Mary, I always hope that our various (seen-with-new-eyes) comments and perspectives will lead you, and the other photogs, to consider more options, have more ideas, and thus make better art. I will look forward to your experiment. |

Hey Linda,
I like this rusty look of this old boat and how you've emphasized it in your processing. You've added so much to the scene and at the same time helped the viewer focus on the subject.
I wonder if a less yellow version would be an improvement - bringing back some of the whiteness of the upper boat parts.… One way might be to try a blue photo filter say at at 10%, either everywhere, or selectively on the boat's white areas?

A harbinger of Spring indeed. Great capture and processing to get all that detail. Two thoughts - maybe flip the image and add perhaps a bit of color to the background. I chose green since it's the complement of the fuchsia color.

Denise -This is very cool! and a great experiment. I like what you've done with it, and can just imagine this image hanging on a wall. I love the swirls and the mild electrification, and the way the eye zooms into the eye-like center.
Two thoughts on your image: it's often useful to "clean-up" the photo by cloning or content-aware fill before starting on the abstraction journey. (For example, that thing in the lower middle) And, to me, the upper right corner's vignette seems a little too dark, as it pulls my eye away.
BTW, I too have been busy creating abstracts lately. Indeed I have been posting some to an Abstract Photography Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1684096905222992/?multi_permalinks=2864448693854468¬if_id=1649338459848339¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif. FUN!

This is a fascinating story; thanks for sharing. I really like the photo you have created in camera, and also what you have done to it in processing. I think the sun/star is part of that specialness.
Here's a version that starts with your original, crops to focus more on the story and then does a shadow and highlight adjustment, rather than a full-blown HDR. Looking for more dramatic light, I tried a candlelight.CUBE color lookup adj. layer, added a warming photo filter at 25%, and then brightened that foreground, onlooker rock a tad. What do you think?

Connie, I'm just going to "ditto" to Mary's comments. GREAT image, and excellent processing!!! And ditto on the maybe tone down that bit of orange.
