As I said nothing personal here and you have shown good pics. I would certainly not say anything about people that I never met even if pics say a lot on personality.
Besides that it’s great to read your CV but I wont get into the fight.
Yes your crop is good and I like the ironwork.
I use LAB conversion often (I am BW freaked…) : LAB is a mode like RGB; HLS or CMYK (in PS image –> mode –> LAB).
Instead of 3 channels R G B you have a channel L for lightness and channels a and b for the colors. It’s the L channel which is interesting : it can be used for sharpening and gives far better sharpening than any filter that I tried, it can be used to push the colors, or if you delete the 2 color channels and go back to RGB, it gives you a better BW conversion than any other method that I know of (IMO).
Then you can work the BW pic.Hope this helps.
John, you know, when I was a child the Dead Sea wasn’t even sick…
Don’t take it personal shaneh : it was not.
difficult to say why without your settings.
Print is always tricky. Have you tried different ICC ? There are huge differences between prophoto, adobe and srgb.
With srgb I have often a magenta cast.This one is great !
Great light, good diagonal composition.sorry probably a language barrier but my critics are never personal : I always speak about the picture never about the person : shaneh has shown good pics but here… I took the time to explain why I was thinking it was bad and I didn’t write the s… word !
And I really use bad pics to show what not to do (flickr is a real mine) besides good ones to show what to try to do. I find that’s the best way to learn.
Apparently he himself was conscious that his pic was very bad.To humor you I will not use it. š
You can post all you want but here I don’t see where the light painting is except if it was you running really fast on the road like the roadrunner ?
I like the cropped version.
You could have left more of the pavement in the foreground.@michael-lloyd interesting.
@el-dub could be good in BW too with a LAB conversion.I don’t know what was your idea here but you have done the perfect photo of “what not to do” !
I have a brewer as customer and if I showed her that pic I most probably would have to find a new customer.
The geometry is completely wrong not only the bottle as said by @fraser but the glass too.
Maybe you can try to sale the background to Mattel but then you’ll be in trouble for trying to sale beer to little girls.
The highlights are cyan, would you drink a beer with a foam of that color.
But the worst is you lighting : all the light is coming from the back and so the labels are in the shadow which is exactly what a client wouldn’t want !
For this kind of pic you need some backlight to emphasize the transparency but the main lighting has to come from the front left or right with very carefully studied reflections.This kind of pack shot is very tricky to do. That’s the reason why most of these pictures are generated by computer today : nobody want’s to pay one or two days of shooting for just one or 2 images while when the bottles and glasses are digitized, it takes 1 hour to a computer geek to do it.
I think I’ll keep your pic to show it to my students š
and was he “eyeing little girls with bad intent” ?
How did you shoot this pic ? With what kind of lighting ?
Besides that you have a pic to show ?
Very moody pic.
It miss shadows on the background to give a feeling of depth but it would be easy to add a background.That gives a great title.
I just try not to comment this kind of pic except for obvious technical flaws…
