cosmic Lost Worlds - 1

Come with me and feel the moments in the timeless night, in the

world beyond salvation...

I like the composition and thye feeling it evokes. Surreal in a sense but a good image.

 

Thanks.

Nice composition and colours, Jana...the numeric noise is partly destroying the purity of this image, probably due to your scanner...I suggest you to process the image with "Neat Image" (noise reduction software)...as attached...just a suggestion, hope you don't mind!

Jean Pierre, thanks for your suggestion. The sky is as it is on purpose of the surreal. The neat image makes it neat, perfect, soft as the baby skin, but I want the image to be harsh.. jana

I think this is a most wonderful image. I noted your response to Jean Pierre & understand your comment & concerns, however within the attachment of the changes that Jean Pierre had made I feel the the corrections which take the whiteness out of the upper portion of the sky for me help make your image more powerful as they remove this distraction & bring me to the surreal qualities of the colors & the wind swept sand. Hope you take no offense with my comment or Jean Pierre's but it does show that we do care & feel the image is of a quality that has compelled us to respond as we have.

 

Best Regards

Gary, thank you so much. I shall reconsider. I do not have the Neat image software, I wonder if it is worth buying? CAn PS do the same ? thanks Jana

Una belleza de composicion y color Jana,,, un cordial saludo.

The 'noise' discussion is interesting. But the two versions are two different pictures. The treated version does emphasize the blowing sand more than the original, conveying a greater sense of movement and contrast.

The original, however, has a greater surreal and disquieting feeling becuase it 'freezes' motion and makes it static.

I guess the viewer can prefer whichever version he or she wants, but the artist's vision clearly leans in one direction.

I do love the way you carefully think through your compositions. This one is awesome.

Hello Jana...it seems we have here quite exactly the benefit of Photo.net : a constructive exchange on noise...!

Nevertheless I must apologize, because I should have consider that you wanted this picture to be as it is on purpose, then I should have respected the artist's willing...sorry for this!

 

You point of view is quite understandable, as one wants a grany B&W obtained with processing fast film (up to 6400 ASA).

 

Thanks for your comment on my "Infinite blue", Jana, and here is an adress where you can download "Neat Image" free and legaly :

Very well done Jana

Well Jana!

 

I see you made it to the red sands of mars OK without my help! :OP

nice shot but I do not like the noise.

thanks for the advice on my shot.

Please comment on them all if you wish.

 

No offence intended about the photo. I like it.

what made you comment on an older photo of mine?

 

I prefer this one...

Jana,hello from lost world.

Excellent photograph.Very creative and perfect colors.I love it.Congrts...cheers

The exchange of ideas here is interesting. Personaly I think the noise/grain looks like a continuation of the sand blowing off the dune-gives texture and pattern-very spell binding.

the primal colours here are perfect... as is the sand being blown of the dunes. reminds me a bit of david maisel's work on owen's lake...

Really a world apart...Compliments!

Lovely colors! :)

beautiful, the atmosphere reminds me of Frank Herbert?s Dune or The Thousand and One Nights :)

Jana, I like this one. Having read the discussion on grain, I have to second the comment of Leann Green. The atmosphere here is calm and surreal. Not from this world. Best wishes, Peter

And then, my camel awake me up as the desert silence noise increase to the very last limit...

And the sand was almost untouchable...

I agree with Mark Boyer's "inner" view of this wonderful picture. The artist's concept is what it's worth so far! Obviously, Jana has made whatever she wanted to and the result doesn't need subjective interpretations and [or] interventions because this shot is PURE emotion, buddies. I congratulate Jana for using the best - and more difficult - tool to obtain a photograph: slide film! Keep on futher, Jana. Sergio Moreira.

That flying sand... There's absolutely that 'something' (with full moon of course).
