Advertisement Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Hi sharookh, Take a look here Three generations….... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
A miller Posted September 7, 2014 Share #2 Posted September 7, 2014 Love the placement of the subjects and the architectural history lesson. I also like the tone rendering. Others probably also work, as well, particularly given the strength of the composition. The only thing I would draw your attention to are the halos of highlights around the buildings. I don't think these were intentional, and in most cases reflect that there may be a little too much PP. I might suggest that you reverse engineer the processing and then rebuild it up to the point that there are no halos. One other thing that I always look for (and don't alway catch or have the ability to adequately address) is that the tones in the sky are consistent and that there aren't subtle blotches of darker areas (that weren't actually in the scene). The culprits of these two artifacts (halos and inconsistent halos in the sky) are typically the structure sliders and the soft contrast slider in Silver Efex Pro. Not sure what you are using... Just my two cents! Best, Adam 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my two cents! Best, Adam Adam, I agree. I really like basic visual just not a fan of the processing. Almost looks like uneven negative development and some obvious burning/dodging... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharookh Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted September 8, 2014 Adam, AB - Thanks for your inputs. I appreciate the 'heads up'! I'm attaching below a differently processed file of the image. But the look I was aiming for was one of 'abstraction' not architecture as this image displays. I saw the possibility of throwing the image out from what I saw, and converting it into something abstract. The post processing was not lost on me, and is perhaps deliberate, as you have seen. But this just confirms that there are so many ways of looking at a subject and interpreting it the way you imagined. And frankly the original is what I imagined. So please bear with me guys……. Many thanks again for your comments…..as always appreciated. Welcome, dear visitor!

A miller Posted September 8, 2014 Share #5 Posted September 8, 2014 Much much better. For a more direct comparison, you could add the same toning and grain back in, and i'll bet that you have a rendering along the same lines as your first photo only with a much cleaner and polished look. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauledell Posted September 8, 2014 Share #7 Posted September 8, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) The second version is much more appealing in my opinion. Paul 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnK Posted September 28, 2014 Share #10 Posted September 28, 2014 I like the O.A composition, probably the best example of negative space, IMO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
