Like the DOF, maybe a bit more saturation with a tighter crop would have helped IMO. Nice work non the less.

Really like your DOF and setup, I like the colors you brought out also, but I think maybe everything in grayscalle with the butterfly's on a tighter crop would have been more of a WOW. IMO...Great shot non the less. 6

Man this really is a great photo. From the clouds to the dessert ground it all works. Love the light desaturation also. Well done Shawn, keep up the good work.

Incredible shot Leslie. I love the slight desaturated look and the expression on her face. Great DOF and composition. Nice work dear. P.S. Love the troll on your portfolio. ;)

I agree, the USM seemed to put a glow around the building. Much better in tones than the original. Bringing down the Brightness helped. Also a much sharper image. USM is a little heavy, I would try burning a bit of the blown out boards at the top of the building IMO. But nice job non the less.

LMAO... Love it.... You must have cooked him after takin him out and then bleached the heck out of the skeleton to get it that white. Not that I would know how to get the bones to look that great...

This is a really nice shot and idea here Larus. Very unlike your usual work and I think that rocks. Your editing is incredible. Well worth the 7 hours. The only thing IMO is the holding of the skull, almost too staged. The expression is great, love the bottle, but maybe his head down in disgust, or lost because of being in there. Hell maybe even offering a drink to the skeleton. But the holding the skull just don't work for me. IMHO. But what do I know I finished like 260. Nice work though.
P.S. Where the hell did you get a skeleton?!? And thanks for your critique on my pic again.

This is too sweet of a shot, the colors are incredible, the compostion and editing are just sweet. And the fantasy feel to it is great. Nice work.
