Challenge: Harsh Environments (Expert Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Location: Nova Scotia, Canada
Date: Dec 24, 2006
Aperture: f8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/25 -40, -160, -320
Date Uploaded: Dec 28, 2006

panorama made from 6 images, then a whole WHACK of layers - two hue/sat.s, gradient, bright/contrast, (all with masks), flatten, Gaussian blur masked, um, and others. lots.

I'm not sure if this will do well. i think the image is too big to show up properly. the stuff on the ground is the remains of a tree, cut, chopped, but not split. this seemed pretty harsh for a tree to live beside, to me...

This is a bummer it got a low score, I gave it a 7 I liked it alot. I like the long image and the black & white works good. I think it would make a good scary movie poster. (I like the lighting, and I don't think it is too dark, more just right)

I had a lot of trouble seeing this image on my monitor. I couldn't see the whole thing at once without copying it and viewing it in Windows Picture Viewer at a reduced size. Either way, on DPC or in Windows, I couldn't see it well enough to tell about the focus. I think I would like it a lot if I saw a very large print on a large gallery wall.

Great perspective of the tree, love the vignetting also it really brings your attention to what you were focusing on. Nice work.

I would prefer to see a little more on the sides. JMHO though.

the photo is cropped too small and it's too dark

This is actually quite nice but I'm put off by the extremely tight crop in this forum. As a specialty sized print say 8 inches tall by whatever the width would be, this would probably work very nicely. Sometimes you gotta keep in mind the dimensions that we have to work with when entering the challenges.

PS: I'm bumping it up slightly from my original gut instinct score...

Wow...are you sure that's not 721 pixels high? It's kinda tall. Oh, and narrow too. Different...good luck to ya!

I really wish this shot was a tad wider and I could really see the bones. This photo looks like it had a lot of potentials, just too narrow.

Not enough pixels to tell what we are seeing in the foreground.

I'm just going to go right out and say it: these extremely long thin images just don't work for me in a challenge situation: after paging through images that fill the page with big bold beautiful pictures, a long skinny, is a shock to the system which has been mesmerised up to that point. Now suddenly I've got to lean in close to the screen and scroll up and down because I can only see part of the image at a time, and so ultimately I get to see an image about 1/8 the size of the rest.

Having said that: I think your subject and composition are brilliant...if this had been a large square image it would have had so much impact.

Very chilling.
I like the perspective and style here. Shame the dodging and burning seems a little unevenly patchy.

I bet this would look phenomenal in BIG print like 2-3 meters high up on a wall but presented like this, in small websize resolution it just doesn´t work for me as dramatically as it might up on a wall. Courageous effort though, two thumbs up for that.
