Feedback Please
Give me some candid feedback on this shot as an artistic rendition. I know it is not a typical realistic wildlife photo, but I did not intend it to be.

Thanks

Well, I kept revisiting your image trying to decide what to say. I guess I'm so oriented to the look of "real life" I was at a loss for words.

Having said that, I really like the composition and framing as well as the image itself. I guess I would prefer just a tad more saturation, it's just a wee bit too "pastelly" for my taste.

It would make an awesome wall hanging as well a terriffic greeting card. Maybe even a motivational poster..."Don't Turn Your Back On A Problem Employee".

Bottom line...I like it.

Have fun,

Phil

Thanks Phil for responding. It certainly is unlike anything I have ever done, but I really like it, and I was curious what others thought (even if they said it sucked). Since no one responded I assumed nobody liked it or understood it. I was trying for a Chinese/Asian 'delicate' look.

In any event I very much appreciate your feedback.

Well I'm glad someone appreciates this image Gale.

I use Aperture as a PP tool and essentially what I did was:

1. Reduce the saturation significantly
2. Reduce the midpoint contrast significantly

No big deal. Thanks for commenting Gale.

IT SUCKS!!!

Happy now?:D

Could you link a larger version?

I like the effect but I'm not crazy about the comp. You have too much foreground. I could see keeping the foreground if the reflections were more interesting but that's not so in this image.
