this was taken the same time as my shot that is somewhat sucking in rhythm now at Little Missouri Falls in Northern Arkansas.
PP : extremely minimal, raw conversion, imagenomic noiseware professional, and curves. then resized, canvas resize to add a black border, and save for web.
==================================
apparently i didn't notice the word extreme :D

yeah, i completely screwed this one, but i love the shot.
ya live ya learn. i have to get better at symbolism, and portraying it in my photos in these types of challenges.
thanks for all the great comments. they all mean a lot to me, every last one of them.
sorry for the one day in the forumns when i was a jerk for a post griping, the time taken to open my eyes on this one is greatly appreciated. i had a bad day :D
I know you have probably recieved many comments on how this does not meet the challenge. I think it is a good photo and I'm sure he was feeling emotion being secluded with nature and his camera- The only problem is the viewer does not feel it. Hope this helps.
Wow, beautiful scenery! My only recommendation would be to crop a bit off the top...particularly in this case because the sky is rather dull, I don't feel as though it adds anything to the shot.
This is a beautiful shot, however, what is extremely emotive about it? Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand. I'll have to come back after the challenge is over to see if there's any enlightening details. :)
The photo is nicely put together. Well focused and overall composed with the main subject positioned in an engaging manner. You wouldn't have lost anything to crop this some off the top to lose the washed out sky. Actually I think it would improve the photo by eliminating that bright distraction. JMO of course. :)
A very calming image but I don't find this personally an extreme emotion. I like the color in the photo from what appears to be a foggy day. a nice Dof field also helps with the seclusion you were trying to exude.
