cherriness  05/01/06 @111

what do you mean by "won't load"? I just registered to this site so I guess I could use a little help... <3 Chels

Here is a little help......try this hosting... http://www.imageshack.us/ Welcome to GFX!! I really want to see it.....the thumb looks very nice! Carlos

Byonder  05/01/06 @170

Nice shot. You can't hotlink from dA though, so you should use another host, such as ImageShack, as Carlos suggested, or PhotoBucket. Welcome to GFX

Madanapale  05/01/06 @264

Excellent first submission!....beautiful sky and composition....top marks! I looks like you didn`t resize down the picture to 716 pixels wide....and some part at the right is missing. (Your picture is 801 pixels wide) Did you take several pictures?....because the sky on the Nevada place is different....I like the version posted here better!....good work again! http://www.scenicnevada.org/file/mantle05.jpg Carlos

great first post, I see that it has won prestigous awards, indeed it should! Madanapale, you sure know your stuff, wow.

RobertVovk  05/01/06 @312

This is nice photo, I like both version. My opinion is this is photo where rules of thirds are working, so I would cut at the right, but this is my opinion. Still my top score for you, regards.

OK!...... Impressive pic!!! Like the sepia color! Good compo, like the place and sky.....cool shot!

Madanapale  05/01/06 @635

I see that you fix the size!!.---Good. Carlos

cherriness  05/01/06 @661

Thanks for all the help! The sky was fixed in photoshop with cloud imagery from another photo of mine... Done mostly with cloning and blending. I found the sun to be distracting in the original print. Thanks for all the feedback everyone! <3

coladelight  05/01/06 @676

Well done on the cloning and blending! Thanks for the information Maridol

Madanapale  05/01/06 @700

You did an excellent work cloning and blending the clouds! The image is really superb! I just wonder if acording to the rules of the place this work should be in photomanipulation? Please don`t take me wrong.....I admire the work! And is up to the moderators to decide. Welcome again to GFX and looking forward to see more of your works....You have a very good eye!! Carlos

emarts  05/01/06 @705

It seems to me that the amount of retouching done to this image is minimal and should stay in the Photography section. The intent of this image was to produce a fine photo, not to showcase any retouching skill. For now, it stays put.

Madanapale  05/01/06 @706

Thanks Samson....Agree with you! Carlos

moserArtist  05/01/06 @821

Is this one: http://www.scenicnevada.org/file/mantle05.jpg the original or was that in turn also a "retouch". Just for clarity it would be good if you could post in the additional download section the original from which you have done your "fixes". I really love this post with the magic sky and the entire composition is just brilliant! Welcome also to GFX! If you post compositions of this quality you will be very interesting to follow onwards!

Mihai  05/02/06 @909

Beautiful composition! Love it! And welcome to GFX!

ZedoCaixao  05/03/06 @304
