Red wall with vignette

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Red wall with vignette

Postby Willy wombat on Wed Jul 02, 2008 6:42 pm

Some lovely fall colours I captured in Melbourne a few weeks ago with additional vignette applied to frame and emphasise.

Happy to take comments on both the photo and the vignette effect (thanks also to Bruce for showing me the way to apply a vignette easily using PS).

Cheers
Steve

That is one bloody beautiful image! And probably has commercial value.

Thanks Matt. I hope it can generate a commercial return for me. I think it would look nice printed large and framed. I guess plastering it all over the web isnt a great way to do this though? Its for sale on my Red Bubble site where people can buy for low low prices :lol:

Outstanding. Its true the simple things often give the best result. Vibrant Red against an interesting background = a stunning image

Reminiscent of some of Munch's paintings (The Virginia Creeper ones), though they were altogether more creepy.

The vignette works very well with the bright reds! It contrasts quite nicely!
Good job :D
