Critique Welcomed Woman Preparing Pancakes

[Steve Dormer]

I have not been too active on the forum for a while so would like the opportunity to catch up and get involved again. Here is an image taken on a recent tour of Turkey. The idea was to capture people in a natural environment. This was taken in Kaya village just after visting the ghost city.

It was taken with a X Pro 1 with very limited light.

I think you have certainly achieved that Steve, very nice

 

[Lesley Jones]

Oh wow!! Absolutely stunning. The colours, the framing and there's a lovely softness about the processing

 

[Brian Moore]

Its a nice image, Steve. Looks like it has a touch of HDR about it. However, maybe you just processed it in a way that gives that impression. Nevertheless, nice pic.

 

[Hamish Gill]

A very nice shot!

Welcome back Steve

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Wonderful way to tell a story - liking the movement in the hands as she rolls out the pancakes

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Beautiful image. and so far the only one that made me homesick and hungry. Thank you, Steve.

Hi Brian

I thought that after I had processed it but no HDR. i was shot at an ISP 2500 so hdr would not have worked very well. Thanks for the feedback

Hi Nihat

Great country and people we had a great time there.

painterly!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Stunning shot! Reminds me when I went to turkey.

 

[Paul Lange]

It certainly looks painterly, I guess you used quite a bit of noise reduction? I wouldn't say its bad for it though,very much the opposite.

Hi Paul

Not to much just run it through Nik define, thanks for the comment really appreciated.

That works very well Steve. It has an almost illustration-like quality to it. Nice.
