hi all,

I just returned from a 2 and 1/2 month adventure in the great EU. Wonderful time. Learned 2 valuable lessons as well: 1. aussies travel everywhere 2. if you find one, you are near guaranteed a good time!

I had wanted to enter this picture in the contest but it was taken outside the challenge dates. I hope you enjoy. It was captured in Galway Ireland during a street festival in July.



comments and critiques welcome.

cheers!

Outstanding shot Storm. I think a lot of members would be secretly glad you weren't able to enter it in the Challenge. I still haven't got a shot yet and this one has scared me off no end - if this is the calibre I'll be up against!

Great work.

Great shot I like the fisheyey you have of the street as well

Awesome - imagine using a bubble as a lens

Excellent shot Tom. How does it look in colour?

Your reflection almost makes it look like you were blowing bubbles.

Cheer, Mick

I will post the color image within the next 24 hours. it was really busy but intruiging. the bw really cleaned it up to see the reflections. thanks for all the feedback! [/quote]

with the colour version try pushing the sharpening this will probably increase the clarity of the reflection

Unbelievable shot! VERY VERY nice!

I first tought it was a circular 180deg diagonal fisheye...

Wow....that is an awesome shot...brilliant....

this is the origional shot. let me know what you think. I am going to try to push the sharpening up as suggested.

Wow, great shot, the B&W definatly looks better, you got the DOF spot on too

Colour shot looks great too. Probably look really good as a square crop IMHO. Cheers, Mick

And here I was expecting to see the head on a pint of Guiness

That's a surreal and brilliant shot, well done.

thanks again for your comments and such. it really is a joy to be able to swap ideas.
many of the images I had stored on cds while traveling were corrupt when I returned home. I still havent' figured out why but thankfully this one was still intact. I will be posting a thread in the comming days questioning how cds can become corrupt in travel outside of the normal things like heat and cold and abrasion. I am still confused about that.

cheers!

Storm - that bw treatment really works a treat on this image - an absolute stunner

I must admit - I was expecting either Guinness or Coopers

Wow, wonderful image Storm. Great b/w conversion
