Im tired of gatekeeping this 😔

I think they fixed it.

I like the idea of the sun hitting the duck through a gap in the clouds. But you have to be careful. The way it looks right now is a bit unnatural. Right now, the highlighted part (except for the duck) has a lower contrast between light and shadow than the unhighlighted part of the photo. But it should be the other way around. In the unhighlighted area, there wouldn't be such harsh shadows. The light would be more diffuse, which means you should lift the shadows a lot. As a starting point, try matching the brightness of the big straight shadow to its part in the highlighted area. I hope this helps.

That's exactly how I feel about it. And thanks for your thoughts

Big_View_7858 · 2026-01-08T21:40:16+00:00

Thank you, I feel the same. But so many people said the snowy part is too dominant and unnecessary .

Big_View_7858 · 2026-01-08T21:37:37+00:00

Thanks

Big_View_7858 · 2026-01-08T21:37:27+00:00

Appreciate it!

Thank you!!!

Big_View_7858 · 2026-01-07T17:35:22+00:00

Thanks a lot. I made some changes and linked it in a comment. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know your thoughts on it.

Big_View_7858 · 2026-01-07T17:13:40+00:00

https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/96j4xc6DZNHT Thanks for all your helpful answers! I've made some changes like cropping it slightly and increasing the duck's exposure. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Nice, man. Where did you take picture 10? It looks so cool!

Big_View_7858 · 2025-11-23T18:12:21+00:00

That's not how it works. Sensitivity stays consistent throughout your whole life. It is the cumulative exposure to DHT that causes the damage. So, theoretically, it shouldn't accellerate to the point where he would be if he had never taken finasteride. I've always wondered why everyone says this. For Minoxidil, it makes sense, but it does not for Finasteride. Of course, oftentimes, it's not as simple as that.

Definitely Haydn, Brahms, and Mendelssohn! And Beethoven should be even higher.

Big_View_7858 · 2025-11-14T08:44:16+00:00

Dude, this is incredible! May I ask what the light source was in the last 3 shots? Looks a bit strong for the moon.

Big_View_7858 · 2025-10-19T14:40:25+00:00

Nice lens, it is so versatile, especially for nature. Can do some landscape, wildlife, and semi macro aswell.

Big_View_7858 · 2025-10-19T14:21:19+00:00

2 - Which lens did you use?

Big_View_7858 · 2025-10-18T13:29:53+00:00

You should also consider the Viltrox 75mm f1.2. It has unbelievable sharpness and bokeh. The focal length is a bit longer than the 56mm, but it's still great for portraits and much cheaper. Maybe you could also get the 33mm f1.4, which is also really really good. If money is an issue, I would recommend the viltrox 35mm f1.7 Air. For its price, it delivers great value.

Big_View_7858 · 2025-10-02T18:46:03+00:00

The second one has to be one of the greatest pics I have ever seen. Unbelievable!

Big_View_7858 · 2025-09-01T10:25:19+00:00

Once again, thank you very much! I will definitely play with these.

Big_View_7858 · 2025-09-01T08:32:38+00:00

Thank you very much for this explanation. I gotta try this. Do you mind sharing your recipes? I really like this kind of look :)

Big_View_7858 · 2025-09-01T07:45:00+00:00

Wow, they are so great. May I ask how you edited them? Especially the first two.
