man under tree- IR

Comment by PHOTOKID:
Even though there is a man under the tree, I do not think it helps the photo at all. I think the major contrubution of this strength comes from the tree branches. Dont get me wrong I do think this shot is strong, but my noting it the tree then the sky and finally the foreground. As for the hizy circle, I thik I read somewhere it is caused by the lens, if you have one try it????

Very beautifully done, I like the B&W on theis shot, the detail shows very well with it. There is nothing I see that in this photo I do not like.

Excellent Shot!

Excellent work Danica. The lighting combined with the cracked effect works so well. Could you share with us no-so-knowledgable how the cracked painting type effect was done?

I don't know what sort equiptment you have but it would be good to really zoom in on the whale..
It'll make a much more impactful shot.

I would try a portrait orientation for this.. :)

The composition is nice
You might want to reshoot this when the weather is better..
1) Sky without blue is really gloomy, but that doesn't seemed like the way you'll want this photo to turn out.
2) You seemed to have tweaked the curves a little for this shot lossing some details in mean while..

I agree with going B/W for this..

think if you converted to b/w these holiday pics would have more impact.

You gotta love the whale watcher at hermanus!

What a character.

Anyhow, wont comment as extensively as I did on the previous one, but I think the same law applies.

Your subject here isnt singled out dramatically and feels a little lost with all the other colours. Judging by the overcast conditions, there wasnt a lot you could do though!

COmposition in this shot is great. I like the way the pier moves deeper into your picture.

I dont know if it's my screen but the clouds above are a little 'too' intense and adds a bit too much of a grey feel to the overall photo. Also, I think if you cropped a little off the clouds on top, it'd be a little more impactful perhaps!

Hope it helps :)

I like the tilt also, works well as a lead in. The composition isnt as strong in this photo as in the other IR, but the tonal diferences of the entire photo make up for it, tonals are almost like candy for the eye. You should try and extended IR of a river. I wonder what that would look like. Might be a fun experiment. Keep shooting.
