I love the rich colors and interesting surfaces. I didn't believe that a digital camera could capture an image like this till I saw some on the WWW. Now I have one of my own. The 11M tiff looks much better, but I thought it best to display the resized and compressed image here. Used sharpening and removed a distracting light in the background. Hooray for Photoshop (elements).

Beautiful shot, Paul. I'm going to star eyeing palms a little closer.

The only thing I would do differently is to crop a bit off the top so that the left frond (or whatever it's called) at the very top left doesn't stop in the picture but visually continues on out of the frame, i.e. crop it just below where it now ends.

Whatever you do, it's lovely.

Very nice photo! With my Trinitron 21" (optimized) I can just make out detail in the heavy shadows! I was initially going to complain about them being a bit too dark, but now I can see something there. I personally may have reduced the contrast of this image just a tad, but no biggee.

My major concern is the green pixel located at mid right, approximately 50% from top of image, 93% from left (quite close to the right hand edge). It is in the dark shadow, and reminds me of my dead pixel problems. Inquiring minds wish to know...

Please show us more photos,
cheers

Thanks for the posts. I like pics with texture. Great suggestion to crop before end of frond. Wouldn't have seen that one. Like looking at faults in own children. Neighbors can see them easier than you can...

The Green Spot. Is a bounce of light ( lens flare?) I fixed the source of light, fixed the one you saw, but must have posted the image between the two edits. Good eye. Nice to know someone is looking at your shots.


have posted unedited, but greatly compressed jpeg to show source of green spot as well as spot.

The pic was taken on my back patio. The palm is lit from below. Behind the palm is a large open field. A light in the far distance is the source. The compression killed the color in the spot, but the spot is still there.
