    great shot - but I would probably get rid of the telephone poles - they seem to be a distraction -at least to
    me

    I really like your desert shots, Eia, and this one's no exception. I agree with Marcy about the poles though.

    Oh wow! :wow What a scene, Eia. I think this is your best one yet. clap.gif


    Personally, I would add just a little bit of a curve to it in post to give it a bit of extra pop. See here, that's all I did to it. http://jmgphoto.smugmug.com/photos/660828746_YcCNS-O.jpg

    Really cool shot. I like the composition and the photo really conveys that lonely, out in the middle of nowhere feeling.
    I agree with Joel in that it looks a bit flat and I think his edit is pretty good.

    Now that made it pop - Wow and thanks Joel. I did give it some curve and was fearful it was getting too much but now that I see it through your work I will give it a go again!

    Great shot Eia. Super color and nice perspective. I also like the telephone pole. It adds something to the scene. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it creates depth somehow . . .

    Thanks Marcy, I thought about cloning out the poles - but I'm not sure, I rather think they add to the scene as odd as that probably sounds. :D I'll play around with that and I appreciate the suggestion!!!

    You might try giving it some selective contrast/pop in the lower left quadrant. That is the only part of the photo that seems a bit flat.

    Great shot Eia. I really like it. thumb.gifthumb.gif
