One of things I find remarkable about this image is at base level it has a very visceral power and shifting rhythm all throughout the image...fg, bg, sky...a striking qualities that to me capture and help tell the tale of the Dolomites and the landscape surrounding. It may be one of those images that over time gets tweaked...one time, ten times, one hundred times...I don't know...certainly wouldn't be the first time. But whether it changes or not in varying degrees of contrast, sharpness, etc..at the end of the day... the essentials of a great image are here.
... It seems to be obvious that that kind of over-processing attracts much more people in our world of visual-overkill...
... a worm has to delight the fish but not the angler;-)
And yet you are showing it to anglers
... Also, to me, the subject is the bait, the camera is the pole, and the photograph is the fish.

Say what!? I am now getting positively seasick
Thank you guys for the discussion. Isn't it funny that different ponds need different bait? With the first picture I've got a lot of wows from non-photographers. It seems to be obvious that that kind of over-processing attracts much more people in our world of visual-overkill. I don't want to start the Raberizing-Thread again but have a look at the colorful world of Flickr and 500 px...Anyway - here's the forum which upholds the immortal values of St. Ansel. And back to the bait: a worm has to delight the fish but not the angler;-)HaraldPS: The picture is only about to worship the overwhelming beauty of the Dolomites.
Could some effect I never use ==just looks out of focus in the foreground ..almost like camera shake
Harald, You have it right in the first image. Leave it alone and enjoy!Rich
