Sweet Home

Brilliant!

Beautiful effects and nice tones.

terrific visualization!

it is simple. the pics of the arcs are take without flashes with flat light ( cloudy sky in italy). the sky is a separete photo of a sunset in Tübinge . The rest is digital darkroom work.

This is a real winner, very good!

Great composition.

Is this a digital manipulated photo?

The light seems wrong unless a fill in flash was used.

 

Gives us details.

Am I the only one not to like this picture??

I think this image has some room for improvment.... - the right hand side arches are too obviously mirrored (some selective cloning would fix that), the lighting is mismatched between foreground and background so severely that it has that cut-out look (this is further degraded by the light spilling in from the far left and the masking being a little bit out) -- look at the hills in the distance - they are in front of the clouds and are pretty much black, yet the foreground is well lit?!? To look real the foreground needs to be darkened down a far bit, maybe leaving some rim lighting on the edges (keep in mind that the lighting should also be different between the mirrored sides). Also there seems to be a slight degree of mismatch in the colouration of the foreground and background? There is also a depth that is created by the mirrored foreground that isn't matched by the background? Perhaps the background needs to be a bit smaller (seemingly more distant?). I think this image would also probably benefit from an overall colour treatment to make it more moody or dramatic (as I assume the intention perhaps is?)....

Thank You for the observations. You are right in several points and this picture can be improved by.... many ways...

After reading all comments I decided to take the elements of all ideas and make something new...

Here the two pictures I've taken for the montage.

Photographic montages in the digital darkroom can be quite a complex and difficult task. Keep up the experimentation Robert! A good attempt. P.S. If you try and match your lighting between images you plan to build together when you shoot them you will find it will make for a considerably better image with less post-production work in Photoshop. --Tristan.

very good work!

simply 7-7

nice Portovenere, Robert!!!
