February 2012 - Meditation
How I did it:
This was shot at F 6.3 to capture the meditating monk with sharpness and blur the background without losing it all together. I felt that a portriat with closed eyes needed context of the surroundings or it wouldn't work.
I selected the monk and robes and brightened just a bit. Then I inversed my selection and gave the background the slightest decrease in saturation to blunt distractions.
COMMENTS:
Administrator "Food for Thought" as you make your comments:
These come from the PSA Image Analysis course, Creativity & originality, Lighting, Dimension/Perspective, Impact. How does the image make you feel? Noise and /or Grain, Focus, depth of field, Tonal range, Image Balance, Composition, Line, eye movement, Exposure, Do the elements within the frame feel comfortable. Also from the course are these suggestions; Split your comments in two, 1) Describe as many elements as you can that are done well, and why. If you have a comment you should have a reason. 2) Describe as many elements as you can that need help, and why. If you have a comment you should have a reason. If you have a fix for the problem say it here. This is where you help the maker and don't hesitate to send a small image of what you consider to be an improvement of the image.

Like all of us, I am passionate about photography. I started taking photos with my first SLR in the early 70's. In the 80's, my focus was on underwater photography.
I was an early advocate of digital cameras and embraced the digital darkroom as well. I love the enhanced creativity digital allows.
My husband and I moved back to Boise two years ago and joined the Boise Camera Club. I can't say enough positive things about the value of being associated with and critiqued by such a talented group of people.
I am new to PSA and look forward to sharing and learning as I continue to grow in this ever expanding process of "making photographs". |
