Once Upon A Time - C&C Welcome

[fotugraphy]

Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

In this image i wanted to show the sense of the place with long trees, fog, wooden barriers and the human element with umbrella as it was drizzling a bit.

Please provide your views and suggestion with composition and processing. I have added another version with subtle contrast adjustments. Please suggest which one is better. I'm really confused between the two.

Thank You

PS : Please click on the image for lightbox screen view (Highly recommended).



Version 2 : Added more subtle contrast (brighten up background and brought down some mid tones)


Version 3 : Cropped it a little from the bottom as suggested.

This is terrible!

You post only one picture! …terrible! The subject and conditions were, for sure,
worth more exploration. My only recommendation is don't do that again… 1 shot!
This take is perfect in every way in my book… except that it is alone!

Thanks for your kind review and suggestion lol i have a series coming up in future for this with different shots and composition of the same place. I have added one more version in the description with a bit more contrast. Please suggest which one is better as m confused between the two.

Nice capture, very moody and well lit.

Terrific eye, exposure and post-processing! The difference in post-processing results is so subtle that I don't have a preference. Consider cropping at the bottom to halfway between the two lowest logs.

Thanks a lot for your kind review and suggestion. Here is the cropped version as suggested. Really looking good.

Raj, given your title, I really liked the lines, the ethereal nature of your uncropped version the best.

To me, the person gets lost in the fog on the stairs, as it should be.

What was your thinking when you took this image and processed it?

Thanks for your valuable review and appreciation. I always wanted to feel nature and forest's fog is something which just fascinates me. I like to live alone sometimes, so can see in my previous images too I have clicked human element who is alone either observing things or walking.

So, It was an emotional experience for me while processing it too and felt as if M walking in the foggy forest park.

Very nicely captured Raj - I like it a lot.

Thank you for your kind review and appreciation.

I like version 2 because I see a pathway that the person is travelling from mystery into mystery; to take away part of that pathway, is to me taking away the story

[moopy goops]

Really enjoying your photographs, your eye is finely tuned and I like the way you process your shots too. Very well done on all accounts. I hav"followed" you on 500px.
Thanks for sharing !

I like No 1 Best with No 2 a close second. Nice work Raj.

Amazing image Raj, I prefer the uncropped version myself

*2, cropping some of the path takes away some of the mystery for me
