Challenge: Beauty (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S50
Location: Crabtree Falls, Virginia
Date: May 29, 2005
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/250
Galleries: Landscape
Date Uploaded: May 29, 2005

Taken in raw and converted to jpeg, then given the star treatment with BradP's action for USM, a filter to give it that funky glow, some hue/sat adjustments, a crop and a resize.

It was a great day at a great day to go for a quick hike. If you happen to be between Lynchburg, VA and Charlottesville, VA, I strongly recommend it.

Later.

Very beautiful place. I like this image it is just too softly focused for my taste. 5

WOW! That'll do for the challenge! You could have cloned that guy out, y'know, and a little overexposed in parts, but lovely composition and beautiful subject.

Would be a 9 but you lost a couple of points for the (damn) guy in the background and the slight overexposure.

7 :)

G'luck!

I like the sense of tonality in the shade areas of this image, but I feel that the highlight areas are too far blown out for the viewer's comfort: it seems to have been exposed directly for the shade, and to hell with the highlights - I think you would get more detail and an image easier on the eye by starting from a more compromise exposure, and working it up from there. Of course, if this is what you envisaged, then I just don't get it, huh?

I don't know the relationship between you and the man in the picture but I think that it would be better if he wasn't in there. maybe a different angle where the broken trunk in the front is gone too...not bad though! :)

I like the softness of it. It's to bad the man is standing there

I think the person pulls from the shot. But the scene is very beautiful. 5

Beautifully displayed scenery and the soft blur perhaps fits the occasion but wasn't really necessary, the pink blooms made this image very special..

This would have been better without the person in the shot.

Should have cloned out the stray guy.
