Hi Reza, I am delighted that you are bringing the deserts and canyons to the rest of us. This stream photo reminds me of my time in Arizona - hiking and discovering bits of beauty. I look forward to seeing more of your work here. Cheers! Sam

This our fisrt, but hopefully not our last meeting on the pgaes of "Usefilm", Mr. Fakhrai. Of your photos I decided to commment on this one because its beauty is simple and simplicity in art is often the essence of the beauty you look for, as you write in your bio.
You are, of course, invited to read my bio and pay further visits to my portfolio.
In the meantime I thank you for your friendly comment on my "Unopened Isreali champagne." It was later opened ad drunk and tasted wonderfully.
Best regards,
Dr. Rafael (Rafi for future communications) Springmann

Hi Reza, Thanks for sharing your passion for music. I played the viola for 8 years in my earlier days. I used to love the feeling of playing a piece in the orchestra - the sounds stayed with me throughout the day... Enjoy! Sam

Very sharp, clear image with good use of depth of field. New Mexico is a beautiful state with great views in the desert and mountain regions. I am a great fan of desert photography and will be looking forward to seeing more of your New Mexico pictures in the future.

Oh, good! You like it! I actually use Paint Shop Pro, not Photo Shop. What I did was "clarify" it (click of a button), sharpened it, then added a little contrast. After that I duplicated the background layer twice made the top layer a "burn" layer and the middle layer a "dodge" layer and adjusted the opacity of those two layers until it looked the way I wanted it. I merged the layers and added a small black layer... and that's it! It sounds more complicated than it actually is ;o)

I really like the perspective and angle you used, the DOF is nice too and the B&W as well. I agree that a little more contrast would be nice, maybe even a little dodging and burning for detail.
What do you think of this? You can take it or leave it, just my 2 cents....

That's a very excellent rendition of it. In my mind, that's the beauty of photography...it can mean different things to different people. With your interpretation, I would prefer the bridge of the cello to be a little darker, but the body is perfect. Thanks a lot for your help!

I will be experimenting with it a little more. I guess when I convert pictures to b&w, the way that I mix the tones reflects my mood. At the time, I had finished practicing Tchaikovsky's 4th, so I really wanted the more introspective approach to the different qualities of the woodgrain of the cello. This led me to keep the contrast and the brightness down. Check back later and you might see a completely different picture. Thanks a lot for the comment!

Beatiful shot, I love the framing.Its great that we can see the grain of the wood too.
If anything, i would say that it may need a bit more contrast, and maybe lightened a bit. Have you tried adding some toning to it? That would really make it pop out.
Really good work, i love it.(I too LOVE the sound of the cello, so i have special apprecation for this..)
Congrats
Corrie

I contemplated doing so, Melanie. The reason why I did not was because there is a mountain range just at the bottom of the frame. I guess I didn't want to over-complicate the picture, as the main subject was the moon and the clouds. Thanks for the comment!
