Fantastic Image.

i dunno why, but i would love to see everything in the image symmetric. with some cloning it would look very nice (to me anyways)

This image is begging for MORE contrast and MORE saturation!!! Please repost when you've had a play! :)

You guys are so picky :)

Ok, more contrast/saturation when I get home. My entire weekend will be spent doing this JUST for Geoff :P :P :P

Kris - there are two factors in play with this shot. One being your statement re this is how the colours looked when shot - this brings into play the second factor, saturation and contrast. Personally I find both saturation and contrast in this photo to be just about perfect. The subject alone demands that it is not over saturated as this would destroy the look and feel.

I like this pic just the way you have shot it :)

I'm with Chris, Kris.

This image needs no further work.

Hands Off!

I didn't mean to OVER saturate it, just add some more. Funny how we each have different opinions on one image :)

I too like the image the way it is, but I think it'd be even better with what I suggested :lol: :lol:

Thanks Guys! Yep, everyone is different. I feel its saturated ok also - its just strange how the colors all came out , even the dirty moss around the step. Only thing I dislike is the door is a bit wonky! :(

Thanks for the comments

It seems everything hinges on saturation levels...sorry BTW, I think it needs to be completely desaturated to BW! :D

I had a look at the image at work first, but now at home, on the calibrated and profiled display it looks so much better! I agree with Chris, leave it as it is.

If you don't live too far I could pop by with my Monaco OptixXR and calibrate your monitor. That should get you started, but in the long run you'll want to buy one of those colorimeters youself...

Cheers
Steffen.

I like the shot Kris and I am keen to see the other versions when they are up.
My sister took over one hundre images of doors while she went through Europe. It made for an interesting set of holiday snaps. Then, she is an architect :D

Thanks Steffen, that would be great! I live in Randwick - maybe a bit far from you though? Happy to shout you some beers and some grub your efforts..

Thanks guys for the input, I think it looks fairly good and the colors about right. Guys feel free to edit it as you wish
