late afternoon sun

I'm not sure where to go with this one. Any ideas are welcomed!

this looks pretty damn nice, i like the strange shaped plants, i am guessing that is the sun in the upper right hand corner, could do with that being altered a bit, but otherwise i like it a lot.

nice

Thanks for the feedback Chris. I was having a hard time trying to decide if I should even leave the sun in the photo. I liked it more with it, than without. Now, I have no clue how to tone it down without making it appear to be a shiny spot in the photo. I've spent hours altering the tone of the sun. I gave up and uploaded it for review. I figure one of us little creative photo heads should have an idea that will lessen its overwhelming effect.

Thank you for your comment.

In my opinion you don't have to go anywhere with this one, it looks as if you've already arrived! Great light, mood, and originality.

Thanks Michael! I know your window shots well.

I appreciate your stopping by one of my photo's. :)

I agree - leave as is. It's obvious it's the sun and should be glowing and circular, so why mess with it? The only thing I don't like (and it's minor), is the inner frame. It looks more like a mis-crop than framing because it's light on one side and dark on the other. The actual photo itself looks cool.

Thanks Kim! I was trying to create the feeling of light being carried from one end of the photo to the other. Kind of a feeling of the sunlight flowing through the print. Guess I could have done without it too. :) I'm glad you like it as it is. I really didn't know if I should stay on it or walk away. The obsessive side of me wanted to keep tweaking the shot. :)

I love this TC. From the thumbnail I thought it might be modern sculpture...the two stems and flowers together look figural. This is eerie and evocative of some very primitive feelings, yet such a commonplace subject masterfully handled. Great work

i would never have thought of this, great idea, very clever, very cool, like it a lot.i never have anything to photograph around here, so i'm forced to come up with ideas, i've never really thought of anything like this... i may learn from it.

Thank you, Sarah, for your kind words. Sometimes I find myself looking at the oddest things and want to photograph them, not knowing how the rest of the world will respond once I put them out for display such as here.

 

Then, trying to decide what is finished and what might need one more little touch up. :)

Good to see you around again. Nice photo.

Photographic oddest things sometimes makes for the best photos and/or most unique perspectives. Something that i really have to work hard at...:-))

Nice composition and detail.

Thanks Jayme. I took this one as far as my mind would allow for the moment. I see it as a work still in progress. :)

I agree this is perfect the way it is.

6/6

Thank you, again, Michael, for commenting on one of my photo's. I tend to get too wrapped up at times in some of my photo's and don't know when I should walk away. This was one of those moments. Sometimes I am not seeing a bigger opportunity for creativity and sometimes I am missing the obvious details that need correction, and then there are the times when it is done.

 

I appreciate your opinion on this piece. I will consider it complete, for now. :-)

you got some realy great shots in your portfolio.
