DeBrito's PHOTO 52 2011

Hiya Paul,

I actually really like this. I've not done much HDR, but can appreciate taking a photograph and turning it into art ... which I think you have done very well here.

You have taken an image and turned it into a pencil drawing ... and I like that (y)

The colours are great and the whole image tells a story or abandonment and a place that is definitely in need of rescue. I especially like the bits of graffiti on the walls and would have like to have seen more of the right of the frame.

Personally I think you have done a great job here (y)

Cheers

Dawn :)

It doesn't look like a photograph, so for that reason I'm out!

As an image though, it has a certain appeal to it, but don't ask me to explain what it is as I don't know :thinking:

As for the location, it does look like there is potential for some interesting shots.

Some real potential there. Looks like you've gone straight to 'Grunge' mode in Photomatix?

I'm a fan of HDR, subtle, but this aint subtle...:puke:

I'd like to see a subtle B&W conversion of the origional.

I'd also be tempted to get in close as the door looks a bit odd in a cenral location.

Cheers.

Well all I can say is I have my opinion ... and that is what counts .... so I stick by that :razz:
 
recently back from a lovely holiday with the wife and children had a great time but im so behind with work still catching up (y)
a bit of a elaborate place to be playing cards

SC doesn't bother me, providing it's used right, which I don'tthink it is here.
Selecting the colour of the taxi places the emphasis on the taxi, which is not elaborate.

In addition, I'm not sure playing cards on the boot of a car is elaborate, it's certainly different.

Now as for the image, I think it would be great either all in colour or mono.
It's a great capture of a card game and tells a story.
Possibly a slightly higher angle would be better, one that shows more of the cards and being closer in.
 
really like the landscape version at spurn point, but then I am a total sucker for seascapes, my favourite pics and pastime;0)))

ha ha on promise, thats a fab pic, really gets the grey matter whirring, that bike is ancient, how brilliant, and what a powerful setting, love it!! The leaves on bottom right a bit distracting, but who cares, tis great

empty another great location, and an interesting angle

great drawing of the eye through the power pic, loving those crazy clouds!!!

I am not overkeen on too much HDR myself, but this really is a very personal thing, and lots love it, and I can see the attraction, so not a criticism, just pondering out loud!!!

a good thread, nice one!
 
thanks for your comments guys im still in catchup mode i will get round to posting, this is my daughter celebrating her law degree on Monday

Congratulations to your daughter.

The shot hits the theme as it's certainly something to celebrate, but I think it would benefit from a crop of th etop, down to the top of the 'a'

Hiya Paul,

First of all congratulations to your daughter for attaining her Law Degree, I bet you are well proud of her. The photo is spot on theme and the cropped version is better. The image looks a tad grainy though.

Elaborate ... I'm sorry doesn't work for me, I think it is because I am trying to see what is elaborate about the image. I know you mention the card game but to me it looks like a T-shirt on the boot of the car.

Cheers

Hiya Paul,

Oh no! I'm gutted to hear you are packing in, especially when you have doing such a great job. It would be great if you would reconsider ... especially when you have come so far.

Give it some thought .... and even if you have to take a break for a while and do a catch up later ... but please don't give up.

Cheers

Dawn :)
 
You gotta do what you gotta do.

It would be easy to chuck up any old cack.

Either take a few weeks off or start again next year.

Any reason you lost your mojo?

Cheers.
