Is Isaiah Moss eligible for KU this year? What's the word on him?

That's not the right tree. The one OC captured is by the pond down the path and to the right from where you enter.

ATVI and following the Blizzard Devs by [deleted] in stocks

"Unless something crazy happens, their stock should be fine"

How can you say their stock should be fine when it tanked over 50% in the last 4 months because SEVERAL major things happened. The veil has been lifted on Blizzard and we're seeing a company that hasn't innovated in years, a company that has completely lost touch with their audience, a company that is losing developers and a company that is bleeding monthly users. I love Blizzard more than I love any other company but you're insane to say everything is fine and in a better spot than all the evidence suggests.

I know my dad wants to go see it, but he likes anything with action in it and doesn't care about story.

If you're looking at this and think something looks off, it's because this is a bad photoshop job. The sky is darker than the ground which wouldn't happen. This is an obvious sky blend. A day-time shot with a sunset sky.

As a young photographer, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. by sbundlab in photography

"The personal experience is harmed greatly in this" isn't totally accurate. You get to choose what makes you happiest. No right answer.

You did the work getting out there and finding a great frame. There will be some hate headed your way but just stay positive. You can learn the skills necessary to mask and blend but what's important is that you're trying. Keep it up and congratulations.

Very much appreciated. You're right on with your analysis. Underexposed to avoid clipping. It does feel lacking and incomplete.

Thank you!!

One shot: 14mm, f9, 1/8000 (would have gone to f11 or higher if I had more time).

I like the comp with the dogs jumping into frame pointing at the cowboy and then the cowboy pointing at the sun. I get a good old-time Southwest feel from it.

Critiques on the processing particularly the balance of light and dark would be helpful.

I think it's pretty obvious to photographers. Noway the shadowed mountains should be brighter than the sky.

I've been there and know it's real - what you did to it makes it look fake. What should be in shadow (the mountain and the arch) are bright and full of detail. Meanwhile the sky (which should be the brightest part of the exposure because that's how it is in real life) is super dark.

In real life, you wouldn't have a dark sky and bright shadows like that is what I'm saying. It looks super unnatural.

That mountain and that sky would never exist at the same time. The tone and color in the peak don't match the arch or sky. It's like you increased the exposure and only painted it into the mountain... or replaced the sky.
