Nice shot and perfect use of DOF for the colour. Her sulky mood really sets the scene.

Almost surreal. Such a great subject - what a find!

Thanks for all the comments.

And thank you Alira for reminding me to write down where my pictures where taken. I have written a comment on all my previously posted picture and will try to remember to write it down each time I post a new one :-)

love it - very intriguing and surreal - really holds the interest of the viewer!

I love all the yellow!. Her boots blend in! LoL Makes it seem kind of like she's floating. The house and cars in the background is a bit distracting but that's just my opinion. I like how you've framed this, the size of the tree compared to the size of the girl. Very nice!

Nice colour and composition. Like the suggestion above, would help to shoot in a lower aperature (f8) to really draw attention to the foreground (background will be blurred) but not blur too much of the tree when you focus on the person. The only other thing would be to bring the yellow up a bit, it's a little flat...but that could be because it's on the internet and the colour range isn't great on the web.

Great work and great idea! Hope this helps.

This is a lovely shot. For me, it's a bit flat and lacks punch. I would dial in some color temp. and crop a little tighter. Thanks for sharing this one.

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.

Another feature! Congrats, this is a great shot.

matt

Great shot!

Really nice!! One time I really don't mind a contrail, here it actually adds to the image. I usually hate them. Nice work!!

Preciosa.

Beautiful reflection!!

Impresionante la nitidez y el reflejo Manolo, me gusta mucho como el arco del puente enmarca y lleva la mirada hasta, Juan Carlos?

Bonito encuadre. Felicidades.

This shot has wonderful depth of interest right across the frame. Very strong composition that is wonderfully presented. Well done.

I really like two pics! I love the depth on both!

Good job.

I agree with DCR, a little more contrast to bring out the light streaks, wonderful capture though!!!

respect, 3rd feature for nearly the same shot. Is there a bug? ;)

however - I like the picture, good work

I like both versions, but think this is the better of the two. Nice work...and impressive determination to keep working with the same image. I've always thought that working on the same photo is a real learning opportunity. In this case, I learned something too. Well done IMHO.

What's wrong with people? I have to laugh when I see images such as this voted in for topics like SNOW. Where is the SNOW???!!! Happy Christmas you bunch of loonies.

Look way way way in the back.....

It is a great shot, but it's not what you think of for the category 'Snow'...but still nice job. Merry Xmas.

matt

Greenpixels, you have a lovely photo, with good dynamics and great color but I would not have voted for this picture in the snow topic. In "Backlight" yes, but not snow.

thanks for all the comments anyway. it's very nice to receive the critics.

I love the picture no matter what topic it was in. It's the kind of shot that takes you to another place. Good work.

Amazing!

matt

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
