Re: Challenge 920: Seafaring photographers
Nice work everybody. My favourite is Ben Boardman's entry.
Vibeke either reduce the foreground contrast and, or, reduce the stark blacks by using the Shadows and Highlights tool to match the "subdued" background and all will be well.

Re: Challenge 920: Seafaring photographers
Well now Michael, as is often the case, I am not always a fan of your use of Highlight/Shadow. Whilst I appreciate completely what you are trying to do, I think you have rendered the image very slightly 'flabby'. I would have preferred that you adjust the background to the richness of the foreground. But that's of course totally subjective. I love dense blacks whereas you have a tendency to like them filled with detail. I love the way these challenges bring out not just different techniques but different perceptions too. Makes it all so much more interesting. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 920: Seafaring photographers
This is an attempt that, I certainly have no reason to feel bad about, but which I feel I have not really pulled off. I wanted to create a figure made completely out of water. This is not a creature rising out of the water, but the water itself rising and morphing into 'human' form. This is a venture into completely new territory for me and I really hope to hear your opinions and suggestions as to what I could, or should, be doing differently to give this more conviction. You can click to view large or click twice to view extra large. I have left it very high res so you can assess the positives and negatives in full detail.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
