The Look

The hand is the strongest part of the image, partly because of the lack of contrast in the other parts. The other parts, including the strong corner light, are noticeable enough to be distracting from the interesting hand but not strong enough to add power to the overall shot IMO. I'd experiment with additional light sources to give natural contrast and then with the sliders to emphasize the different tones that will emerge.

This is really nice. The dark tones, reflections, speed blur(?)and filled arches add up to a very interesting and artful photo.

Great shot and toning work. I love busy shots when they have this clarity and subtlety in shading.

Don't know why but I am drawn to these marshes too. This looks so organic and rich despite the season.

Nice find, but tell her to work on the eyelashes. Sorry, I shouldn't make fun of such a tearful moment. :-))

Valley Oak

Beautifully and simply composed with nice lines of the flat valley and undulating hills. The tree really looks securely planted and emphasizes the flatness of the valley floor.
