What are all of the orange splotches. I think that it would have been better if the color had been confined to the tree and did not spill over into the black and white.
What happened to the colors here? I think it would work if the tree was the only thing with visible color. But I see little patches of color all over and it is very distracting.
Sorry but the post processing has made this look like white spots all over the photo including the darker tree. It is actually very hard to look at. Did you over sharpen maybe? BTW my monitor is calibrated, it can look very different on an uncalibrated monitor.
Unfortunately this is rather noisy and unappealing for me. It looks selectively desaturated, not a favourite technique of mine, but judging from the colour noise in the scrub area, I'll guess not. It looks a bit overprocessed to me (oversharpened, over noise-reduced, and over-curved maybe). The composition is pleasing though, aside from the little mass top centre, and the shape of the tree is quite lovely. 5
I love selective desat but somehow the tree just does not stand out enough here imo. Maybe if it was highlighted more it would pop, also perhaps the tree could be more in the third. I do really like the textures used and the occasional hint of red in the shrub.
Not sure if a filter was used here or if it was standard PP, rated the picture low either way. Very blotchy and nothing really appealing. Colors (red, green, yellows etc) on the ground don't look natural or fit. Diff take on lone tree in feild type picture but doesn't work for me.
