Lovely image and nice idea...but your model looks bored and uncomfortable... the facial expression and bodyposition really detract from the photo. Also given the somewhat muted and and rather understated lighting and colors, his yellow hoodie make him stand out too much (IMHO)
Good exposure, dof, light. I wonder if the composition would be even better if the subject wasn't in the center -- tho I'm not sure about that in this case. Nice job!
Great idea and great tree! I think a little more contrast or playing with post processing to get the greens to stand out a bit would have helped you get a much higher score.
It would have been really neat if your "model" could have been robed or wearing something you would see in Lord of the Rings as this setting has a mystical feel to it.
The flare in lens barrle drops the contrast and viacity of the colors. either shooting in shadow or pushing them back up in post processing would have helped. the trees on either side don't add much to the composition, did you concider a squarer crop? i like the basic line of the shot but it could have been made stronger.
I wish your subject was a little bit more interesting, but he's kind of bland. You could have done alot more with that awesome tree, maybe use a smaller person. Also, honing in on more of the tree and less of the woods would have helped too.
What a GREAT capture! I do wish the tones were more interesting though, because you really spotted a unique find. I think it would work better with some more color, contrast, and a slightly offset crop - but that's just my opinion. Still, solid entry.
this is a rather good photo to work with, actually. the colours could be stronger (saturation) and you could have given it a more dramatic effect should you have played with the curves and layers a little. nice composition!
