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

...

I like it, personally #1 does it for me...

Chris

black and white for sure with me!

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

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

Sorry Peter, in both of these I think the lens flare is overdone - neither of the shots work for me. Cheers, Mick

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...

4 in a row. Neither are to your normal standard.

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..

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!

Is there a course I can do, Leon?
I'm obviously missing something!!!

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

ouch, your critics are quite demanding eh... i like the color version...

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.

Well it looks to me like the flicks are in the majority ATM.

My finger is hovering over the delete button...

Don't you do it!! Then I'll have to go back and rip out just about every shot I've ever posted here!!!

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

10cc - art for arts sake. You try something different. If you like the result that is what counts.

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.
