Night-time in downtown Melbourne

Hey ... @Kodiak Qc - 82 views and not a comment. Must be in the wrong forum!

 

[chuckles]

... or rubbish!

That's me! Why me?

Hey Barry,

of those 82, I came 4 or 5 times but I did not want to be
the one to open the panel.

Maybe without knowing it, you took some quite heavy risks
with this set and I'm afraid these will need more maturing
— rendition wise. Except #6 which is, in my book, almost
perfectly rendered but I don't understand it.

Don't get me wrong, the good takes are there but the ren-
ditions make the story telling a bit obscure or the graphic
interests more difficult to appreciate.

Why you? Because I can rely on your judgment!

Melbourne, at night, is a city of stark contrast. It never ceases to amaze me how it looks.

I'm puzzled over your remark about rendition and maturing. I can't quite see how it could be different. There's a mix of different temperature light which would never equate to a 'perfect' balance. The station building is a strong, deep yellow anyway in daylight.

Thanks for your thoughts

I don't mean technique here, I mean communication
and this is part of your artistic intent express through
technical tweaks.

To suggest you some ideas:

Because I am not always clear in English, and sometimes
not understood, does not mean an idea was not good but
just poorly expressed. Thankfully, with time, I got gracious
translators who took the time to say correctly what I meant.
