Photograph Taken by myself, =TimberClipse

Category: Photography



Best Viewed Small at first to allow you to see entire image.

PLEASE NOTE: The Ribbon was NOT made by the airplanes. For 2 hours surrounding this image no planes were flying with smoke on board!



I took this photo today while out on a photo shoot, and thought it was so cool that the Breast Cancer Awareness (ref: [link]) Ribbon seemed to appear in the sky.

The photo was not set up.

This photo is edited but only with slight color/sepia tones added. Otherwise it has remained the same. There was no photo shopping to make the clouds look like this, it is how they were naturally found and photographed.

I decided to upload this to the Think Pink V contest. I do realize that it is not "pink" per say, but I feel that the message is the same as anything that could be in pink.

Thank you for taking a look.

Best,

=TimberClipse

This was photographed wonderfully. The colors are definitely brilliant. I'm guessing by the looks of this photograph this was shot in the evening or late afternoon. But still a brilliant shot. I definitely don't see anything wrong with this photograph. Brilliant just brilliant!! Definitely deserves a thumbs up d(-~-)b make that double. I may not be a great photographer but still this has definitely impacted me in a good light. I love those hill in this pictures. This picture makes me want to go to where it was taken. Beautiful scenery indeed.You've definitely left a good impression on me. Thank you for posting this photograph. It has definitely made my day quite a bit better.

I love the colours in this photo. The quite reddy tones gives off a very warm feel from it. I love the contrast between the warm colour of the trees and the cool colour of the sky, looks great against eachother!

I think something that could be improved is the bottom half of the photo. I think the photo would look a lot better and more eye catching if the airplanes weren't cut in half. The colours of the planes are so bright and sharp, I'd love to see the whole of the planes and not just half of them. I think it would just top the photo off.

I do think you have a good eye for photography, spotting the shape of the ribbon in the sky.

Great capture! Keep it up! :) (Sorry I'm not the best at giving critique :P).

This is such a lovely picture! It's very intriguing how the smoke or clouds (I'm not sure which) makes the breast cancer awareness symbol, and great that you spotted it! You have a good eye :) I'm also really loving the colors and tones you added - it gives almost a gentle, rustic sort of feel that works very well. It's easy on the eyes but still pleasing to look at, without distracting from the picture's message.

The only thing I would say is that I personally find the planes a little distracting. In my opinion, the one on the left is fine because it has a nice color that works well, but the ones on the right are sort of bothersome to me. I don't recommend cropping them out since then you'd lose some of the nice forest behind. I don't know if you use Photoshop or GIMP or what, but if you use GIMP, I know a fantastic tutorial for getting rid of stuff in photos you don't want, so message/note me if you're interested. (Of course, you may already know how to do this on whatever program you use. :) )

I hope this critique was helpful! I really think this is a lovely picture.

I would love to hear about removing them if you can tell me, although I would be unlikely to use it a lot. I dislike using PS/Gimp for much other than color correction >.<

But might be worth a shot :)

Thanks for your help :thanks:

This picture is breathtaking! Colors look a bit unreal but it fits to this photo i think :)

This is the most interesting pic from the five thumbs you posted. :) It's the ribbon like cloud formation that grabs the attention. I've never seen a sky like this in my life...
Not sure about the foreground here though. It's just a field of grass with 2 tails of planes. Would be better for the composition to see a whole plane here. Now all these bits look a bit messy to me. Not really a fan of the colour editing here, but that's what scores nowadays. I think the bright and fresh colours of the grass would make this shot more 'alive'. ;)

Hey ~brammoolenaar

Thanks for your suggestions! I agree, the foreground is a little boring. This was really an on the spot shot and the formation in the sky lasted only a minute or so more, so I didn't get a chance to play around a lot.

That said, I will try to take that into consideration in the future, so thank you!

Really beautiful pick! I love the sky, clouds are so nice shape and lovely pink. This is a really symbolic pick, behalf a goog thing. It's really nice that airplanes also shows in this pick, that gives a last great expression=)

Sorry my english!

It's a fun idea for the contest, at least something different! I agree with little billie; the sepia doesn't suit the photo. Makes the red of the aeroplanes pop out too bright.

Really nice capture! The only thing is the planes are a little distracting, but the color is really nice! Love it! Great job!
