Intellectually seen I agree with you. A, B, C or D shouldnt matter. In practice I must admit cup size D is my fav.

Oh, of course the teasing underwear can boost hormones production to unbelievable heights, Wolf! ;-) But only if the *carrier* is already exciting in this particular way too. If not, then you can get the most exotic underwear and still the spark doesn't get through. When I look at those mockups, all those silly silicon "beauties" and their whole apparatus of so called "attractiveness" I must fall down on the floor and laugh myself to death. You know, Eddie plays just an $150 guitar, but the sound... my shoes start tapping around all by themselfs. ;-) It is the quick fingers that do that - not the mockups.
As about being who I am.. well, we all can never be anything else than what we are, ey?
Cheers!

Thanks a lot, Saad! Now I understand what you mean! Indeed it works very well! So, I had to zoom in a bit more at shooting time!
Hope you had a nice dinner! Thanks a lot again!

Ow, well, then we have different points of view here. Sometime the shot is perfect as taken and other times some PS work is needed to make it how i want to have it. A naked girl is nice but a girl dressed in teasing underwear can be more exciting ;-)
Jassou my friend, be who you are !

A purist... well, that might really be, in a certain sense, Harry. Perhaps I am a purist, I don't know.
But in your previous message you told me you are a "simple man", now you tell me you tweak things until you like them. I don't know if this is consequent. For me it sounds like choosing each time exactly the measure that serves best the own benefits, and that's not for me. To me it is a fake. My intention is to be able to shoot some good images that can stand critiques from profis. This is more a personal taste than "orthodoxy", really, but I don't want to artificially bend and distort until it fits my own version of "good" or "bad" and makes me look "better". Not my case, and so... yes perhaps I am a purist. But then again, why should that be good at all, ey?
Still, after all I don't drink whisky with ice and coca cola or any other wannabe "betterings" of taste. ;-) It has to be exactly that: If I drink whisky I want to drink: Whisky!
Cheers!

Hmmm, now I understand even less, Saad. A little crop where there is a lot of blue, you say... Well, perhaps you do the crop and attach that?
Cheers!

You are a purist Nick ! I am not so orthodox and just play and tweek until it looks good. Both ways are good. Jassou

So, you mean I should also "stretch" the image vertically after having cropped it, Saad? :-/

Well, I know it can be done wth PS, Harry, but I prefer to get more able to do that right out of the camera. Still, PS work is good a s a hint for telling what should be done at shooting time too. Some kind or reverse engineering.
Cheers!

Thank you very much, Indranil!
It was a good luck that the just left the leaves there, in front of that fence. Normally they just carry them away, you see. Order and a clean city, you know!
Cheers!

Actually the forms of the leaves are anything but simple. They are extremely complicated. But if you like it I am glad.
Cheers!

yes,now the leaves get the attention of the viewer completely,of course after correcting the aspect ratio at the time of cropping,regards, Saad.

Yes yes yes and you may correct a lot with color balance in PS.

Thanks a lot, and feel always free to ask, criticize, whatever you like, Saad! I am just a beginner too, so the more you tell me the more possibilities I have to get it right some day. No diva attitudes here.
So, let's see what your idea does. (Attachment.) Did you mean that more or less? If so, then I don't know.. There seems to be much more importance of the leaves now, but it got quite "limited" at the same time. Do you find it better this way?
Cheers!

Cropped after Saad's idea |

Thanks a lot, Harry!
Your idea about the blueish hues reinforces Stan's idea too. So, I have something to cling on about this. As you said to me so often, I should give it a try with some EV less, ey? ;-) And perhaps also a less sensitive film in the blues??
Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the nice comment and the help, Stan!
If I remember well the sunlight was really strong on that day. So your explanation sounds reasonable to me. Which makes me think about a combination of a bit less exposure and perhaps some less sensitive film in the blues.
Cheers!

Excellent shot. I love the contrast between back wooden fence and leafs. And variation of the leaf size and colour also looks amazing. Nice catch :) Cheers! Indranil

just asking,and not criticizing,would it be better and more beautiful if you crop just half length of the pile of wood, me,I think so,the blue colorer could it be due to processing!! I don't know,regards, Saad.

Certainly a symbol of fall, Nick, with the pile of brightly coloured leaves piled up against the wooden fence. You got great colours and they make a good contrast with the fence. Dave.

Excellent, I find the comp perfect, chaos on the bottom, lines at the wall. Blue shade may be the sky. I see in many of my shots the blue sky reflected in the darker parts as shadows. 6/7 !

I like this minimal image. Nice contrast between the fence and the colorful leaves. Good exposure as well. If shot with the sun out there could be a little reflective light against the wood from the leaves. That would be my guess. None the less I really like the colors and balance of the shot. Be well, Stan
