The lighting on that grass and fence really makes this image.

it is not surprising this is so successful. There is a lot being bandied around about workflow and technical parameters - what occurs to me is that what Dave is creating is far more to do with natural artistic flair and intuition about how to apply the tools at hand. Setting the brushes and getting things in the right order is one thing but applying the technique in the way that Dave does is quite another. The fact that his workflow is so simple actually makes it very obvious that the real skill is in the artistic application of (fundamentally) dodging and burning...not to mention the realisation at the point of capture that he has a workable image. This image demonstrates this in spades. The vision required to capture the scene in the first place, with the aspect, flows and textures all working together then the PP that is applied in a way which creates an artistic representation rather than a faithful capture. These are techniques used by a painter or sketcher and it is well worth thinking about that before pressing the shutter... Blimey I'm blushing after that mate  |

I said it before in your tutorial and Steve put it into words beautifully. Please keep posting photographs. I love them |
