Tell me what u think...

definetly a different perspective, interesting how many different ways one can manipulate a single photo to have such drasticly different results. I like the angle and crop The colors don't really work for me though (haha, and yes i know i took the photo) which is why I approached with the method I did.

I think you went way overboard with the processing. You have huge halos around your rungs from the USM and it's not entirely clear what the subject is supposed to be.

thanks for the comments, great landscape shots on your site what gear do you use?

D70 + kit lens on pretty much all the landscapes. 180/2.8 and 85/1.4 on the portraits.

yet another attempt

 

[virtuamike]

My try

Sepia/blue duotone conversion, dodge n burn, reverse curve to recover shadows and bring down highlights, resize sharpen & save.

virtuamike, are your other galleries not ready yet? I can only get to landscape01.html.

Yup, only landscapes are up. I'm still trying to pick out which pictures to put in the other galleries.

I don't typically alter my images (well beyond slight brightness/contrast and USM), however I made an exception on this specific one. I was wondering if it worked for anyone else but myself.

edit: added original...just seemed too blah for me

Just went through all of your photos, must say I like a lot of your work

same here, the effects too much on the redone one.
