Beautiful drama Laurence. That three is at Hagar qim Temples, am I right? Wonderful sunset shot. #3933199Laurence Saliba February 19, 2007
Couldn't help not respond to this!!! Dan you must have some blurry monitor! What halo are you seeing? Do you mean to say this image is superimposed on another? All that was done here was a slight adjustment in levels, a minor crop and sharpened. LOL sloppy PS work!!! Mur sib grieg bahnan!!! #3966461If I am wrong then I apologize, just trying to give an honest critique so that you might be able to improve the picture with some minor post-processing adjustments. If anybody else sees what I'm talking about, please confirm because Laurence thinks I am "Mur sib grieg bahnan"... #3969105
Paul Giorgio February 20, 2007
Just wanted to point out that sometimes it can turn out to be a natural phenomon...there was a photo uploaded some time ago of a giraffe that had a similar effect...such as a 'halo' glow...this can at times be achieved with a photoshop colour curve tweak but at times its a natural effect....now there is one way to give a critic on a photo and there are others...Dan C you mentioned the foreground being uninspiring - right? So what is one to do? crop it? and have a floating tree? In your response you should be fair...if you dont like it...just say why but do say what you would have done or give advice..and not just act aggressive...cause your statement as read by me...not the author of the photo was agressive.. #3969146Laurence Saliba February 20, 2007
Thanks Paul!! No more comment. #3970320Lani J February 23, 2007

Laurence, I can recognize when an image is superimposed and your is not superimposed and as Paul explained is a natural light effect capture by the camera that is called light radiant and sometime can be perceived by naked eyes.It's a genuine and fantastic beautiful images and congratulations for your Finalist, Laurence!!! #6643078
