Another shot from our Kiama trip - a different perspective?

very good perspective......... but a tight crop would be a better image as the OOF area does not add a lot to an interesting shot........

Sure, loads of CA, don't see that everyday! :lol: The image works despite this though, and as BP says, cropping out the OOF foreground would be good. Might want to work the highlights in the bark over too, maybe pull the EV back by a stop then bring out the shadows with D-lighting or similar + colour boost. Overall thumbs up from me though, like the concept!

Great perspective in this shot.
Well spotted opportunity.
Its good to see another photographer sticking there head in weird places at weird angles.
I would try cropping the top third off the shot, just where the first big shadow around the trunk starts.
But still keep the original width.
I think the oof bottom of the image will help in the composition.
Just my idea.

Ta! Funny, I PP'd on the CRT, then on the LCD's the bark in parts look blown out...go figure !!?!? :)

Now that is interesting. My first post was from my laptop (LCD); just checked on my (calibrated) CRT and the highlights look fine! :roll:

1. Like the shot a lot

2. My LCD is always brighter than my monitor since windoze only supports 1 colour profile and I have the one for my CRT loaded since that's where I look at stuff during PP

This image has a very charming perspective and lots of intruiging aspects to it, did you turn into some kind of bug and take this picture?
