 The post processing was pretty simple really. The main bit really was done using filters. Polariser and gradient neutral density.

from raw I booted up the shadow contrast. Warmed up the white balance.

in photoshop I burnt the grass a bit and me. Boosted saturation.

Okay, I'm going to hold out and see if we don't get a couple of disqualifications. If not, then I guess I'll need a list... ;-) Very nice setup, Alex, and excellent processing.

A bit overprocessed for my taste but I'm sure the voters here like it.

Great concept, but I have a couple of problems with it. I don't like how the shadows are going in two different directions. The guy in the photo looks overprocessed.

Not realy keen on this type of editing, the composition is great and the green to yellow colours are good as well. Goodluck

I like the dynamics between the man and the tree. They contrast with eachother, but work together as well.

The most striking thing here is the colours and the post processing. doesn't seem particularly natural, but it is effective. the kind of halo thing around his head is a little strange, and his clothing is at odds with the environment - a little too Gap, and possibly a bit too air brushed / neat imaged.

the location is startingly captured; i love the grass dotted with daisies, the tree is very nice and provides a great focal point, and the composition overall is spiffing. the sky, albeit dynamic, seems a bit pink and fluffy, thereby reducing the ominous potential a tad...

a strange but appealing image.

My First Weighted Scoring System ™; composition + technical 2.5/3, challenge 1/1, post processing results 1.5/2, ooooh factor 3/3, originality 1/1 = 9

Nice crop, nice angle. The sky looks fantastic & nice exposure on the grass.


Pity about the gay looking bloke in the foreground, totally spoils it for me. 8
