Abstract

I only have a little idea about I'm seeing, but I like it

Taken purely as an abstract. Orig in color and polarized. Converted

in red channel. Your thoughts?

This is really good Ken. It makes maximum use of the shapes, perspective, and geometry.

perspective/composition make this a strong image

An abstract that nevertheless stays grounded in reality, meaning that you left enough visual clues that in a glance I can tell I'm looking upward at the sky along a modern (or should it be postmodern) building facade. I'm curious about the pros and cons of the red channel conversion versus a standard adjustment layer>hue/saturation>desaturation. From the looks of this, it must act much as the traditional red filter in BW, boosting contrast and darkening a blue sky. I'll do a little experimentation, but it sounds like an interesting shortcut around a lot of curve/contrast manipulation. Finally, thanks for your comment on "Shutterbird." I have an inexplicable fondness for that image, and I'm gratified that you like it too. Thanks, Jim

This is the best abstract I've seen on this site! Wonderful lines and contrast...but not too much contrast. Just an amazing balance of shapes compositionally...and yet it's not so abstract that you have no idea what you're looking at.

Very clean, solid work. One day I hope to understand what "converted to BW in red channel" means. Regards.

Good composition and strong perspective. Great shot!!

Very well seen and done!

Nice abstract!

Ken, that's precisely why you take nice pictures of the young ladies. You have an amazing eye for balance and design. I wish the opposite were true too. I would be incapable of doing this.

Anytime someone comments on one of my images, I try to view their porfolio. Ken, I absolutely love your B&W work. Super tones and contrast. ;-)

good

Excellent observation & nicely composed. Nice work!
