general comments, processing
what do you think about the lower corners? Too dark, OK, other?

Thanks

Congrats on the 20k posts, that is a TON!

Really great capture to land on as well!

Huge amounts of pop and contrast. Great sharpness and the lighting is nice.

I might be seeing some noise, though. I know the 7D is notorious for being unable to be pushed in terms of ISO, but 400 isn't crazy at all - did you push this in post a bit?

My other nit would be the lower portion where feet meet branch. I know that isn't the main focal point, but it would be nice to have a bit more down there.

Lovely shot and it's been great having you post!

Cheers and here's to another 20,000 from ya!

Jeff

Very nice tonal transitions. Might play with the bg value a bit to lighten or grad it just a smidgen ... that's a lot of black mass. Just a thought ... or not.

Congrats on 20K.

20,000 posts is SICK! As my wife reminded me. But it's a good addiction, I tell her. Really!
Thanks for the tweaking suggestions. Probably a bit of noisy stuff from the processing. I have reprocessed (not posted) with your suggestions in mind Jeff.

Just remind her that you only average about 4.4 posts a day.

That is entirely reasonable!!!

Thanks so much Dave. I have learned a ton here. And still good. But it's also nice to hear that my giving back has been appreciated.
