Title: Icicle.
Post by: thierrylegros396 on February 09, 2015, 03:20:34 pm

I didn't post that one because I was not satisfied.

So I re-processed it and now it seems to be really better.

Don't hesitate if you've ideas to further improve it.

Hope you'll enjoy.

I like the processing in this one a lot.
I might be tempted to crop out the right hand part, which seems to me to distract a bit from the excellent center section.

I agree.  The branch on the right side is a bit distracting.  The light on/in the main ice bit is very nice.

Maybe a square crop? I also find that the branch is distracting. I would either crop or clone it out. I feel like this photo is worth spending a few minutes of PP.

I've tested 4/3 , 4/5, 3/2, 3/4, 5/4 crops but I'm not satisfied.

It seems to lack something, or the main Icicle is to much off-centered.

So I've zoomed more and cloned the branche, but kept part of the right Icicle.

Have a Nice Day.

I like those 'starbursts' of light reflecting off the ice, and agree about cropping. Have you tried just centralizing and focusing on the main ice form (cropping left, right, and bottom)?
