You know what, I agree with you. I started editing this shot last night, and I was up very early this morning and thought I would finish it off. I think I was still tired and messed about with it too much. I will DM you.

This is really great! I'm not sure because of the fog which makes it always a bit hard to judge but i think you went a bit overboard on the editing. Do you mind sharing the straight out of camera picture?

Really beautiful

Thank you so much!!

Looks like you live in Lothlórien with the elves.

I really like the colors. Well done

Wow! Can I set this as my desktop background?

Thank you so much!!!

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing, this goes straight to wallpapers :)

Oooohhh, reflections! Nice.

That’s the very definition of artist. Be prolific, throw away most of your work, release the gold.

needs less clarity

Thank you so much!!

Great shot!

Wow, that must of been soul destroying for the photographers. When I say 1 in 3, the 1 is the shot that doesn't go straight in the bin. I looked back over last year's shots that I kept and edited, I think I was completely happy with about 15. The rest were ok.

Really awesome and impressive!

One in three is high praise.

 

Looooooong ago I worked as an assistant for a guy who shot for Playboy. Not any of the name guys; just someone trying to get in the door. Lots of competition.

When the photo editors would select the photo set for Playmate of the Month, they'd put the portfolios on a long conference table. The editors would walk around the table. Anything they didn't like for any reason at all, they threw on the floor. They just kept walking around the table, throwing stuff on the floor.

When they were done and couldn't find anything more to throw on the floor, then they started looking in earnest.

Any photographer there would have killed for one out of three.

To be honest when I first started I would get about 1 in 10 keepers, now I'm much more selective and I hope a bit better at it, so around 1 in 3. I think that's about the average from what I have read.

It's like the burn-pile for a woodworker.

Mistake? What mistake?

I try not to think about it

Haha if only that was true! My recycle bin on the computer would say something different:) but thank you

Spelling error yes its Sanjay*
