michael_ward1 0 Posted March 13, 2003 This is a very effective image, with the birds silhouetted against the clouds, but I've never heard of pigeons refered to as ill omened before. Is this something local to the Bordeaux region? Link to comment
fred_j._lord 0 Posted March 13, 2003 I feel the mood of the image. Is it just the dark somber feeling that you are referring to that is peculiar to this image or is it something else more local in origin? The night call of the Whip-poor-will is said to be a bad omen in some parts of the USA. Link to comment
peterneibert 0 Posted March 13, 2003 Alex, Crop is judicious: it refines and focuses the mood of the original picture. So, my question is, what is the original picture? BW? The monitor conveys an unmistakable blue but photoshop doesn't know what to make of it (calls it RGB with no identifiable profile) and there's some, but not much, color information in the file.

alex marsaud 0 Posted March 14, 2003 Nothing like superstition with french pigeons... It's just that the storm was coming strong, as you can see on the pic, and these lovely bird were resting here, looking like they could not care less. They might aswell have been heralding the tempest coming. About the colours, yes it was originally taken in colour film, and nothing was done in PS but for a few minor tweaking (sharpness, slight saturation, made darker...) That's all folks!
