The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
I went out this morning seeking inspiration for getting back to ICMs and was granted it! This is the first single frame ICM I have ever liked! First light coming through some other trees kissing this one which is already turning and draped with lichen.
Minor global tonal tweaks in LR, then into PS for a little dodging and burning. Several very small distracting features cloned out. Full frame as shot.
Critique Template
Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
Wow! This is good! Well seen and captured…and processed! The image certainly lives up to its title.
The colours are extraordinarily beautiful. Looking at the image zoomed in, any part or piece of it would make a fine image.
The little movement you have created is something I try not to do because mine turn to crap and end up in the bin. I have more success with long upwards.
I think the movement you used here works to mirror the draping of the branches and lichen. Though, looks like Spanish moss as well. And nice that you moved your camera in a different way then the typical up/down or left/right. ICM really starts to come alive when we try these more complex movements. Well done getting back into it. Keep experimenting and having fun. We will be looking for more!
