On Tuesday, this giant glowing orb thing appeared in the sky. We were all a'skeerd, for we knew not what it was! After work, I jumped into my car, and drove around trying to find a good place to capture a picture of this orb, to document the occasion. A gentleman was out walking his large, well-fed dog, and they happened to be in the frame. The dog, however, is slightly below the horizon of the ground (it's a slight hill) and with his legs cut off like that, reminded me of a giant anteater. Hence, the title.
And yes, there are power lines. I was unsuccessful in getting them removed before the giant orb thing disappeared from view...
Duplicate layer in soft light blending mode and removed a lime green disk (possibly a UFO but most likely lens flare).
I like the extra stuff in the landscape but I'll critique your cropping... ;) Lose the bottom third to put more emphasis on the trees/man/anteater. Kinda like the "rule" of thirds but not really!
The scary glowing orb is nicely positioned between the trees. Such remarkable presence of mind you have to wait till it was framed before shooting the apparition. And, did it come back? It might, you know =:-O
brilliant shot deb and i loved reading your write-up ... that giant glowing orb sure does look scarey .lol.!! .. and yet that guy with the anteater seems amazing cool .. well that's from a distance of course and him being a silhouette and all .. now when i look closer it appears that the man might be running .?. altho its hard to tell with the anteater seeing i cant see his legs .. !!
considering these terrifying conditions it's amazing that you were able to capture such a stunning photograph .. the colours are beautiful .. i dont mind the power lines .. they're real .. :)x
