some areas blown out, sky would have been great, it alread is interesteing. Also blotches of color in this why? Nice compostition with the windmill.

good color

This is an interesting shot. In a digital art category I would score this quite high. I won't score it quite as high in a photography category but I do think it has some artistic merit that isn't normally associated with normal photography.

Too much post processing takes away from a greatly composed picture.

Interesting shot. A little too much contrast for my taste, but otherwise nicely done.
04/17/2003 05:59:27 PM
the sky looks too overprocessed to be natural, but I do like the silhouettes you captured!
04/17/2003 01:52:41 PM
I really love the colors for this one. Nice use of grain and color.
04/17/2003 01:44:40 PM
seems too dark and the saturation and hue seems to have been pushed a little too much, nice composition though.
04/17/2003 01:44:12 PM
good job. nice pic.
04/15/2003 11:11:49 PM
Nice job! The idea of a windmill is really good! How could you get such colors?

This has a real spooky feeling to it. Seems like it should advertise some sort of horror movie. I'm not a real fan of color distortion, but this gives it emotion with the backlit windmill and tree. There is a lot of artifact, though, that distracts some.

nice sharp image, good work
04/15/2003 02:19:10 PM
Interesting choice of colour and grain. Nice sharp silowetsilhouette.
04/15/2003 07:48:30 AM
you've tweaked the clouds a bit too much for my taste.
04/15/2003 07:37:20 AM
Whoa - talk about strong. Nice work but I think you pushed the colours a little too much. Nice framing though. 8 - floyd

Wow the sky is terrible. What happened?
04/14/2003 05:42:51 PM
I really like the composition of this, and the silhouetted shapes, but the sky does absolutely nothing for me. Shame, a more natural sky would have scored much better.
04/14/2003 05:24:38 PM
Great shot... Dark here works well!
04/14/2003 03:43:31 PM
A little over the top with the photoshop filters, spoilt it a bit but well composed.6
04/14/2003 01:32:13 PM
Well done composition, but IMHO you overdid the postprocessing...
04/14/2003 09:35:38 AM
I love it! There is some graininess in it but for me it works - 10.
04/14/2003 02:49:43 AM
The backlighting is nice but the colors seem oversaturated.
04/14/2003 01:00:55 AM
Besides the noise this is a winner in my eyes!! Nice clours in the sky, and the composition..
04/14/2003 12:39:23 AM
Great post-processing!
04/14/2003 12:17:13 AM
I like the silhouettes and the composition, but the sky seems a little unnatural and overly processed causing it to distract some from the scene.
