Excellent shot. The fluffy white clouds and plants really do say peace and quiet to me.

Greetings from the Critique Club Judi!

Well, I really don't know what I'm supposed to say here. Your top ten finish really says a lot :D

The composition is great. The wide depth of field is what this shot needed and you pulled it off nicely. The blurred foreground tree is a bit distracting. The ones off to the right really don't come into play for me so their blur doesn't really bother here.

What would've made it score higher? Probably if more parents voted lol. Until a couple of weeks ago I couldn't have understood it the way I do now. It doesn't seem like too much of an indulgence to the average person but I think parents understand it perfectly!

Overall a wonderful image!

Thanks for the opportunity to critique this shot Judi.

Cheers - Phil

The cropped tree at the bottom bothers the composition a bit. Would be stronger if you panned a bit lower. Still, IR shots are always nice.

I love this photo for its beauty and serenity. Whether it depicts 'indulgence' or rather an 'escapism' is another story...

wow, that really cool

I like the photo. It doesn't scream indulgence, but it's well done, nice colors--I love the infrared.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great capture. I would try a slight zoom-in to add some "weight" to the indulging subject.

Blurry trees in foreground detract from serenity of scene.

is that snow? would have worked for me better if the guy was wrapped in a warm blanket!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/17/2006 09:29:39 AM
wow, very nice. the colors are a little strange, though... was this on purpose?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/17/2006 07:42:33 AM
WOW, I have to try this someday. Of course, it will never in a million years be as beautiful as this, but one can hope.

Someone is overindulging with the IR.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/17/2006 01:10:03 AM
dude this is psychedelic--i respect!

I love looking at this image...maybe just a little bit more color would add some more oomph, but I realy love it. added to favorites.

 06/16/2006 05:29:23 AM
gorgeous!
a little more emphasis on the person would've been better though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/16/2006 01:08:10 AM
Wow. This one is just awesome. I like the use of selective desat. This one should do well!

Do you always read your paper in the middle of nowhere?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/15/2006 08:03:57 PM
Having children, I know the feeling. One can only appreciate it at that time in ones life.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Brilliant - this is very relaxing and feels like a Sunday. I like how the clouds mirror the trees and the deep blue is just the right touch. 9

i like the tones in this!

I am such a sucker for these IR photos. I know that some people think they get old, but not IMHO. I like the clouds, but wish there was just a tad but more blue sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/15/2006 09:19:56 AM
Wow, I like this! Infrared, right? Really gives it pop.

I love this.....

 06/14/2006 11:58:39 PM
nice infrared! This is a great shot, but it feels like the title is needed to really see what the indulgence is about!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/14/2006 11:57:31 PM
Same effect as in Shadows III.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/14/2006 04:26:42 PM
IR okay. Composition good. DOF and POV good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/14/2006 11:25:01 AM
Strong photo, but without your title it's hard to see the challenge topic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/14/2006 08:28:27 AM
Aaah, nice shot. How did you make it?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 06/14/2006 12:29:23 AM
Great picture! Love the selective desaturation... unfortunately, this relies too much on the title to be relevant to the challenge.
