Hi Dustein,
Very good mixed format treatment ... very creative indeed. Talagang maganda, pare ... excellent!
Cheers,

Hi Dustein;

The composition is good as is the sharpness (from what I can make out), but I think it's quite clear to see that you relied hevily on the burn tool with this image. Post-processing is great and is most effective when it's NOT OBVIOUS. The burn tool looks quite splotchy here with some parts having it- and others not. As with your other shots- (in my opinion) you rely too heavily on post-processing (against TrekEarth TOS)... I would strongly suggest you invest more time in learnign how to take good photos through the camera, and 'IF" you're going to use Photoshop- make it less obvious...

Regards,
- Dan

Beautiful artwork, but still too much post-procssesing.
At least you deleted the mention of selling your photos in your intro. An improvement.
cheers

I love the atmosphere of the scene, It's very creative! I like that! although, I must agree, let's not get too trigger happy on Photoshop, but I don't really mind it. I still see this nice scene, And I really like the way it went, but just make sure you don't go to over the top in future. Thank you for sharing!

I like the subject, I've travelled around the country but not really much in the South or Western Mindanao. So this photo is of great interest to me. Thans for sharing!
