Splendid lighting and atmosphere!


I hope you don't mind some observations –I find my eye wandering out of frame at the left side, so perhaps a little burning in there and the branch intruding at top right is distracting, but your main subject is magnificent, well seen!

Thanks for the Input!

Yes the Top Right Branch is very prominent unfortunately, I had to act quickly due to the conditions and didn't want to change to much digitally. If I end up making a print, I may remove it.
On this image no dodging and burning was performed, but of ourse it could use some.

I kept the foreground dark deliberately as there is not much interesting going on there, but now the image is very top heavy... give and take ;-) (also as its a medium format contest, i didn't want to crop the original framing, even though this image would benefit from it.

Thanks again!

One of the difficulties of working with the sun in the image is the need to work very swiftly and in a very limited location.
You did really great on this one.
As noted, some post processing could help, but it is already a great image.
