Hello from the Critique Club,

Congratulations on a very solid entry for the Lighting III challenge. The above average score shows that the voters believed this image met the challenge and that the lighting played a major role in the image. When I voted on this image, my first impression was that it looked over processed, as the trees on the right side have a lot of haloing around them and lack detail along the edges of the trunks. After reading your comments on the processing steps you used, I can see this was not the case. So why does it look over processed? Since I haven't taken any shoots similar to this one, I can only guess. My guess is that it is slightly overexposed for the trees on the right. It would have been interesting to bracket the exposure on this set up and see if a slightly underexposed image might have produced sharper edges on the trees and yet retain the wonderful coloring of this image. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim
