Michiel: I do believe this is the first time I've noticed a person in any photos from your wonderful series of small towns.

Great capture, Matt!:thumbs:
Ah, perfect imperfection.Interestingly, this is no less dramatic, but not as garish!
And with the 100-200 zoom...
Just boosted contrast a million percent. That "takes care" of the saturation.

BTW, I just read up on why the sky is darker between the two rainbows and lighter below the primary. It seems water drops suffer from chromatic aberration (the rainbow), spherical aberration (the dark bit), and lack of a good coating (internal reflections). Really, you'd think whoever was responsible could make a better lens! Luckily for us, they did not. :ROTFL:
Thank you Dave as always for your kind supports to everyone on the forums. You are unbreakable and a symbol of hope.Son, that is very nicely done! Not only is the image excellent in every way technically, but it strikes an emotional chord. It makes me want to hear the story behind the image.:thumbs:

I found the 3 trees sticking together in the wilderness like the Trinity so I felt this is something I wanted to use as a background for the mystical BW photo. When I visualized the condition, I also felt the light projection was useable to complement the shadow despite being a mid day sun. The gray outfit being in the shade casted a dominant black to contrast the very bright mid day sun in the field and the trees rendered in shade of mid gray. The photo has the brightest white, mid gray and black to represents the BW spectrum of the Trinity. The picture represents a widow mourns for her lost and looking at the Trinity for deliverance. Since we lost another family member this past week, this trinity symbol serves as a dedication to our lost and instills our hope.
Ed, I do prefer this "less fantasy" version. It looks real, even with the composited moon. Very nicely done.I always wanted a less "fantasy" version of the image above, to go with my broader portfolio, so here it is. Not entirely real, of course; I have still added the moon and composited the lit version of the bridge. But more realistic perhaps. The scene itself really did look much like this, moon and bridge aside.
