SaHdeeQ says:

yes, this could be a wonderful picture, it's really very nice but the quality is poor

buda says:

Lovely, the lowe quality of the picture gives great atmosphere! I like it : )

author says:

I hadn't had my camera with me, so I took it with my old phone. Aside the quality, it is still a Photograph and represents this contest.
Thank you for letting me know your opinions

Shoe, Tree

friiskiwi says:

Great shot, but I'm not sure that the partial de-saturation does much for it.

author says:

Thanks for your feedback. I spent some time tweaking the contrast, exposure and saturation but I found that because it was a bright day , the green foliage behind the tree overwhelmed the shoes with increased saturation. I could selectively de-saturate the foliage but I think that it tinkering too much for this competition.

SaHdeeQ says:

it's a nice picture and i also like the desaturation, in my oppinion it add's some drama.

Heathcliffe says:

I also like the saturation & contrast effect, I think it improves what might be a flatting photo otherwise. One of my top 5 this week, good luck

Heathcliffe says:

Make that top 3 Love it. Good luck !

This is not the original image (the original was kicked) and it's not even the 2nd image (because I removed it). I chose this image (though inferior) to show why the background in the previous two was so dark and the highlights were so white. Although the photo was taken during mid-afternoon, this was the north side of a hill during winter - which is why the ground/ vegetation behind the oaks was so dark - and the winter sun was peeking over the top of the hills just enough to backlight the Spanish moss hanging from the branches - which is why it looks so bright. I only boosted the contrast in post enough to overcome the "equalizing" action of the camera's light meter and return the darks and lights to the way they actually looked in "real life." That is, the background was so dark, it was almost black and the Spanish moss was literally "glowing" hot white. These are the kinds of unusual and exciting light conditions that I should think photographers would literally drool over. At least I did (lol). The downside to capturing such an unusual shot is that people think I've "faked" the lighting in post (sigh). If he were here, I believe that Ansel Adams would have jumped at the chance to photograph a scene like this for the simple fact that he has some similar backlit forest landscapes...
