Preston: Being familiar with some of your wonderful work with ancient wood in the past I was anticipating you getting into this challenge and you have certainly not disappointed. This is marvelous and for me the color looks great and natural. Really good eye to see this and absolutely worth any contortions you had to accomplish. Most excellent. >=))>
Excellent rendition here of this juniper, Preston. I especially like the various veins or colors if you will flowing thru the structure. Amazing “hunk” of wood. I could go along with a slight turn down in the glow factor. But as always subjective on that point…
Preston, exposure glare. Nothing to do with items overexposed at all. Just the intensity of the image glare if you will. I find the Gamma works best for me on turning images down, and if they darken too much I lift the Exposure or Offset to compensate. Nothing wrong with the image at all, just a slight taming on the view-ability…
Outstanding work here. Superb textures and details.
Well seen patterns in the wood. It’s so much fun to do photographs of abstract, natural beauty. Well seen and well done
Preston, the mix of warm and cool tones in the wood work very well. The colors look good to me. The details are great. I do wonder about cropping off (or burning-in) the brightest/whitest bits along the bottom
