Red and White

Your Comments are welcomed.

Thank You

A little PS work would make this picture absolutely perfect. I like your idea, and it it has a nostalgic feel to it. Here's what I would improve....1, the crop is at a very slight angle, so the building feels like its leaning to the left. 2, its a little dark, I would brighten it up a bit without losing detail. 3, I like the bench in the frame, but the part of the building to the left of it doesnt really appeal to me very much, I dont think it would hurt to crop it up to or near the bench. 4, I would try to get the full reflection of the pillars on the roof. Last but not least, 5, we live in a cluttered world unfortunately, depending on how much of a purist you are, I would PS the utility wires out of the image. To me it kind of ruins the timeless sense of the building and old phonebooth.

here's my version, this will give you a better idea.

or here, without the reflection of the utility wires :)

Thanks for the great comments and help. I'm gradually getting to grips with PS.

Its a fantastic peice of software and takes a lot of exploration.At the moment haven't gone much further than dodging,burning and levels etc, I'm on the case though.

Thanks again. Regards Tony

Allison Whitt has left a great comment, i wish i'd see more like this on PN. I fully agree with her. I especially would prefer to see the entire buliding in water reflection (it is what bothers me the most, but maybe it was not possible). But i like very much the picture and its mood, as it is, i almost can see the "3 men in a boat" of Jerome K. Jerome passing through the pic !

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the comment. I am certainly going to try the things you suggest.

I have several other shots of this building and location which I will be posting soon.

Thanks again, Tony
