Point of view

interesting effect

The converging frame is certainly an original idea and must be praised for this, although, to be nit-picky, the convergence of the frame is a bit slower than that of the subject. A nice detail is the prospectically distorted signature. However, my main reservation is: what could the possible fate of this photo be, apart from web publication? I mean, it cannot live as a stand-alone, real world print. Although web publication is quite a decent end for an image, the fact that it cannot be hung on a real wall with real nails somehow detracts from its merit. Just my two cents.

Why not? Nothing is impossible untill the contrary has been proved, Michelle.

ALLON: Well done!

 

HANS: Well said!

I would also think that you make or have made a trapezoidal frame, though I think the image is strong enough that it doesnt need that perspective.

Your photo achieves a startling effect.

Just because we can do something in ps doesn't mean we should. What does this effect achieve?

 

Converging lines are neat for the 1st semester photo student who almost inevitably photographs railroad tracks(pick a track, any track). After that, it needs to be done a little more sparingly and carefully to succeed. Applying it in post does nothing but fart on an otherwise nice photo(upon further inspection, I actually noticed that this image had nice light and tone).

 

Can any of the heapers-of-praise share how this effect actually works to IMPROVE the image?

There is nothing great about this attempt, it loox more like a photoshop excercise....now a days it seems photography starts with photoshop.

 

I tried hard, not to comment....

I have to agree with kelly on this. What is important here?, the photo or the eye candy? It your going to show perspective do it in the photo and not the presentation. You are making the presentation the statement and not the photo.

Superb image, Allon. Excellent portfolio.

Best regards.
