stormy weather

playing with photoshop. what do y'all think?

Love it. Might be even better as pure b&w.

Great mood.

thank you Bill and Mathius. Bill, i personally like the mood the colors give this. i have played with converting it to black and white at your suggestion, but i just don't think it works as well.

Ooh, Linda - a couple that seem a little bit outside of your typical. I like this a lot ... you conveyed the stormy feeling very well. I like the sepia tones, too.

thanks LouAnn. these are different from what i usually do. i have been playing with layers and masks to get some different effects. i really wanted to create a mood with this one. i would like to do more of these when i have the time. the south is full of interesting buildings, in various states of disrepair or decay. they make for some interesting textures and stories. of course, i will continue to shoot the other images as well :-)

I like it as it is too, Linda... nice work...have fun....regards

I don't know how I managed to miss this when you first posted it but it's a great picture. Stormy weather is right, looks like the whole kit and kaboodle is about to sail off to the next county.

Very nice!

I am very fond of this kind of light, sky and lowly lighted colors (in the sense of unagressive colors)...I also like contrasted and flashy ones but those here are special as it bring a kind of quiet yet powerful ambience...the powerful calm before or after the storm should I call it...a very nice image.

what do you think? i think it is gorgeous! will visit your portfolio often ...wish i had more time to do so this second!

Your pictures of the South recall to me the works of Walker Evans. This is a finely toned and exposed photograph, one of my favorite in your portfolio.

Hi Linda, thanks for your comments. I love this moody image. The sky , the tones , and the lighting are amazing. Congrats.

Really very impressing picture. Tone is great and i like this composition too.

Thank you for sharing!
