Tick... OR Flick!
One image two treatments. I'd appreciate your honest feedback on both the shot and the treatment. All lens flare was skillfully created in camera. The rest is PP

That treatment you've given it in B&W is magic Peter - well done
That lens flare is great, a very different version of an interesting but hard to photograph building  *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
I'm going to go against the grain. Neither do much for me.
The colours in two are like an old print negative with blown highlights. The B&W image is okay, but the lens flare needs to be cloned or tidied up in the bottom right hand corner, then the image would look better. Sorry if I offend 2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc

I'm With Raskill and Oscar on this one....a little too much lens flare for my liking
 Also on my lcd the b7W looks a little flat....
But thats just my little 'ole opinion...
Sorry Peter - I'm going to be #5.
Not a big fan of this much flare in either treatment. Must be just an illusion but the tower in the B&W seems to be leaning to the left.. Simon

I think it had had a couple too many wines
Come on guys, this is art! It took great skill for these pictures to be developed, stop being down on them!  *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Is there a course I can do, Leon?
I'm obviously missing something!!! Last edited by Manta on Tue Oct 10, 2006 9:44 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Peter - there was a famous song, ”Art for arts sake”, but unfortunately these pics are not art

-------------------------------- I started my life with nothing and I’ve still got most of it left
Peter...if, as Chris says, they are not art...therefore they anti-art, which in itself is an established form of art. If you really want to produce 'non-art' then try and produce 'art' and you may succeed. Got it?
By the way....B&W in this case wins easily.  Regards

Well it looks to me like the flicks are in the majority ATM.
My finger is hovering over the delete button... Peter

#1 Peter - I like this a lot. I honestly don't think the flare kills it.

Unusual for me, I actually prefer to colour. I think the flare may be a little overdone (some of the spots look like jellyfish hovering mid-air - do you have that same recurring nightmare as me?!
). Their proximity to each other says that one of them has a tilt, but that's easily "realligned".
I wouldn't flick it. Even if you accept the criticisms, you might work on it some more, or you might like it as it is...but I reckon give it a couple of months to "mature" somewhere on your disk, and then come back and look at it - that's how I decide the "flicks" (mostly, by that time, even if I don't like it, I just decide to leave it as a "scorecard" for future efforts). So, yeah, I like the colour (jellyfish aside ).
Cheers, MarcL (who might just be "seeing jellyfish" everywhere)
I like the colour version too. Very much as a matter of fact, good work.
