*SHUDDER* Definitely an emotive shot and well-composed. I truly feel for whoever bit that apple, because I had the same experience once... *SHUDDER*

This could set one back a bit. Bump.

Tree and Lights in Fog (2)

Comment by Zed Pobre:
The problem was that this shot was taken off of the side of the road in a steep, wet ditch, which was practically the only good spot for it that didn't place me potentially smack dab in the path of an oncoming truck. This was the longest exposure time that I could take handheld (let's hear it for image stabilization!). Thanks for the comment, though.

The top detail remains visible on my own monitor, which is itself still a touch dark when checking it against the white-to-blackscale, but it's good to keep in mind that a lot of people will probably have the same problem you do.

Dove on Roof

Comment by Matthew:
Good capture - classic rooftop shot. Very slight lack of detail in the area around the chest and RHS of bird - very slight jaggies, plus very slight halo makes me wonder if a fraction less sharpening might improve. I might also have made the blue of the sky a little more intense, to capture the contrast with the orange light on the bird's chest. Central composition is fine, but I would experiment with variations on the third lines, and if printing large, with a "minimalist" style shot of this bird and a nice big, plain sky above and a wider crop..

Comment by Matthew:
This is an interesting photo, that I might have taken with quite a bit of underexposure to retain more detail. While I like the idea of glare through tree tops, there is perhaps a little more than I would choose in this photo. I would have experimented with a smaller aperture and longer exposure (still retaining underexposure), which , I think, would retain detail in the darker elements and possibly the light sources. This would give greater flexibility for post processing.

On this screen (admittedly lacking a little in brightness - but cranked up to the max), the top of the photo has lost too much detail to be interesting (faded to black) - though that could be my monitor. Curves in PS might be used to increase the contrast in that part of the spectrum.

I think the triangle challenge as a whole lacked originality, too bad you didn't submit this one, it would have been a most welcome break.
