Description
In The EveningI couldn\'t sleep, to damn hot, so I figured I would get up and process some of the shots I took last night at Washington Park in Denver of the sunset. This is one of those shots. Quite a gorgeous evening last night, a lot of people out, heck even had a Bagpipe band. I would have stayed longer if I hadn\'t been sick lol Thoughts welcomed and print to come!
Shot info:
Minolta 5D
Minolta 18-200 DT Lens
Dynatran 8180 Tripod
Singh-Ray CPL
Raw Processed and put thru HDR in Photomatix

Hmmm this is a tough one... Normally I love the tones you get in your photos, they look so intense but without losing naturality....
I think this one looks over edited, too many colors everywhere, doesn't feel "right".

lol well. ......on that note I gotta say, you are a lone wolf on that! Welcome to my most popular image to date in such little amt of time lol I know what yer sayin though, I think what it MAY be is the saturation in the grass, the sky is pretty much dead on. Other than that, it is really realistic

Well, what can I say... I didn't think popularity was your main goal

lol nawwww it ain't but every now and then it is kinda nice. So what ya think? I think it could be the grass or the road, the greens kinda throw it into overdrive a lil, and the road, though it does match the clouds, is pretty heavy at the bottom. idk, my personal opinion is this----
I shot about 100 shots, and this is one of the only ones from this angle where the road can be seen, after this shot I moved closer to the other side of the road. The issue I have with this myself is that the road and the grass curve from what looks like barrel distortion of a wide angle, but it isn't. The road actually does curve there. However Iwish it was straight cuz it gives it a tad of funkyness. Know what I mean????
Oh btw, I have something for you. Check THIS out.

I know that popularity is encouraging sometimes, I didn't mean that as an offense
On the other side, talking about the photo, to be honest I don't like it as most of your work (because you know I'm a fan, right? 
Now, analyzing it further I think another reason for me to not like it that much is that I think it lacks one of those great compositions you always create. Seems to me -ALTHOUGH I KNOW IT'S NOT THE CASE- just one snapshot that someone just took while driving and when at home he/she just said "let's photoshop the crap out of this photo and upload it"... i get that kinda feeling from it.
Hope you don't mind a little critique from someone that respects A LOT your work
P.S. I checked the link you gave me... but wasn't sure exactly what you wanted to show me :blushed:

Really!?!??! Ok that is just scary, lol The composition, hmm maybe, which I spose could relate to the road itself at the bottom, I ALMOST took that outta there but when I went ahead and cropped it, it looked like it was missing something, and was rather unweighted. Hmmm idk, strange.
Oh no offense taken at all

I don't like this one a lot, can't say exactly why. I love the yellow/red hues on the middle of the image, but when I look at the bottom of the picture, there's something I don't like.
Think this one's the only picture from you I don't like.

lol well honestly you are one of teh very few who appears that they don't. I am gonna take a guess here and say that it very well could be the saturation or the color itself in the grass in the foreground. I actually went in and toned it down some. It is heavy in contrast though, but it is also really lifelike.

yeah I know, I've read some other comments before and go like "I must be out of my mind" and look at it again.
(sorry, I tried to write down what I don't like about it, but it's really hard for me to write it in english)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol it's ok, if you can figure out what you don't like about it though, please do as I would love to know what it is that bothers you and what you feel is 'off' in the shot. Always open to suggestions!
