great colors and composition. To avoid the halo, you may be able to create two layers and carefully paint one on top of the other. A bit of an an intensive process but a good way to get rid of noticeable halo.

Beautiful shot! My only thought is I wonder if cropping the top and bottom into more of panorama might help the impact? But it's only MHO. LOVE the colours. Where was that taken?
Pixim (Eric) said 11 months ago:
This shot was taken in Paris, they are "les invalides". Thank you for your comments and your councils.

A well-known buidling but placed in another view (always nice to see that), you did a wonderful job ! The weather helped you in a nice way:-))

Just fantastic.. !
I wonder whether she even saw the posters. Fashion and daily life are often separated worlds.

Very good! i like the fact that she is going down hill (or at least i think she is), that's a great photo

lovely shot,i agree with the comments above,
i think the shot is spectacular enough to be on its own..! no need to frame it...
the circles are a bit distracting...!
augusto (Augusto González) added a critique 7 months ago:
Buena fotografia tipo windows, pero has dejado demasido rastro del tratamiento que le has dado, quedan marcas circulares a los lados del arbol y en las nubes, puede que el biñeteado sea excesivo especialmente en la esquina superior derecha
chefron (Ron Ernst) said 7 months ago:
I reworked this image without the frame...just doesn't have the same impact. Just my thoughts..The circles are a big mistake I made by using too hard a brush, oh well we live and learn. That is just one of the advantages of digital imaging. As long as you keep your orginal image you can always go back and make changes. I looked for many years for this type of image and on a photo trip in Virginia I found it.

I feel that the red line in the frame is the culprit :)
willie_901 (william) added a critique 7 months ago:
The unnatural color of the sky and the flat tone of the hill don't work at all for me.
I do like the composition.

Excellent!

A great composition. The rain drops in the stone are beautiful!!
burlesot (Todd Burleson) added a critique 10 months ago:
Strong emotions are created by this image. I agree that the raindrops make the stone look even more alive.

Wonderful capture - wow. Instant fave.
Best,

Great definition on the pedals though I my attention keeps getting pulled to the background flower. I cannot say enough how striking the foreground flower is. Very nice.
Pixim (Eric) said 8 months ago:
Thank you for your comment Ruben.
@lolly: I thought well that you would like this image, so long ("à bientôt").
Pradeep (Pradeep P) said 8 months ago:
Beautiful!
Perfect detail in the foreground flower. The background flower too looks nice. But my eye wants to see both the flowers at the same time :)

Exquisita nitidez y muy buena luz en la primera flor.
Saludos

I adore these eyes blue, and I am always impressed by this kind of macro. Cheer. So long.

Great DOF, and I love the "expression" on his little face.
jrowe44 said 9 months ago:
WOW! Makes ya think!
Syam said 7 months ago:
How many shots you took to get this perfect one?
MMeye (Martine) said 7 months ago:
Thank you all for your kind comments and votes !
@Syam : can't remember how many shots.. but generally speaking, when I make macro shots, many of them go to the bin.. ;-)

Thank you so much! This is an effect I found on the web. I'm not on my computer, so I can't give you a direct link. But it's very easy: you choose a painting and you mix it with your photo. If you're interested, I'll post a tutorial when I'll be back home.
mikeock (Mike Adams) said 7 months ago:
The tutorial would be greatly appreciated!
philippe (Philippe Reichert) said 7 months ago:
This is a very simple effect:
- you choose a painting you like for its colors. Matisse, Rembrandt, whatever. One I particularly like is "Nighthawks", by Hopper. You download it. The size of the file doesn't really matter.
- open it in PS, then open on top your image.
- go to image-adjustments-match color
- open the painting in source
- play with luminance and color intensity until you are pleased with the result.
Note that the pictures don't match every time, sometimes the result is just good for the trash.
Pixim (Eric) said 7 months ago:
Thank you very much for this tutorial, I will test ;)
KidJim (Jean Marc Veliscek) said 7 months ago:
C'est simplement excellent - à tester d'urgence, c'est clair :))

I like the construction of the photography, and especially the surprising effect obtained on the basis of the electric poles… thanks for sharing .
philippe (Philippe Reichert) said 7 months ago:
The effect comes from the watering. Check this out: same day, same place.

Thanks all. This is a HDR view of the Kebnekaise valley (the characteristic cone shaped Duolbagorni mountain is on the right), in Lappland. The highest mountain of Sweden is just outside of the frame, on the right.
Just for fun, the shots were taken in Lappland, the HDR generated in Göteborg, the tone mapping done in Frankfurt and the final image was published in Lyon :)
flipthom said 9 months ago:
Oh, I remember this one. Beautiful. Congrats.
photoquarium (Lucus Crawford) said 9 months ago:
Stunning colors and a very good HDR, not over the top just enough to bring all the colors and shadows out in the whole shot.
Might have to take a trip to Sweden.
Thanks for the beauty.
TheOldMan (Mel Buckpitt) said 9 months ago:
Excellent use of HDR and an excellent composition as well.
mahones (Chris Mahon) said 7 months ago:
This image is truly wonderful, the composition is fantastic and it makes you wish you were standing there

De Tenerife no, pero si he visitado la isla en julio, y quede encantado con ella. Tambien queriamos sacar una del auditorio con mas luz pero estabamos alojados en el sur y teniamos muchas cosas que ver aun por lo que al final no me fue posible.
Saludos!

Absolutely beautiful work - very mysterious and intriguing work. Love the light and atmosphere you have captured.
Cheers,

Thank you for your opinions, I try to develop with Capture Nx (Nikon) and to use the U-points, I have progress to make (indeed, the halo is too visible)
@Matth Oui ça penche, mais les "invalides" m'ont rendu fou, j'ai l'impression qu'il penche à gauche. Promis j'arrête tout d'ici peu.
Greetings.
