Description Okay... no, this isn't a manipulation... the potted plants are behind very old and very dirty windows which gave this effect.... (and yes, I should have lowered the camera a bit)

I think the angle is fine, I just wish there was more space left on the left side (or some crop from ther top). The effect is very nice, looks like a painting with watercolors, left out in the rain. Very atmospheric.

If you've got photoshop, you might play around with filters/sharpen/unsharp mask and see if you get any improvement.
I think it's a great idea, but it comes across as very muddy.
I think that maybe if one or two of the flowers should be a little more 'in focus' it would work better.

Tachy-on In reply to oaksong [2005-08-25 17:57:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I think the unsharpness comes mostly from the fact that the window was soooo dirty and old... I tried to sharpen it more, but the result didn't look very realistic... thanks for the comment!

I don't know that I like this one it looks more like a painting than a photograph...but I must admit it is a cool idea. I guess I'm more a crisp colorful type of person adn this kind of well depresses me...like tear drops ran the colors together or something..

Good picture, almost looks like a painting! And no, you don't have to look further down, it is good as it is since the bluish-greenish color is so intriguing! However, it seems as if the picture is leaning a little to the right, but maybe that's just me... keep it up!

AmethystLightning [2005-04-16 00:51:03 +0000 UTC]

Nu-uh, I don't think you should have lowerd the camera. I like the blue gradient that is shown at the top . I love what you choose to take pictures of. I imagine you've got an imaginary veiwfinder framing everything you look at, like me. lol

Tachy-on In reply to AmethystLightning [2005-04-17 00:46:13 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I don't think it should have been lowered now either.

Nope, I just have contacts. lol.

interesting and cool... not something i'd hang on my wall but at the very least the beginings of such a thing. maybe a little more saturation or something to bring out the contrast. anyway i quite like it.

Tachy-on In reply to altjeringa [2004-12-02 21:10:02 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you like it. Believe it or not I've already added saturation and contrast to it... this is as far as I could go with it without losing important middle tones and it starting to look unnatural...

I'm not completely conviced that the camera should be lowered, I think this perspective is a good one, it gives more room to the texture of the window. You do abstracts very well. This scene reminds me of a little english cottage on a rainy day, and because I can't see anything to break the illusion, which in this case is a good thing I believe.

Thank you. Do you think the contrast should be bumped up a bit?

Hmm... I like it just the way it is. You would have to just try it, and see how it comes out. I can't predict with this one.

Yeah, I really like the colors... if it wasn't for the dirty window this would have been just something very ordinary.

Thank you... I've tried 3 different borders now though, and I can't seem to find one that fits - maybe there should be no border at all...
