dee 14 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Oh, I like this! So crisp and clean... Has a vintage look, but not quite... Nice job! Link to comment
lbattjes 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Nice shot, Julius! I like the carriage most of all. The horse is lost in the highlights, but it works for me here, especially because of the way you treated the edges. I get the feeling that the whole shot is fading away and that the only tangible thing left is the carriage itself. I like that effect. I'm curious how a sepia or quadtone version would look. Just a thought. Leslie Link to comment
JohnMWright 1 Posted August 17, 2007 Wonderful postprocess work on this. This reminds me of Williamsburg. Very vintage in my mind, perhaps dreamlike. Link to comment
Jebamony 3 Posted August 17, 2007 Thank you ~ all.Darren ~ Your comment makes me happy. I was going for a "vintage look, but not quite.. ". I guess it worked.John ~ I am glad this reminds you of Williamsburg! This is from Williamsburg.Leslie ~ Why don't you try the sepia or quad tone version? I'd love to see what you come up with.All ~ The attached is the original. Am I doing ok with post processing?.J3 Link to comment
shuki22 0 Posted August 17, 2007 Very original Julius,when did you shot it? 100 years ago? best regards Link to comment
lbattjes 0 Posted August 18, 2007 Okay, Julius...I took you up on it and here's a couple of samples. What do you think? Les Link to comment
mvisionphotography 1 Posted August 21, 2007 I like it bbecause you made it feel like the holiday time. Very, oh what is that word. Norman Rockwell(ish) or whatever those COOKIES are that everyone gets. I like the fele that there is snow on the ground even if there isn't. I also like the fact that I know in an instant that it IS Christmas time. You feel it in the air. I also llike the smooth edges. You did a FINE job on this. I only wish I could see SNOW in FLORIDA :( Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted August 24, 2007 Your original has just the right snap and pop. Currier and Ives anyone? Great shot and very nice, very appropriate, very well done, and very creative post processing work. It makes total sense to me and I love the image. Is that a headless horse? Link to comment
Jebamony 3 Posted August 29, 2007 Thank You ~ All. Leslie ~ I really like your "tritone 1". I was hoping that you'd try it on the original [unedited version]. Shuki ~ Yes indeed, when I was much younger :O) J3 Link to comment
jan_piller 0 Posted September 4, 2007 THis is beautiful - I love the vignetting you've given also - so appropriate for this image! NOw - the nitpick... where is the horses head? hahahaha I presume his head is bowed down - just wish it had been up and visible. Link to comment
satishmenonphoto 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Julius, this one is awesome. Love it in every respect. Link to comment
anthonyd 0 Posted September 11, 2007 I would have done this with an even more antique feel to it. I'm glad you did it your way. It so clean this way. It's like looking at an old photo, but looking at it when it was originally shot instead of years later. It really works for me! Link to comment
