luigi bertolotti Posted January 9, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 9, 2009 Fine view... I appreciate in particular the h/v proportions (which someway "reduce" the WA effect cutting away "unneccesary" space in foreground) and, let me say, the "ambiguity" of toning (is it a bw or a color ??? ) Do you think is worth some global toning with sepia or similar ? I guess one can achieve a very fine large print, with an apt paper... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted January 9, 2009 Thanks, Luigi Yes, it is indeed a "sandwich" of the original image and a B&W conversion.I see what you mean by toning, but I think I do not want to manipulate the colours more, I am afraid to lose the mood.

vdb Posted January 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 9, 2009 Great image with distinct mood. The toning creates a sense of stillness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted January 9, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 9, 2009 Jaap, Nice picture of this birth place of compositor Smetana I like the original picture may be a little romantic like his music.... Mla vast La Moldau:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted January 9, 2009 Share #8 Posted January 9, 2009 Jaap - Beautiful in its simplicity, and it makes me think of the book Smila's Sense of Snow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
