Fortnightly Challenge April 13 - 27 : Environmental Portraits

[Keleko]

Finally had time to review my Easter photos, before the deadline for the challenge ended! I rather like this. What do you honestly think? How could I have made it better?

Image

Auto ISO, camera selected 1600. 32mm. f/4. 1/200.

I took this (minus the spaces around the brackets):
[ url=http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5228/5661337767_3a10c8d36d_z.jpg ] Image [ /url ]

Turned it into this (again without the spaces):

Thanks. I have this figured out now. Direct links to Flickr and ImageShack are straightforward. When the image is clickable to go to Flickr, it's tricky because the image address is imbedded in a url to Flickr that must be left undisturbed. I have that down now, too. I will rebuild my Quote Button tutorial.

A pair of trumpetfish

The shape of this fish allows them to orient vertically and hide amongst soft corals...as you can see the one of the left is starting to do.


EXIF/Info: Canon 7D in Ikelite underwater housing; 1/60sec, f/5.6, 60mm & TTL Strobe from dual Ikelite DS-161 strobes; taken on 4/16/11.

Welcome kecklund!
You've really captured the essence of an environmental portrait here.
It gives me a feeling of being there a part of the shot -
It feels as though I'm riding 'with' the man on tractor with your tight framing and he's looking around to see what's going on in the trailer.
The vintage film appearance works well with the hard working/worked subject matter as well.
Technically it is a really nice combination of tone, colour and texture - a great shot, love it.
