Chicken Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

A main attraction of Bahariya or Farafra oasis is its White Desert (Sahara el Beyda). The White Desert is located 45 km north of Farafra. The desert has a white, cream color and has massive chalk rock formations that have been created as a result of sandstorms.

This rock formation looks really surrealistic- like a giant chicken resting under the gigantic mushroom.

Hello Bertek, the subject is nice, but the photo is overexposed.
See how it comes out in my workshop, after the automatic levels correction of Photoshop.
The quality of the picture itself could be better, but this is not the point.
Ciao Stefano

Hello Bartek,
I like these rock formations and your composition is good too. But I agree that it is overexposed. Furthermore, there is too much noise due to compression. The file size is now 29 kB, but it can be max. 200kB. You shoud use the maximum file size to avoid compression noise. I also made a workshop, I hope you will like it.
