Artist's Comments

This is a new version of my most popular image on this site, which is here:

I think this new version is FAR superior. By comparison, I find the old version to be flat and fake-looking, with very little tonal variation. The colour balance is all wrong too, way too warm. We don't orbit a red giant!

What do you think? I will almost certainly end up replacing the old one with this one.

Critiques


:iconannaphotix:
You know, it's amazing how difficult it is with greens isn't it? I love both of them; the older one has the golden tones of a late afternoon sun, whilst this one looks much cooler. They are both equally striking and have their individual appeal - maybe one for whichever mood one's in, which possibly suggests I'm dual frame of mind, and is nothing new!!!

Besides the colour differences, in both cases the composition, clarity and sense of being lead on through the scene (accentuated by the receding figure at the end of the visible path), are visually stimulating and very aesthetically pleasing with the lighting falling in just the right places.

Very well done! (I can't think of anything to suggest that could contribute towards improvement.)

I love this image! The only thing that kind of bugs me is that little person off in the distance. It seems so secluded and serene, and then then s/he is. Grrr. But, that's just me. I really do like the colors and the balance between the two areas of brown (tree / path).
