Original Creation

Shelter Belt at Sundown

Jeffth 18 Oct 2022

I have mixed feelings about this one (as usual) but I really enjoy some parts of it. I'm noticing the image quality drops once I've uploaded an image, any tips on getting the photo to look better on the site? Does it amount to starting with the highest res photo possible? Thanks!

The photo gets compressed even if you start with 9Mb photo. Option would be to add additional photos if you really like to do so. They are about 2Mbs in size, so more details can be seen. Compression does not work very well with small size paintings and with impasto, just keep it in mind when you post. Anyway none of the photos will give justice to the actual thing in your studio unless you are pro-photographer and know all the hacks and own professional camera. ( I must admit that I was quite good at photography but anyway I could not achieve representative oil painting photograph and I do not worry about it any longer till I start selling my works online)

The trees in the background against the sky look gorgeous!

This is a beautiful picture all around! I hope to achieve one as good.

Thank you for the insight on photography, sunny. I've seen some uploads here that appear rather hi-res, so I'm guessing it's my current phone camera (which is kinda wonky).
Thank you Alexandria and Brian! And don't sell yourself short Brian, you most certainly have.

Thanks Jeff and this is really wonderful. I love the colors and mood created!

that means a lot Brian, thank you
