Very interesting shot. The comp is beautiful, but the house and powerline elements are a tad distracting. The highlights on the edges produce a slightly 'oversharpened' look. The shot has a ton of potential, and I'm interested to see more work of the same design.
Kewl. All that's missing is a ten year old boy and a stranded alien botanist with the power to heal with his index finger and a passion for reese's pieces and rigorous bike rides.
Very nicely done. I like the way that the leaves are illuminated. The only thing I'd rather not see is the moon, but that's partially because it always looks fake when portrayed realistically in a photograph where it's not the focal point (prima donna heavenly bodies). You did a nice job of placing just enough light around the man's silhouette to clearly identify him as a person and not just an oddly shaped bit of foliage. If he were holding a torch rather than a flashlight it would give the image a very different feel, which I personally would find a bit more interesting.
I love the light in this picture...the giant "glowing tree"...to me the picture has a slightly sinister feel to it...but that's probably because I've had too many nightmares with people chasing me...really effective and powerful photo, nicely done.
Great shot, very dreamy, mystic and atmospheric. The only thing in this image that distracts a bit IMHO is the house to the right and the lines in the background. Very good shot nevertheless. 8
The flashlight doesn't work for me. However....the rest of the image is just perfect. Especially how the tree is just a bit off kilter.
A suggestion which may also work well is to have your subject in a more suspenseful pose...perhaps head turned left or right and arms and legs cocked ready to bolt.
A bit too oversharpened to my taste, but in this case(dreams) it works. To remove the power line, and the building would be a real plus to the whole image. Your getting a top score from me.
Excellent idea and very nicely executed. Only 2 things that bother me - the "cables" running across the tree and the red area to the right don't work well with the rest of the image. The small light in the sky is starting to bug me too now!
The backlight is superb though, and the exposure well controlled. A very strong image.
i really like the overall lighting effects in this shot....i just find the big light spot behind the tree to take away from the man a bit and distracting from his being lossed
You found the technique for a magical image. Love the lighting on the tree and landscape. With Advanced editing, if you had cloned out that flashlight and the moon, (for me) this would have been an automatic 10. As it is, a super 7.
