And of course I am kidding in my above words. Now then, your image here ...
Took a look at your galleries to date and it certainly appears that you know your way around a camera and lens. Fresh perspectives offered and welcomed. :o)
Caveats? Blew out the highlights a tad in the left hand side (this perspective). I don't usually lead into commentaries with the caveats stuff ... however, I am curious if the application of the tinting/colourations was a bit of 'save' in reference to the overexposed area?
No slights intended, Curious Les, I am. That's all.
This could not have been an easy shot to take. So, kudos on challenging yourself and more than accomplishing the conceptual side of your image/title ... as this one does indeed look 'dirty'.
Looking forward to seeing more work from your mind's eye and camera.
Thanks everyone for the comemts...and to Les, I just used the ACDSee application with this shot. It was not over exposed in the orginal shot. It's really and excellent shot itself. I just wanted this shot to look much dirtier than it was. So I changed this shot to Sepia and played with the levels and the gamma and contrast a bit. I really like how it turned out too!
sike naw
but you did such a BEAUTIFUL JOB :O
