What do you like?
G'day Brett, To me this is by far the better of the pair mainly because of its left-to-right composition but also for its gradation of light from left to right. Slowly but surely the jungle is reclaiming the land but in a wonderful way Nature, (or possibly man), has framed that head nicley, to catch the eye af any passing photographer. Lovely tones, shadows and contrast give this image a nice finishing touch. GB D!

Nitpick: C lone out that white thread-like root from top left. ;-)

What do you like?
This is great. I am a sucker for dark contrast photos. Love the sepia, goes well with the subject.
3 May 2012What would you improve?
Nothing really, maybe the border, but that has nothing to do with the overall photo. awesome job!

yeah, to be honest, i took the picture as a memory, because its an important icon in the Thai Budhism. and it was very plain - grey roots on grey stone. while playing around with the pick, i pushed the black point all the way up to try bring out more contrast and interesting detail. the deep dark shadows in the roots appeared, and only then did i get the above 'theme' or idea.
so it was a bit of fluke (not sure if thats an english word), but thats photography right..

virtually the same photo and editing :( bummer-
KatiePhotographie@kanonkop If it helps -- I like yours better than the CD cover ;-) I prefer the sharpness of yours! Plus, the font on the CD cover is not ideal...

The roots are super cool too.

from the photo I never would have guessed it was that small, I'd have said a couple feet tall anyway..and even if some one else did somthing similar , it's still a great pic

What do you like?
The focus is better but I also like the composition better from this side. Great job
2 May 2012What would you improve?
Nothing to improve really but what I am left wondering about with this photo is the scale....I'm not really sure how big anything is.

a holy sign. Where I grow up is all about buddhism and that's a lot meaning to me :D
2 May 2012What would you improve?
I prefer natural colors for its reality
kanonkop@DennisG thanks Dennis
9 June 2012good point re the top left glitch! all about the small details hey.
yeah, i was really happy with the outcome of this (and the other) photo. the RAW image was really un exciting and didn't stand out at all. i started playing around in LR and found that increasing the contrast and black point really transformed the pic :)
