Wow, is this ever over-processed. Too bad too, cuz it looks like a pretty cool place.

Wonderful image. Maybe just a little bit too contrasty, but it really does add to the drama of this image. I really like the composition and the mood of this.

The sky is so bold it looks like a painting. The various hues of the earth(?) are captivating. The other photogs provide a touch of humanity and even humor. This shot has it all. Great job.

Amazing colors and sky. I would really love this shot without the people in the foreground. Don't get me wrong, I love it anyway, but if I was going to buy it I'd want it without the people. The one all the way in the back adds a lot of character though. He's far away enough not to be a distraction to all the natural beauty. Great job!

wow - a Masterpiece! I love the sharpness overall - only seems too sharp in the one wave upper right. Great water action! The textures on the ground are outstanding. Nice rich color tones. I like that the shadows fall in front of the people. Had the sun been in front of them they would have not had the nice shadows providing even more texture and contrast.

Oversharpen,overburned and too much contrast.
01/19/2006 03:58:23 PM
crazy. it looks as if this shot were painted. it's a cool effect but i can't say that i adore it. i'm sure you had a vision or a reason for doing it this way. 7

Not sure what I'm looking at, but I like the contrasting colors.

Perfect for a magazine cover. I really love the editing you did on this piece.

Like the textures and patterns throughout this photo. Personally, I think the person in the background is a good addition because it adds to the perspective of how large the landscape is.

It's a shame but the image looks way overprocessed.. imo, it's ruining a very good capture.

I like photos of people taking pictures of the photographer. Amazing sky and great colors.

Could you ask your friends to step out of the image and leave the landscape and the lonely guy up on the ridge? It would, of course be a differnt image. I find it disconcerting that I can't figure out what the people are doing and that detracts from the imapct the scene should have. It SHOULD be a 10 but because they make me stare at them instead of admiring the scene it might be a nine. Are they taking pictures of you taking pictures of them? Does she have a teddy bear in her arms? Is it a little dog? Is she even a she? I am forgetting to look at the spectacular clouds, the wonderful contrasts of textures, the subtle colors, the patterns of the earth. Does he have a camera also? or a gun? You see how distracting it is?

It's so oversharp that i can't pic a subject to focus on.
01/16/2006 08:09:39 AM
Your image has a strange embossed look, as if possibly oversharpened, but weirdness of the effect makes this a striking photo!

It seems a bit over sharpened to me, like the radius in USM was too large, but still a nice photo. I would have liked more space on the right to get a glimpse of what the photographers are taking pics of :)

Nice color and I guess somewhat a lot of photoshop!
