Also available nice and large on Flickr (with geekdata!). Surprisingly there's no Photoshopping going on here: it's just a panning shot with a wide-angle lens and a nice slow aperture. :)

    \$\begingroup\$ I don't like how nothing in the picture is in focus, not even the horse's face. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Sorry to hear you don't like it, Martha, although his name ("KEATON") is in perfect focus. Still, you can't please all the people all the time. :) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Blimey, let's calm down everyone. @Martha, Jakub was just restating the rules set out very clearly at the top of this thread: "Only vote up the images you like...ignore those you do not. DO NOT use this forum as a place for image critique. Use chat for that (you'll get far better feedback)!" Nothing to do with handling different opinions. :) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @MarkWhitaker: why on earth would I want feedback (better or otherwise) on my opinions? That rule makes no sense. \$\endgroup\$

This was taken in Havana, Cuba, on a cloudy September day in 2010. No HDR was used on this photo, the clouds actually looked like that!

You can see the full size image on Flickr.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I love the vignette on this shot. Makes it more authentic, expressive and impressive, IMO :) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ For me "authentic" isn't quite the right word. But it certainly give the photo a mood that it wouldn't have without it. I like vignette too. \$\endgroup\$
