Lavender

I wonder what this would stir up as POW.

Hmmm, photo taken with camera on film, color added in photoshop. Interesting. I am still laughing. Not sure if you meant it to be funny, but I am definitely laughing.

I can handle criticism, but I'd appreciate it if you don't ridicule my work like that.

Sorry James, but I think it's a bit odd that you post this and expect that noone will ridicule it. I am tempted to... I'll not rate this...

Was this made with MSPaint or what? Maybe he thinks he loaded a toned photo or something? All we see is a purple square? WTF?

Read the technical description before you complain. The alteration was done in photoshop. MS Paint is for amateurs.
And actually, it's more lavender than purple. Then again, it might look purple on your screen. I think you'd appreciate it more with a properly calibrated monitor.

This needs to be POW, just as an editorial troll.

Lavender? What Lavender?

Stop wasting space on photo.net. What in thwe world is this

PS or paint is irrelevant. Its crap and this has nothing to do with photograpy.

It's unfortunate that you can't accept the digital tools that are revolutionizing photography.

The composition is flawless. Excellent DOF. The right-bottom corner (that lavender spot) a bit distracting, though. Beautiful picture - overall.

I think it is a bit moved, and shadows are kinda flat.

I can't believe you are getting 1's and 2's on this. It must be from boring old traditionalists who only like B&W images!

"It's unfortunate that you can't accept the digital tools that are revolutionizing photography." It's also unfortunate that you think that this sort of thing is a digital tool which will revolutionize photography. There's a pretty coarse line between photography and art, and I'm pretty sure this steps over it. Whether it's good art or not is another issue. Oh, and you could do this sort of thing before photoshop too.

 

However, I made something like this once myself as well, when I was 5.

YOU RIP-OFF!!!! I took this years ago. See you in court.

When I looked at it in large size it made more sense. Scale is effective in some images. What I think this image lacks in composition, it more than compensates for in sterility of chromatic variation. The question we need to ask is what would Ansel Adams have done with this subject? What zonal placement would he have given it? And what developmental compensations? Would he have considered this an N+1 ? By the way, thanks for bringing out the stuffy attitudes that run through Photo.net.

Have you tried this in B&W? I think the colors are a bit over saturated.

I don't know if it's the long focal length, or what, but it sure comes across as rather flat. With this kind of lighting, I'm also not sure I would have gone with Kodak 400. And now that I think of it, I may have cropped it a little tighter. However, I think the basic elements are there, good subject matter, even lighting, nice saturation. I wouldn't make this one black&white, though. I think it may lose it's certain "je ne sais quois."

Brilliant. You are a mad, mad genius. I think what "Lavender" represents is the futility of mankind. A quest for deep-rooted consciousness. A thirst, if you will, for obtusity.

 

I don't know if I like the color, though.

The focus is a little off, but otherwise a compelling shot.
