Yes the manipulation was to hide some flaws in this Ektachrome slide film scan. Would I have been using a digital SLR then, I would not be torturing myself now for not taking more shots.
That has a great retro feel to it, probably because of the texture and the way the colours and the bike echo the sixties hippy thing without being "like" the sixties. I like it.
Mikel.
I love it!
The manipulation gallery was created for the ones who are changing their photos by computer (topic, colors, skies, ...), not for hiding flaws. I often do it with my numeric captures.
I placed your work in the 'Photography->City' (Congrats!)
Is it right for you?
