I do not know the results at the moment, but I do not really thing that I'm going to win.

some other photos shoot during the search for a single tree

The "single trees" look like they were taken on a camera phone.

why?

[skam]

[QUOTE=The golden;16962595]They're noisy, not edited properly, and I can see dirt on your lens.

The composition is nice however.[/QUOTE]

sorry, but I am unable to see any noise or any dirt - could you be more specific?
Furthermore, there not edited in any way.

there was a great light that day in the forest

[QUOTE=The golden;16962779]For starters, put up some bigger pictures, and you'll see what I'm talking about.[/QUOTE]

fuck you're right with the dirt

I'd use levels and bring in the blacks, make the grass and tree a complete silhouette.

Thanks, I will look into it.

What camera d'you use? Seem's pretty decent.

[Maloof?]

Could you please put up a larger version of the grass/birds one? I'd love to use it as a wallpaper (1680x1050).
