Branches

A dull day - this image needed a little extra help in PS. Added a

little light and sepia-toned it. It's more abstract now, I think.

Excellent post-processing. Still, I find that something is missing here - a center of interest, maybe. It is an abstract but rather uniform pattern without a real compositional theme. Very good as a study in pattern and shape, less as a photograph on its own.

I don't think an abstract work necessarily need 'center of interest', and I don't find 'uniform pattern' in this photo, it works for me, well done Kim.

Great Work on the post processing !

Your sepia style is cool, love how you burn out a section of the image. Great work. This envokes feelings of despair, strentgh, with a dash of solitude, for me anyways....

excellent tones!!

WOW. what a shot

Thanks, Or - the original was pretty plain and the sepia effect brought out the branches and gave them some texture and form.

Great sepia! Crop it tighter and you have a really cool abstract! Great work Kim!

Thanks for taking the time to comment, TC.

Kim,

 

The lines, the sepia toning, the highlight on the water, all add up to a wonderfully composed

capture. Amazing talent! Cheers, Ronnie

Thanks, Ronnie - it was rather "blah" before the treatment.

I think the sepia toning and the composition of the branches is wonderful. I find the bright spot on the water to be a little distracting although it works well on the branches. Was wondering how the image would look if the central bright spot effect could be maintained on the branches and lessened on the water. Just a thought. Dave

I can go back and rework this one, Dave, if I can easily find my original file. (My cataloging system sucks). I've used PS a lot more since doing this one, so would probably do it a little differently this go round.
