Unfortuntely, the sky adds nothing to this and the lower right/bottom portion is too dark which leaves the mts. This could've been very nice if you had adjusted your exposure or used a filter. It also would have been nice had the sky been blue or perhaps some clouds would have helped. Were you shooting into the sun?

This is very nice, but I had to paste the number into the link in order to bring it up. Maybe check your thumbnail link to see what happened.

I think the yellow hue adds warmth to an otherwise cold image. It actually appears inviting.

Very mesmerizing! That must have been a real feat.. walking back down in the same footprints you made going up.. you're lucky you didn't lose your balance and make a body print too, lol.

The textures in this are exceptional, I also like your grey tones.

Beautiful scenic view, excellent vantage point with amazing DOF. I like the way the dark sky brings your eye back down to the waterfall. The detail and vivid color is right on. Very nicely done.

This should have scored a lot higher than it did. It's excellent.

You are indeed an artist and this is an excellent example of impressionistic digital imagery. It appears to be a lensbaby shot although I'm no expert, I think you achieved the effect very well, with or without.

Addendum: Brad, I wish you would share with us the technical aspects of your PP so people can better understand what was involved in achieveing this effect.

The Birds

You're absolutely right, it has the same eerie feeling as Hitchcock's The Birds and I think the reason is because they used similar closeup angled shots when filming to give the illusion of being attacked by the birds. The closeups also camouflaged the fact there weren't that many birds to begin with. But, you definitely captured that illusion. I also like the composition/design of your image and the line of clouds along the bottom to counter balance the birds and give the feeling of height/depth.

Very well done, Jamie!

Nicely improved. The snowflake in the eye is gone and the contrast is better. I like the softness in this image, it's very natural. I think this is one of your best.

Again, I like the sharp detail you captured in these birds. Nice contrast of lights and darks.

Interesting composition, very quiet and subdued.
