very cool, i like the mostly square cropping and of course the crazy detail captured on the eyelashes.

Wow. Looks like you have a cat eye. What kind of light did you use?

I used the built-in flash on the camera

Very nice shot. A little dark but nice

Wow! Instant fave. Great work on this one.

The dof is very shallow so it fits the topic perfectly! The light is lovely and sharpness is great too. However, i feel something is missing to make this photo really stand out. I'm not sure but maybe the subject should be closer to the lens?

hard to give critic to this pic, lovely light and shallow DOF..
but like pixistenz said, I feel that something is missing.. I think it's the composition, I would of taken the leafs more to the left but this is only a very small detail..

This picture gives a great sence of autumn..

Great pic everything is there, technically perfect
But that feeling of something missing, in my opinions come from the fact that there is 2 subject apart maybe the insertion of a third would have bring more power or just the green leave touching or even on top partially of the red one would have bring more communion.
Still great work 4.8/5 i love it

The shallow dof is perfect and I do love shallow dof. I find the simplicity of this image wonderful. I think maybe that's what the others are missing...

I think a tighter crop would have helped this shot a little bit.

All freebirds floating in the sky :)
love the feeling of freedom that this picture gives..

Take care..

the birds are flying away... days get colder... winter is coming... this pic catches its sad mood very well!! well done!

great picture! I like the dark sky behind the birds...

this is nice but are you trying to test us,
At less 5 corrections visible to the eyes should be applied
there is 3 dot of water on your lenses
one just on the rigth of the 3 upper left bird
one on the 2 lower left bird, one in the lower bottom
1/3 left of the lower cloud, now 45 degree up the first water drop there a black dot not needed
and finally almost in the upper left center there is a bird with 2 white reflection on is feet.
After corrections sillouette aspect would be great.
Just like your work, so dont stop looking twice before sending it.
Great works from you, migth be just a sligth oversee.

Some minor corrections to be made - all in all a great shot!

Best,
Jon

amazing.

another beauty.. you deffinitely got something with bridges I guess ;)

very dreamy and spooky in a way..

oh sorry, I was wrong..
I forgot that I was watching on the featured bridges page.. so I thought the other bridge picture where yours, sorry :)

nevertheless your other pictures are outstanding ;)

in full swing. good. ml

beautifull, alltought I miss some sharpness!!

I miss too, but it was so dark and i didn´t have my tripod. :)

same comment: miss some sharpness. also I might have liked it better if the sharp area was at the very bottom (begining) of the picture... cause blur before and after is a little confusing to the eye.
but I really like the abstract feeling of this picture :)

Ingrid read my mind, ditto everything she said. If you take what you have here, crop to a square by loosing a little off the bottom, about 2/3 of the out of focus area and crop the top to just loose the bright lights, you will have a very nice composition and the abstract nature of this will be greatly enhanced!! Try it and if you like it, re-post, either here or in "Abstract objects", must MHO.

Hi,

Great shot, but it would be better if something were in focus! Thanks for posting.

thanks a lot :)

Very nice shot !

love it!!
the tones, the movement, the atmosphere..

Creepy and yet cool (in a good way). Like a video game nightmare. I like it!

yes, very good creation! I like the atmosphere. Surreal.

This is a very strange photography. I cant pic out a context. I like it. Was it a flat bed scan?

Great subject with great potential but I think it's a little dark and for the topic the saturation of the red should be cranked up.

like the way the light is playing with these flowers.. lovely colours and composition, there is so much movement in this picture..
lovely!

I'm doing ok.. just recovering from a cold..
here in Belgium autumn has entered the building ;)
wich is ofcours brilliant for us photographers, it's the season of rusty colours and beautiful light..

the picture you've mentioned isn't mine, it's Robin's..
he has a blog here on Vazaar to.. www.vazaar.com/user:Ourlittlehood/

Ourlittlehood.aminus3.com is me and Robin's blog.. we started it a few months ago since we are both so passionate about photography..

but I will ask him to post the pic ;)

btw.. I'm always suprised of you liking my pictures that much, I think you are my biggest fan ;)
thank you for that!! I appreciate your comments a lot.. when I open my blog it's always a big pleasure to read something from you..

take care my friend.. enjoy life!!

Thanks everyone! dreamer: I wish, I'm too poor for analogue anymore, it's digital with some tweaking in Adobe Raw. Having fun with new settings...

I love the dark background Nice.

Thank you to everyone who commented. I am humbly surprised... I always loved this photo, but I didn't think anyone would agree with me. =)

I am also a little surprised that so many people feel the highlights are blown. I'm sure you're right, I just never noticed, and still don't fully understand. It however is a fabulous illustration to me of what I still need to learn. Can someone help me understand? Is it the fact that there are large areas in the clouds that don't retain any detail or is there something else I'm not uderstanding?

And thank you everyone for the input on the vignetting. I'm still exporing different ways to achieve these types of effects and the visions I have in my head don't always suit the photo, or even suit my skill level.

Thanks everyone.

amazing picture. beautiful.

i like the colours and clouds and feeling. could be more space for clouds.

I am in love with this photo, it is the setting of an epic adventure!

A golden masterpiece!

nice one!!
I'm not really a fan of selective saturation but here it works because the tree is the main subject..

love it!!

I agree with you. Thank you. :)

superBBB...

just love it!!!

composition, contrast!!

just perfect!!
