Cow at Dusk
by posthumous

Comment:
I gave a low score so I should justify it. I think the black point has been set too high which makes the cow look flat, there is a good deal of noise in the face of the cow too. Also, there are some blown highlights in the upper branches of the tree. All correctable.

Composition-wise I think chopping off the top of the tree doesn't do a lot for the image. Goodness me I've said too much, and actually I'm not good enough myself to be so bold with my critique; but I do think I should justify my score.

Subject-wise, I think there would be quite a lot of potential here but a lot of it goes unrealised.

Not badly executed but for me, the subject isn't the greatest and you would need some really creative editing to bring more interest to the scene.

This would have been a really nice image but the banding around the sun ruins the effect.

Fantastic - I love the way you have included the Moon, Venus and Jupiter alignment in this shot - and with an interesting foreground too. I hope you ribbon.

I suppose the exposure kind of defined itself - I had left the ISO on 100 to minimise noise, I set the camera to +1.0ev to accommodate for the backlight and then set an aperture of f/11 to get enough DOF to ensure everything was sharp. At those settings a 1.6 sec exposure was what was needed for the exposure to be OK :-)

Thanks for the congrats.

Just reviewing the last Bokeh challenge. This is a flat-out amazing shot. It should've ribboned.

Nice picture but the border gets in the way.

Wow - under basic too. Single long exposure, physical masking, two glasses and a change of lighting?? That must have been hard to pull off.
