Challenge: Motivational Poster II (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED
Location: England
Date: Sep 2, 2007
Date Uploaded: Sep 2, 2007

 Poor Izaak had to jump of this hay a few times and as a punishment for my slow shutter finger, I promised that I would jump off it afterwards (pics to follow)

Photomatix single jpg, open in PSCSII lucisarts, took the reds out a bit, duplicate layer, curves and then set layer opacity to get the clouds dark and nice, layer mask on the duplicate layer with a black pen to bring back parts I wanted from the underlying layer, gradiant fill layer, cropped, noise ninja, add border and text, submit.


After my disaster in the expert editing free study I was a bit worried about submitting another 'fantasy' look entry for motivational.. But I'm a stubborn type of guy and only submit an image if I like it no matter what the score is. I am just thinking about guessing the score on this one so I will aim low and hope for a high (if that makes sense)

Est score. - 6.0
dream score - 6.9

A very good capture, but strikes me as oversharpened and a tad overprocessed.

Dramatic sky, love the colour of the hay, hate the halo around the guy.

a little to much PP for this shot IMO

I'm really not a fan of the post processing here. Especially the black clouds and halo'ing around that guy.

This is a very nice design! The image has a sort of over-processed look.

Definitely a great inspirational set up. Original quote? Very nice. The only nitpick I have is the dodge and burn around your subject and sky. I suspect it's intentional, and that's ok, it's just not for me I'm afraid.

OK, how the heck did you do that? Great detail, cloud formation, texture, coloring. I don't really understand the meaning, but I'm rating high on the photograph. 8
