tc_reed 0 Posted January 2, 2004 The snow was coming down pretty hard when taking this photo. Link to comment
jennifercatron 9 Posted January 2, 2004 Nice job. A little weak on composition, but not bad. The effects are not overdone. Nice one. Link to comment
DavidRabinowitz 9 Posted January 2, 2004 beautiful image. looks like a sketch, something I've been trying to do for some time without great success. Link to comment
niels olson 0 Posted January 2, 2004 I disagree with Jennifer - effects are overdone. Link to comment
dennis_schoeller 0 Posted January 2, 2004 Well, I like the composition...in my eye simplicity works. I'm just not a fan of the digital enhancement stuff. But, to each his/her own. I think you did well with it. Link to comment
california-seascapes-photo 0 Posted January 2, 2004 I like it. I have tried a few of these, but it was never snowing hard enough to be noticable. Some people don't like frames around their photos, but I think this one might benefit from a simple black border, but that is up to you of course. Link to comment
tc_reed 0 Posted January 2, 2004 +Remember, it has been altered to look like a charcoal drawing. No camera was shaking. This is what a drawing looks like. I do agree that the effects might be a tad overdone. I was not sure where a good cutoff point would be. After trying several alterations, I stopped with this one. Thank you for all of your comments. I know some don't like digitally altered photo's. For me, it's all about learning. See original above. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted January 2, 2004 I found this one a little hard to look at - my eyes keep wanting to try and focus and make it sharper. It looks like it started off being a nice enough composition and I think maybe you could try some other effects that might work better. Link to comment
tc_reed 0 Posted January 2, 2004 You win! I like yours much better. Nice choice on frame too! :) Link to comment
tc_reed 0 Posted January 2, 2004 Thank you, John, for the 1/1 rating you gave this photo. I take it you reeeeeally hate altered photo's. But, the question is: does this really warrant the lowest rating possible. Even on creativity? I appreciate your sound opinion either way. I too have not always appreciated a photo here and there myself. :) Link to comment
california-seascapes-photo 0 Posted January 2, 2004 Wow! What did you do to Mr. John Stark to make him angry (-: (1,1 rating?) I agree this would be much better if you could remove the blur. Link to comment
tc_reed 0 Posted January 2, 2004 You're right about it bothering the eyes. Mine have become use to it now. Takes about an hour of staring at it. ;) I have a second version that is not as hard on the eyes. Link to comment
tc_reed 0 Posted January 2, 2004 I think John wanted to make his opinion very clear for me. HE HATES MY PHOTO! I feel like a big poop head now! LOL :) :) :) :) Link to comment
tc_reed 0 Posted January 2, 2004 I wasn't sure about this one either. It's a little lighter and the edges are clean. Link to comment
california-seascapes-photo 0 Posted January 2, 2004 Looks good to me, this one is beyond my PS skills.(-: Link to comment
jason_jones5 0 Posted January 2, 2004 I think what you have done is take an average photo and turned it into somthing with some charecter, personally i dont like the snow effect, but, its not my photo good effort, I love looking to see whats new in your portfolio Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted January 2, 2004 Okay, your original shot just didn't have "snap" so I can see why you are playing with it. I like doing that myself. I like the lighter version you show - it's not so hard for me to look at, although it IS a smaller post, so that could be why. I think this image is definitely worth expermienting with some more.

tc_reed 0 Posted January 2, 2004 Not to worry, Jason. I never take criticism the wrong way. I like and appreciate the honesty. But, that doesn't mean I'm not going to play with folks who really don't care for my creative experiments. It's all about fun, for me. I love doing this stuff. You have to admit, some folks enjoy being mean as much as others love to play. Thanks for your comment and for keeping in touch. I love to hear from fellow PN'ers! :) Link to comment
tc_reed 0 Posted January 2, 2004 I knew you'd see why I felt I had to play with this a little. I'm still trying to master PS so it may take me a while to get the effects I need from any given photo. Especially the ones that really need some boosting. Thanks, Kim! Link to comment
abintraphoto 0 Posted January 3, 2004 I think it looks cool -- time lapse meteor shower ..... Great attitude you have too ......... don't lose it ........... (-; Link to comment
tc_reed 0 Posted January 3, 2004 Thank you, Ken, for the compliment. Meteor shower......very creative idea. I never thought of that. I like it! Link to comment
MichaelChang 12 Posted January 3, 2004 Hi TC, I know the feeling of staring at an image for hours. :-) Here's a version with Curves aggressively bumped up and converted to BW. Link to comment
tc_reed 0 Posted January 3, 2004 That is absolutely gorgeous! You just brought my eyes into focus! Thank you for showing me another way. :) Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted January 3, 2004 Yes, Michael did it! That works well, I think! Re: John's 1/1 rating - if you check out his work, well, I think he DOES have something against creativity. Link to comment
