Working on shadows. Please respond.

You have captured this very well - an image which I can enjoy. I like the shadows heading off into the black. This is well photographed subject but that should not deter you from putting your stamp on it.

Magnifico juego con la sombra de la escalera.

Saludos.

Very nice Liz. I always like seeing such shadow photograph of towers and someday I hope to have one of my own to show.

Un excelente juego de volumenes y formas. Saludos.

Beautiful work, Liz!

Great composition, Liz; also the light and the black zone. Best regards.

Hi, This is a wonderfully seen and captured image. Congratulations!

Nice. Good shot. Makes me want to climb those stairs. My only suggestion would be to crop a little off the right side, maybe half the black area.

Excellent composition

Nice seen and the capture. Fantastic shadow effct if the stairs and the tonal. Lovely. All the best. Rgds.

I had some problems with your image :)

 

I was almost sure you flipped image up side down, and then why shadow is on the bottom ?

your tricked me

now everything is crystal clear to me, you did very well congratulations Liz

regards !

 

 

 

 

 

I am so grateful for the nice comments. I wish I could explain why I chose this perspective, but all I know is that I wanted something unpredictable.

Liz: Really like this photo. I have been working with a technique that creats a line drawing on a new layer and then I change the layer to multiply. It works well with some photos. Here's your's done that way. In PS it gives much sharper edges. Tom

Tom, I like what you did. Can you explain it a little more? What is "a line drawing"?

Liz: In PSE8 I have an guided edit that creats a pencil drawing of the image in a new layer. The edit effectively finds the edges of the features in the photo. I then change the new layer's blending from normal to multiply. This creats a very slightly brighter image and gives sharper edges. Understand? See my photo "Phone Booths" and "Bayeux - Restaurant" I used the same technique on both. Tom

Bravo! Snap shot maybe, but a well chosen direction, ha!

Tom, I'm trying to replicate your technique using CS3, but no luck yet.

 

Pierre, many thanks for stopping by.

Wonderful capture. Brilliant light and shadow management. Best regards.

Beautiful image and very well composed! Thanks for taking the time to comment on Bambi! Rgds - Sekhar

Ciao Liz! Well returned to me! I'm very happy to meet you again also for looking at a so beautiful b/w!

Liz: Would you like me to send you a file with the layers, so you can see theh set up? Tom

A very interesting black and white- great job!

Thank you all for taking the time to comment.

 

Thanks, Tom, yes, I'd love to figure out what you're doing.

Eye catching final result. Compliments Liz!
