After the Storm

I have to agree with rex the sky looks out of place. Did you use PS and the highlight/shadow function. I know when I use it sometimes I get this type of look.

It's a very nice photograph and one worthy of keeping. I would try a re-edit. I love the green field/grass with the bright red barn house against the golden clouds on the blue sky.

Could you post the original unedited version? I would love to see what it looks like.

Hi,
Thanks for the comment. As for a filter, there was none used. Just an average shot in the middle of the day and a lot of PS work. I know most people don't like a lot of PS work but I liked this picture and felt something was there and I worked on it until I felt I achieved what my vision was of the tree.

Nice capture. The only thing I would of liked to of seen would be a deeper DOF to pull the wings into focus. Other than that Great Job!

I set my camera to TV @4 sec to get the flow of the water. Had to set the amp. to f/32 to keep from overexposing the photograph. It was still day light when I took the picture. You can see the sun set colors on the columns of the buildings at the right top.

Challenge: Time Capsule
Details: Take a shot that depicts an era in time. Your title should be the year that you are trying to capture for future generations.

Nice capture making a good shot for the wedding album.
I would try to make the right column vertical if possible. Maybe with a perspective change. Other than that, great capture.

The Way it Was

Good job. I agree about the blue hue in the fence. Other than that I like it. The picture is busy and by leaving some saturation it makes the subject stand out. Again Good job!

Color looks good here. Some may think its over saturated but I don't think so. I think what is happening is the foreground is over powering the subject (bridge/waterfall). I would of like to seen the top of the bridge down a little more and not as much or any of the grass. I think this would balance the saturation. Hope that helps. With all that said I still think it's a good shot. Again I love the scene.

Nice use of ss, I like the water fall.

Very nice site to take a picture. I feel the horizon needs to be straight as well. Looks to me like the picture has a haze over it, kind of like the contrast is off. Like you would see if taken through a car window or lens fogged up. Other than that looks good. I think it could use a little more processing. Good composition.
