Thanks so much. Your comments are what I sought to achieve for my vision of this scene

That is how a low key image looks, it is a BW processing style. I will tell you that a year ago I would have said the same thing, now I am game to explore its processing possibilities.

I am good with everything you did with the exception of revealing the ferns on both lower edges of the frame. I think those areas should be darker.

Thanks for taking the trouble to show me an alternate rendering path.

This month's image was rendered in Low Key BW so much of the background is very dark thus taking on the appearance of a vignette. It is something new that I am trying. My goal is to control what in the scene I want to reveal and what will be occluded.

Your submittal was inspired by the earthquake which is pretty cool. A mirroring of the outside wall and then rotating it to create your abstract interpretation of a post earthquake scene is clever indeed

Now if there was a way to infuse cracked and broken glass...

62 Sep 23 Comment Bob,

Did you have an original, curious about if you cropped the shot or not?

Wonderful texture created by the rust.

Looks like the anchor will outlast the planet

Another wonderful shot from you. What is so nice about your choices is they are not something that I would see in a year of shooting so I always enjoy looking at your work.

I think the image is a little "hot" . Pete covered a potential solution so I think that is sufficient

Keep em coming

62 Sep 23 Comment LuAnn,

I like your camera position here. The trees frame the scene, the curved path leads you into the tea house in the background. Nice detail and tone.

I am not a film shooter so I am not able to offer set up type suggestions. I can say keep shooting film. I like your results

Regards

62 Sep 23 Comment Mark,

I like your shot very much. It tells a story that is universal about night life.

I offer a thought about the glare in the window of the diner. I created an object and reduced the highlights and added dehaze (-24 and 40) and to keep things balanced i modified the left window highlights and Dehaze (-20 and 20)

Regards

Emil

62 Sep 23 Comment Hi Pete

Your vision triggered you to stop and take a shot of this old structure. I am glad you did. Your image makes the viewer pause and wonder why the four mail boxes, nobody is picking up the paper etc. Should we have the police do a welfare check?

I had to play off of your title and and make the house more foreboding...not that there is anything you should change about your submission. It is the type of composition that invites alternative renderings

Regards

Emil

AI scares me as well. I limit my use to generative fill to remove unwanted features in my images.

I used a variation of the technique you noted in your comments to remove the fringes, the ones you noted I could not get the clone stamp to fix. I will try your idea now.

Thanks

Thanks for your comments. I will clean up the building and water spots

66 Sep 23 Comment Gary

Glad you got your IR camera body out for a few shots and Vic's Antiques and Uniques is a great place for a shot or two since it is a familiar spot.

I echo Melanie's thoughts on the building and vignette

Regards

Emil

Tranquil scene with splendor in the foreground grass...

Good marks removing the man made structures, you made it into a natural area.

Well done

Emil

66 Sep 23 Comment Charles,

If you are going to push the processing boundaries and display the results this is the right forum to do so.

The colors are amazing, beyond my creative threshold to achieve, bit I like what you did.

66 Sep 23 Comment Jack,

Wonderful scene using a great pocket camera. You do get to some amazing locales...

You have a strong place to start and I know your processing will do it justice. Please share your processed image of Stilted Houses in the future.

Regards

Emil

66 Sep 23 Comment Henry

The Palouse has such a great mix of old barns interspersed in flowing fields of wheat/grain as you show here. You had a great day with this cloud cover to boot.

I offer a different version with a crop to focus on the Butte Barn a little more for your consideration...

Regards

Emil

66 Sep 23 Comment Arik,

I like your choice of camera angle here very much. The dark trunk contrasted by the white foliage on the branch adds nature to the man made Princeton building and the couple enjoying themselves on the steps. This to me makes for a great street walk.

Well done

Emil

To me this image made your trip to South Africa worthwhile. It is truly Powerful as Gary noted.

I like to is situ composition of the family posed in their community with dignity.

IR brings out the detail better than color no question and thankfully it was working perfecting on your trip.

Regards

Emil
