Challenge: Masks (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Sony DSLR-A100

Location: Arizona
Date: May 26, 2008

Date Uploaded: May 26, 2008

 This photo was taken at work, I'm in the picture(used a remote shutter in my right hand hidden behind the ladder).
I used my Sony A-100 with a Minolta 50mm 1.7 prime lens. F5 ISO 400. Processed HDR in Photomatix, then burned edges and around eyes in CS3.

This will be my second challenge, hoping for about a 6.0

Any constructive critism would be appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Fine job on the photo--Feels fairly heavy on the processing but the processings also gives it a gritty, smoky feel. Not sure there is anything I could suggest to improve. Maybe one thing... Did you try cropping off the top 1" or so? I'm not sure it adds to the photo, at least in the context of this particular challenge.

I had the same idea then went with something else. This is much better than what I had in mind. Good use of color and tone
