!

Chinese garden in Infrared B&W conversion
didereaux commented on henry_nguyen4's gallery image in Landscape
I am great admirer of Chinese, and Japanese gardens. Somehow this 'çover' as transitioned one into a stylized Pizza Hut. Don't get me wrong it is technically very well executed. Its just that the technique executes the garden! ;) -
...to be nearly perfect. Well done. I would frame it. -
Now I would disagree about that little vertical white cloud. I would crop it it out because it only draws the eye away from the main subject(s). In addition that extra info on the right unbalances an otherwise beautiful shot.
