I took these photos at the Three Rondawels in Mpumalanga after a veld fire swept through the area. New grass started to grow out of the dead buds and I thought that they will be perfect for The Sweet Hereafter, The Afterlife..

I would go for the third or the fourth personally, however they are all rather good. You guys have some gorgeous scenery down there...

Smilodon · 21st May 2008, 17:53

Definitively number 4. That's a really nice shot. The others look a bit too busy, IMO.

And I love how this fits into the theme

Ninja_182 · 21st May 2008, 19:56

4 without a question, its a lot more focussed on the subject than some of the others and theres a lot less going off in the background.

#4 is great, wished i had scenery like that

OleJ · 23rd May 2008, 08:24

I think with some HDR on #3 you might actually be able to make it really good (if you have the RAW file). Other than that I agree on #4

WiK1d · 24th May 2008, 17:36

Cool, thanks for the comments guys, 4 it shall be!

eldiablo · 24th May 2008, 18:31

The picture left now, wasn't that picture #3?

WiK1d · 24th May 2008, 20:28

Did I take the wrong one? :\

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

That's how they were previously?

Tomm · 24th May 2008, 22:07

#4 is definitely the best, I like it.

Quite a lot of CA (I think?) on the branches against the sky though, it's bothering me. You could probably reduce that in raw conversion though?

WiK1d · 24th May 2008, 22:12

I didn't shoot these in RAW

eldiablo · 24th May 2008, 22:20

Sorry, my mistake, should look twice before commenting.
I think you've changed a bit to much though with the contrast (or whatever you have done with the picture) because the branches in the sky have this really unnatural blue'ish glow to it

WiK1d · 24th May 2008, 22:22

lol, so which one did you pick? Number 3?

eldiablo · 25th May 2008, 12:09

Number 5, don't know why i thought that there were only 4 pictures, i guess i should go back to school to learn how to count
