New Forest Glow
« on: November 20, 2011, 02:30:44 pm »



I'd welcome all comments. We don't get much snow here in the south of England so last winter was special for me.

It's a pretty scene. At the risk of sounding a bore on the topic (perish the thought!), however, I find the three areas of blown highlights grab my attention and won't let go.

The original isn't so badly blown actually, it's the conversion from AdobePro 16bit to sRGB jpeg I think. I see what you mean about distracting though.

Brian, It's a splendid shot. I don't know whether or not you took a look at it in B&W, but I'm not sure which is better. Actually, I like them both.

Russ,
I think the B&W resolves the issue of the "blown-out" looking areas. I much prefer it.

This is really a beautiful work! The colors and hues are a delight and the textures in the snow are marvelous. The “blown” areas aren’t a problem unless one has little else but look for nits to pick rather than enjoy exceptional work.

Were it mine I would maybe remove the row of short posts. But that said it is a delicious piece of art as presented.

I certainly agree that it improves the issue (and, being a great enthusiast for b&w, I prefer it) but I don't think it resolves it. The blown bits still grab my eye.

Tracy, I don't agree that it's nit-picking. I nit-pick my own shots all the time and regard myself as quite an expert in the art of nit-picking: I didn't even have to engage that part of what passes for my brain.
