wow - you are a great photgrapher. Do you doesn't use digital post production effects/ corection options? It's no problem to remove little unlike elements with Photoshop CS. So if you doesn't use them, do you realy finde a so good color/uncolor contrast in real? Yes - cool - you have a great talent to find the right location at the right moment and the sun (light) ist with you *g*
OK, congrats on another ribbon, but this is getting ridiculous! A top 10 or ribbon in 6 consecutive challenges...sheesh! Whatever level comes after "Ribbon Hog," you've reached it. Most members don't have a personal best as high as your average! Hope you enjoy another week of total domination. ;-)
Fantastic atmosphere, this photo really is quite special.
I could be wrong, but the texture looks like in-camera sharpening was on 0 or above... as a result the fine detail has become a little too sharp and pixelated. I prefer -2 in-camera sharpening with USM later and a little Blur to avoid that coarse bitty pixelated texture. Personally, I believe it would then have broken 8+.
Wow, this is just amazing. The textures of the ground are so intricate and captivating, and the steam? rising really adds a different dimension, as does the figure in the background. How can I not give this a 10?
Looks like Iceland; landscape by Wagner, plus a few UFO's visible in the heavy sky. Anyway, it's terrific. So much texture it almost looks three-dimensional! I also like the figure exiting the shot; not just for the scale it gives, but it also suggests that this is an uncomfortable place. I'm not sure what you've done with the colour; it doesn't seem to be a simple selective desat ... whatever it is, I think it suits this subject. 8
Too bad this is an open challenge with basic editing since there are so many dust spots in the upper right corner, I am not going to let that affect my vote as I am sure you would have removed them if you could have. I like this shot, the composition is very good and excellent colours/contrast. I do however feel that it is slightly oversharpened, there seems to be a sharpening halo around the person up in the left corner. Great job all around, hope this comes out close to the top.
Wow! Excellent use of texture in a context. Looks as if there were a few water spots on the lens but forgivable given the environment. Also good use of selective de-saturation.
gotta be Iceland. :) I think what makes this image is the inclusion of a person. Doesn't hurt that the tones were excellently rendered, the DOF and Focus dead on and the POV perfect. I can overlook the spots (clean your camera!) as this is a basic challenge. Excellent job! 10- goodluck in the challenge!
At first glance this was really striking, but I think it would be stronger if you'd cropped the top quarter. The sky and figure dilute the shot for me, and make it look a bit over-processed. The bottom 3/4 of the image is beautiful.
Part of me would have prefered this photo with out the person, but I think that it may be a matter of opinion in taste not technique or creativity so don't think I should mark the photo down for it. Love the angle for the shot - could lose a little noise in the sky/cloud area.
This is so cool. I love the leading line to the figure and the "melting marshmallow" look of the ground. The light and dark is so interesting and the overall composition is great. 8
