I bumped this shot because it appears there was a glitch while uploading this yesterday and for some reason the commenting became disabled. I dunno.
Your feedback on this image is highly appreciated. I'm trying a few new processing techniques and would highly appreciate input and constructive critique. Thank You!
The above is an image shot last summer while Nathan was visiting the states from France. If I had to pick a photographer that has improved the most over the last year, it would be him. His cinematic look into the art has grown into a wonderfully composed art form in his hands. He is never afraid to try new techniques and put his images out there for critique by others. He bring a refreshing humility to the art form - something that is lacking among photographers in this fast paced and quickly growing community. I consider it a privilege to call him my friend.
