He used to be so beautiful. t/y for looking.

Nice image!

Pretty cool Richard!

I am not against experimenting but I just wonder if you could have got more character into the image by snapping it and not altering it. I do like the vantage point.

Excellent processing and POV ..................... Good work

You made an image with great impact in a fine processing, congrats.

But as david reflects on, would indeed be interesting to see some day a version in a fine processing, but without the altering.

Anyway, I don't think photoshop is a desease, and you did a great job, and created an image with a sence of humor in it

Piet

Glad you all liked it for one reason or another. Indeed, this isn't a 'serious' attempt at the scenary, just an experiment as David suggests, but we should remember this is posted in the 'digital alterations' section so expect to find 'digital art' or whatever you want to call it :). I wouldn't call it a photograph anymore, but that's not important to me.

 

I simply stumbled upon this old tractor while walking the dogs and took a few shots of it. I hope to return when the whether is 'right' and take a 'photography', but it's been too clouded over of late and not cold enough.

This image took my eye. Very nice colours and lighting. Congrats.

Thank you Ray - glad you liked it!

 

Just a note to Piet & David - I uploaded a 'straight' photograph (unmanipulated) of this 'beast' in my Landscape folder if you care to look. It's a simple ACR conversion, no textures or multiple layers! Hope it helps give you a perspective.

well seen and worked. a masterpiece!

From the moment one decides to "treat" a photography, it is a question of finding when what is on the screen is matching one's 'vision' and then on, to be able to make others see it...

This photo is a great photo from my point of view.

Thank you Zsolt & Lombard!

 

Lombard, I agree, it can be a difficult processing to make the viewer see what you have seen. I think it helps if you visualise it at the acutal scene, rather than simply on the PC, but it's about keeping the thought process as consistant as possible to make the atmosphere or message clear I guess :)
