The lighting behind the Entertainer is perfect, love the angle which works so well with the subject.

interesting trees. I like how Waldina's hair color matches the tones found in some of the trees. I think she would have been more hidden if she didn't have the dark sweater tied around her waist though.

I'm one of the weirdos who happens to like natural backgrounds, so keep using them if you like them too! (Hi Carol!) By the way, your wife does indeed make a lovely model - I love the hat!

I don't mind the processing - it definitely gives it a different sort of feel which I rather like.

Comment by veggie:
Waldo is a too obvious, and the trees in the foreground not very sharp. Also the hot spots on the left are distracting

Comment by Bruce_the_Robert:
Good choice here for the challenge; the colors blend together well, and the scene has lots of interesting things to look at. Some of the little distractions seem to be drawing me away from this image, though, such as some of the things you can see through the trees on the left, or the house (or something colored) above the woman's head. Nice textures in the trees, though, and a good overall effort here.

Comment by _DaveA_:
This is great. Very appropriate title, too. A little tight on the bottom crop, though--just a little more space between the edge and the tail feather would have helped if you had it available.

an ok shot, and im realy not at all sure about the tonemapping. it just looks kinda wierd, and doesn't help the image at all. i'd love to see straight.
