Where are the rest of the 2000? you only have 5 images and only one from France!

I only put up one. I am not quite that fast with my post processing :). Just trying to get any feedback with the one I put up so far.

Seeing that one, I am definitely looking forward to seeing some of the others!

Did you have a good time? Was it all you expected it to be?

Chris,

Nice image, but seems a bit flat/dark/off color to me. I might work on it and see if a little of brightness/contrast would help it. You can send it to me and I'll play with it, if you like,

send me a private email and I'll send you an address to download it,

Rich

It was an unbelievable trip. It is just such a beautiful place, especially in the South of France. I hope to have more photos up by tonight!

In the one image you posted, I first sense pleasing harmony in its composition. I will have to study it a bit to say why I might be sensing this.

Maybe I'll come back later with details.

BOTTOM LINE: I like it.

Rich F. is probably onto something about the lighting too. Maybe a bump in contrast or some play with curves might give it a little more of what it already has.

Again we differ. I love it just the way it is.

Abbie and Robert, thank you very much!

Rich, thanks for the invitation. I will shoot you an email shortly.

I would love to see the before and after adjustment images, I think I side with Robert and look forward to seeing for sure. Nonetheless, it's a lovely, interesting, nicely composed image.

Chris,

As I mentioned earlier, a good image and just needs a bit of a "tweak", nothing more. The ability to make subtle adjustments, is really the difference from a good image to a great image! When you capture an image. it's either the camera's software correcting things for you or YOU correcting the capture! That simple.

@Alfred, I put up 9 more! @Rich, I got swamped and then had no wifi but I cropped and tweaked the photo and put it up on my profile. When I have better wifi I am going to send you the photo still :) Hope you guys like it!

i rated the first one by mail

Photography Prints
this is a very pretty shot, but i would remove the towers on the right

Art Prints
however many of these images don't suggest where you are. this can be any place. this image is just a brown building. there isn't anything particularly interesting about it.

Sell Art Online
the only thing in here that says where you are, is that chunk of building on the left. it would look better if you could have gotten more of that building. that one building on the right, doesn't fit into the comp.

Art Prints
this is tilting, and again, this can be anywhere. i'd get out of the parking lot though, the cars don't add much. they may a 100 years from now, but as art it falls into the snapshot category.

Art Prints
this kind of shot says france to me more. though... i would not use that sepia wash. makes it look dull.

Art Prints
the tags don't mention grapes at all. the field is good, the sky is boring. i'd have more crops, maybe from a lower angle.

Art Prints
i guess this is the tighter version of the one you sent me. i'd rather see more of the land on the left. a zoom in the camera is what meant. now the image is smaller. the brightness does help, but its tilted.

Art Prints
this leans a bit as well. i'm not sure why there is a wash on this. the tint doesn't make it work better. it reduces contrast and colors. as a composition, its not really that interesting.
