Advertisement Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Hi Peter H, Take a look here The Pool of Life and Death. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pauledell Posted February 24, 2014 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2014 Peter, A fine picture with the great composition, nice colors and sharpness. How would it look in b&w? Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted February 24, 2014 Paul, thanks for the consistent interest you show in all manner of photos, and your constructive comments which I always welcome and appreciate, as I know many others do too. I've tried various B&W conversions but I'm not happy with any of them, largely because the tonal range doesn't match the composition to my eyes, in other words where the greatest contrast falls is not where the greatest interest lies; there seems to be a conflict between the shapes and the tones. But I'm also seeing a problem with the colours as they appear in the forum, which is perhaps due to the lower resolution of these highly compressed files. They certainly don't have the depth and vividness and/or contrast that I'm seeing on my monitor or on prints. I think I might have to rethink how I post photos.

pauledell Posted February 24, 2014 Share #4 Posted February 24, 2014 Peter, Thanks for your kind words. As I mentioned the b&w approach, I , myself was not at all certain that it would work well. It is just a thought to consider. I do not try to do any experiments on other member's pictures as I consider it unethical. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

platypus Posted February 24, 2014 Share #6 Posted February 24, 2014 Peter, Thanks for your kind words. As I mentioned the b&w approach, I , myself was not at all certain that it would work well. It is just a thought to consider. I do not try to do any experiments on other member's pictures as I consider it unethical. Paul Paul. I was very interested to see this comment regarding attempts at "improving" the images of others (particularly without their permission). That it should be made by someone on the forum as august as yourself adds weight to it. I have been trying to make this point for some time, without success. Of course, as you indicate, it is a matter of personal ethics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted February 24, 2014 Share #7 Posted February 24, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Peter, a strong abstract image with subtle undercurrents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks Paul, Stuart and Dee for your thoughtful comments. And Paul, I was very happy to have your suggestion about trying it in B&W. It's a compliment that any photograph is considered interesting enough to be worth thinking about alternative treatments so I certainly wouldn't take offence at any suggestion, especially such well-intended ones as yours. And I do take your point about editing other people's photos without their consent, which doesn't seem right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
