I don't what to say about this. I think the dragon was a happy accident of HDR and the clouds moving. Thought about saving it for the FS, but now I have to find something else. :)
Somehow even though the sky is about 1/2 the photo, it feels like it is huge, maybe its the reflections in mud. Great photo and I think you might have a prob topping this at FS, or maybe not
Dang - I don't see the dragon. I'm sitting here looking around and it's not there. But what I do see is this barren tree sticking out in the middle of nowhere - and it looks beautiful. It's stark and dramatic and begs you to look at it.
You remind me that the void is a useful part of composition. The single dead trunk and the silvery tone all over work together to make this an image to which I find it hard to attach words. But that is the whole point. A picture tells a thousand words.... you did.
This is excellent, the perspective and and "Big Sky" feeling is really great. I like the sense of aloneness. It does seem like the horizon is tilted slightly.
I've become a huge fan of this lens. The perspective it offers is unique, and can make a fairly ordinary scene look spectacular. This photo is no exception...love it!
This is beautiful. I love how all your work has this beautiful, dramatic look. Can I be like you when I grow up please??? I want all my pictures to look like this!
i really like the landscaping here and the contrast with the different textures. I would say though that the composition seems a bit off to me. The horizon looks tilted unless that is a hill to the right. I almost want a landscape crop instead of a square crop as to see more of the land behind the stick in the mud. Very cool though.
I'm so not a fan of HDR but this looks nice. Minus a few edges you well captured the feel of this place said having never been there. Serene...secluded...creepy...it's all there.
I'm getting tired of HDR because it doesn't seem to be used for a reason lately...but your shot is excellent. You have used the higher dynamic range to just accent the bark of the tree and texture of the foreground, without going overboard and the sky looks "photographic" rather than HDR cartoonlike. I would have considered burning that foreground log to make it very dark to kinda add a natural frame, but it is a lovely composition.
The thing are drawn to most here is the long branch sticking up form the water on the right. I like the desolate feel of this short, well supported by the high contrast. The black near the bottom of the shot doesn't add much though.
This looks good, I like b&w hdrs and how it made the texture on the wood. I would score it hight in fs but some might not like the bright sun on the left.
