very good shot. a little more space towards the bottom would have looked more better as per me.

agree with vimal. the lower part needed a bit more space. otherwise, it's a nice shot. love the sky, good drama!

cheers!

Great pic. Good editing by vimal expect for the name which should be Braindead. How much seconds was the exposure and what time? I wish to try these kind of photos.

@Lightwave - Ha ha, you know I don't do too well with composite images. :P In any case I warned him of dire consequences if he moved. :D

@Toofan - Thanks for the critique and effort taken to try and fix it. :) However I don't think a PP job can fix this. A reshoot is the only option. :(

@cantax-user - Thanks for the critique... appreciated. :)

@Chillum_baba - Ha ha, well too lazy to watermark photos now so I skip it alltogether. :P That was my friends cousin who came along as he was interested in photograpghy. I liked his dark clothes and the lovely clouds so it was just a spur of the moment shot. :)

It was taken with a 10 stop GND and the EXIF info is intact. Its shot at 30 secs f9 ISO 100.

@ISO - Thanks Mukund ! :D This was processed using SilverFX.

@aniltulsi - Thanks ! :)

@Sanjay 64 - Thanks Sanjay. :D

It was taken with a 10 stop GND

Really? Not seen one ever.

On the pic - I'd have got closer, wider and a little upwards to get his to dominate the frame a little - but that's a different shot but perhaps you can try that if you reshoot.

On this pic, that shoreline splitting his head is something that could have been avoided.

I like the shot, a lil more spacing towards the bottom edge would have helped.
Negative point : There is very little separation in between his face, his hair and his t-shirt.
I think I was born in the wrong century

@wild007, Madhav - Thanks. :)

@Vikram - Thanks for the critique. :D

And I made a slight boo boo when I said 10 stop GND. I meant a 10 stop ND only. :P

I couldn't get any wider (it was already at 10mm). The max I could have done was tilt the camera a bit to give more space at the bottom. I realized his head was cutting the horizon only after I posted it so a re-shot is the only option.

@G2 - Thanks buddy. Yup, agree with you on the spacing. More than anything I should have avoided his head cutting the horizon.

Unfortunately he wore all black that day so there was little I could do to colour co-ordinate. :(

@Anirban - Thanks sirji. :)
