The Rice Harvester...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

The Rice Harvester...

Postby Remorhaz on Sat Jul 27, 2013 10:13 pm

Whilst riding down a country lane on our bike tour through the heart of Bali I saw this man out in his rice field tending his crop and had to stop and see if I could make some images. I stopped and smiled and motioned with my camera and he smiled in acceptance and gave me this pose so I moved in as close and as high as I could at the edge of the paddy with the longest end of the lens I had on at the time - I'm sure he's seen thousands of tourists ride by his fields :) but I was thankful he allowed this image...

Great candid Rodney. I've found usually that Asians are fairly accommodating when it comes to taking photos, unlike Europeans.

nice image of a buff old dude in the field Rodney. I like the slight pano format, the only suggestion i have is to dial back the vignettting a bit or even better make the overall size bigger such that is not so prominent in the bottom left corner where it appears very pronounced.

very ironic that he is a wearing a hat but not worried about his shirtless back :)

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Really nice image which captures the feel of the island. This image is right up there with your 'mother' image from your bike ride.

Cheers Gerry - I went back and looked at the image and I hadn't added any vignetting - it's just that this particular lens appears to vignette quite a lot (even at 120mm) - here's the same image just with the LR5 lens auto correction turned on:

Nice classic island life image Rodney... good to see the vignetting is easily sorted when it's not wanted so it's not an issue for that lens then.
