Challenge: POWER II (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Olympus PEN E-PL3
Lens: Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II
Location: Intersection of Airport Rd & 231 in Huntsville, AL
Date: Oct 8, 2015
Aperture: f/3.5
ISO: ISO-500
Shutter: 1/4000

 Took my dad out to the small field of solar panels our town has and had him pose for me. I was so glad that he was wearing a green shirt. That worked out great for the theme.

I didn't notice that my ISO was set to 500 when I took this. I wish I would have taken it at 200 (the minimum for my camera). But, I still like the result, just a tad noisier than I'd like.

I cropped, cloned, enhanced the color and lighting. I did not do very much sharpening. I think it was pretty good as it was.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique club*

An interesting image that meets the challenge

Power is clearly conveyed through your choice of the solar panels and their inferred generation of electrical power. I like that your father is positioned to allow the rest of the image to be filled with the solar panels but I am not so happy that he is wearing one of 'em! I think it would have worked better if you had him a little more to the right obscuring the building in the background and looking in to the scene towards the panels.

The colour saturation is bordering on being a little too much for my preference but still reasonably acceptable. What is much less desirable are the blown highlights in the clouds they are detrimental to the end result. I don't think you should be too concerned about your high ISO modern cameras such as yours have continued to make significant improvements in the sensor's ability to handle ISO well and at these levels this really shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you for your entry, Sid
