Sunlit Fallow Stag and Repost, as it sould be.
Hi everyone, another image from last Saturday. This one was taken just as the Sun began to light up the brown Bracken, the whole area lit up for what must have been all of a minute or so. All C&C's most welcome.
Regards,
Paul Rosser. :wavey:

The lighting on the buck is very nice Paul although the sunlit area at top left is competing and I would tone that down (somehow?). There appears (to my eye at least) something going on with the oof bracken. Some clumps to the front of the buck and to the foreground look as if they have been 'blurred' out a bit? (or perhaps a bit of cloning out of some unwanted detail?) In particular the clump directly in front looks even more oof than the immediate foreground background and surely that can't be right.

Hi I like this one, but if you take a bit from the top may help the comp a bit.

Lol Robert, thanks for pointing that out, it's easy when you use the Blur tool instead of the eraser!! :biggrin: :rolleyes: . I was tired, thats my excuse :razz: . Here's how it should have looked!

Ps. A bit off the top this time as well.
