aepelbacher 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Good shapes and textures and tones here, Doug. Do you have the color shot? Could you do something extreme with the levels and/or color balance to get something really funky and abstract with this? Hmmm.... Link to comment
dmo_galleries_chicago_phot 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Thanks, Lou Ann. I do have the color version, which I can post, although it doesn't look all that different. It could be fun to play with. Link to comment
LindaM 2 Posted March 31, 2008 i have a collection of rocks, much like these, tumbled smooth in Lake Superior. i have been carting them around since i was a kid. we moved once when i was fourteen. my dad carried a couple of shoeboxes to my room and asked "what do you have in these? rocks?!!!!" was he ever mad!!!! but i still have those same rocks all these years later.

dmo_galleries_chicago_phot 0 Posted March 31, 2008 That's funny. These rocks were sitting in a planter outside a fancy furniture store. I wish they were my rocks, because they're pretty and would look nice in my condo. Then again, I guess rocks aren't all that hard to come by and I could probably pick some up. Link to comment

raybrizzi 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Yes, Linda, it reminds me of a shot I took at Lake Ontario at Oswego back in '73. Except mine had a dead shining silvery fish at one end. A bit more contrast would help, especially in the shadows. Link to comment
dmo_galleries_chicago_phot 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks, Ray. I did a version with more contrast at first, but it just didn't look like it had to my naked eye. While I see the value in contrast, I found the steady but subtle shifts in grays here to be soothing. But maybe I'm wrong. I'll post the alternate version to see what you and others think. I appreciate you weighing in. Link to comment
tonmestrom 4 Posted April 3, 2008 you should print this one large, real large and it will look spectacular Link to comment
raybrizzi 0 Posted April 4, 2008 Looking at it again, I think you're right. The smoothness of the gray gradations is much easier to look at. Link to comment
