Simon, I answer more than willingly by writing a few "rules" that I try to follow in this area of ??photography that fascinates me so much ... I am indications that I hope to have played well and thanks to critical comments made to my shots.
Focusing the eye of the protagonist of the shot is crucial, otherwise the shot is trashed with no regrets.
The glow effect is, from my point of view, far too unnatural gives the shots a dreamlike atmosphere that contrasts with this kind and it is all too evident.
Even the light should be as natural as possible: sometimes a "scaldatina" there is but if you have not been lucky at the time of shooting (the amber light unfortunately does not last long time, sunrise and spectacular sunsets,or, not all day ...) it does not seem right to me to distort the real shooting conditions.
These are the reasons why for me, your shot made to zebras, it is not working.
That said, you've been very honest to clarify immediately the interventions made and motivate revealing what you mean to communicate, specifying that the atmosphere of the photo is your interpretation of the scene (at least to me, seems to have understood well).
Instead this shot, though obviously altered in post, I get much more natural. The cut then emphasizes the deep attachment to the family and the protection against the young of these beautiful animals.

I hope that I explained, let me know what you think!
A greeting :-)

Thank you all for the welcome steps.

Cristina, thanks for your answer.
I agree that the Glow effect, as I have applied myself in that picture, as does the cabbage with photography naturalistica.è was just an experiment that as you can clearly see, from that of zebras (too evident) in then I fell more and more to leave it in this very light and in that of Springbok (I hope you write it).
Do not get me though in tune on this sentence
does not seem right to me to distort the real shooting conditions.
.
The reality in photography does not interest me, for what I more than enough for myself, my mind and my emotions experienced at that momento.Almeno in photography,I want first of all to have fun and then try to put something of my own, interpreting the situation that nature I wanted to put in disposizione.l'importante is to create nice pictures, however plausible and credibili.Sicuramente in landscape photography will have more room for development, while that of an animal, there is inevitably a factor "known" (ie he knows how it is made a Zebra ;-)) .All my images are processed deeply, (and this I have always said) just because the fun and the desire to achieve what I have in mind for me is priceless but always manipulating what I disposizione.Non to add anything to my pictures, a maximum take off with the clone stamp -D.
I do not follow the fashions of the moment, if I apply the glow I only do it because I like it, I need soprattutto to smooth the sharp edges created by the sharpness (an unsharp mask in contrast for instance), a light I create almost always to direct the viewer's eye where I want, where I create a selective desaturation the estimate that that area should not interfere with the subject and perhaps serve to create some shade detachment. (this a few examples)
The colors do not change almost never (I say almost because sometimes I just white balance unlike the case of shade or light).
then it happens that you run away a little hand and people notice and does well to break it to you ;-)

thank you for your intervention I hope I have made clear my own point of view on photography and post production.

a warm greeting
Simone

I imagined that my remark you would find at odds ;-)
I completely understand your thinking, I had the opportunity to intuit and now you have been even clearer. In this particular area I do a little 'more work to share it but I think it's perfectly legitimate to (have a very clear vision of what is photography for you and you can be more consistent with your point of view).
Appearance new shots from Kruger: beyond the results (I trashed hundreds of shots: - |) I think it was an exciting experience for you.

Until next time!

beyond the results (I trashed hundreds of shots Sorry) I think it was an exciting experience for you.

I believe that in 3000 I will have photos cestinarne nearly 2000 and will not be an exciting experience: -D
and is not that what they'll keep perfect :-(

half out of focus and the other moves, one side with the animals among the thorns, the other light years away

safari, as well as South Africa I was not impressed (but not for the photos) I prefer a completely different type of environment and paesaggio.io are a lover of desert areas, preferably volcanic or environments where nature is incredible. The south africa for me, and for those who were with me on vacation, smells wellNo little of Africa, is a very civilized, almost on the American style in my opinion and the kruger park is a little stingy Sightings of animals.
However, it was, like any of the rest, a wonderful experience, because no trip to photograph, but to know the world and there is so much to see out there that a lifetime would not be enough ;-)
I just wish the times of today is becoming increasingly difficult to choose where to go :-(

hello and thank you for chat.

bn would split even more ...

because you are predictable maximum -D ..talmente expected that the version in black and white I made prior to this color: -D

then I decided to leave it in color for integrity against the entire gallery.
unlike other kinds pictures animals prefer them only in color.

thanks for your visit

so predictable that the version in black and white I made before this color
and how I knew I? -D
unlike other genres pictures animals prefer them only in color
generally too, but in this case that it is set in a landscape and the animal's skin is full of wrinkles and folds to me It makes it more but I understand and agree with the decision to keep her colors to have a gallery more homogeneous.

oh ... I read the comments above and I agree with your thoughts ... whatever happens and for that matter my opinion, this your image deserves a much greater recognition by Emanuele! You'll binned 2000, but the important thing is to excite us with what remains ... And this is certainly one of those that deserve an EP! .... But it is my opinion ... and nothing more! Hello ... I reciprocate the good wishes for the New Year that you made me gently in my last photo published ... I was hoping for your intervention ... To be honest in this picture I used my other filters Nik and glow I used very little, even with the brush ... but overall the effect might suggest the contrary ... You know me well enough to understand that from a photo rather flat I wanted to turn it into a dream, especially in this location where the è was a battleground when I went there during the hours of interval elementary schools (46 years ago !!!) ... What I would give to have a shepherd with a few sheep to the right of the lawn ... !!!! But what we can do and many things remain just dreams! But I am very happy when some of my pictures can best contribute to friendly chats with shaking the eyes of my friends ... just like your unforgettable and really wanted pictures! ... Best wishes! See you soon! ;-)

To be honest, in this picture I used my other filters from Nik and glow I used very little,

in my opinion, but I could be wrong, you use much the filter sunlight ;-)

then the same effect could be obtained even by soft filter or blur effect fog etc. ecc.color Efex is full of these styles.

However no matter what you use, the important thing that you get the effect you most aggrada.Purtroppo or perhaps fortunately ;-) we all have the same taste and when I notice this type of processing my taste not meet your.
Surely this effect makes much more sense in that kind of situation (forest with mist) rather than a backlight with the sun lens (position limit) for which you have done well to use it. <br />

I renew my wishes for a 2016 full of many beautiful images that give satisfaction above all to you stesso..il forum, for as I see it, not conta..nemmeno the EP.

Hello
