Like a dream.Congrat...

Very nice mood, great layers & tone, perfect work & nice captured Kaushik!!! Best regards.

Kaushik,this has a beautiful feeling,the footsteps towards the lonely man,wonderful tone with the big mountain landscape.

Love it! Really good work. Regards.

I like this a lot... Is it a composite? Are the man and the footsteps really there? Or were they added in? All the best,

Serge

Same question as the previous one.

 

Kaushik, please relieve us of our unanswered question.

 

regards,

Beautiful rendering,Kaushik.

I love it. It's imaginative.

But personally I dont like so much digitally alterated photo in a photography forum. Again no offence meant,it is totally my idea.

Kaushik, what is the location where original photo taken? Can you please show me the original one.

I like the background mountains, partly visible, partly lost in the mist.

I have noticed Kaushik Chatterjee's images previously and I like them quite a bit. However, something about this one leaves me a bit less impressed.

 

I'm not sure how to articulate what I'm thinking, but here goes. If this were a "real" (whatever that means) image I would like it a great deal. The loneliness of the single figure at the end of the footprints (placed nicely and classically at the lower right) with the plain receding in the distance to the hazy mountains and the lovely sky.

 

However, the image seems too "invented" to me. The mountains have a sort of "plastic" texture to them and, to my eye at least, the human figure seems pasted in, floating above the point where I would expect him (her?) to be.

 

Please don't take this as a "slam" on your work, which overall I enjoy very much. I just thought it might be useful to hear my honest reaction - one that clearly differs from those previously posted.

 

Take care,

 

Dan

Firstly thank you all for your hearten comments and support. Now about photography, I believe that the photography explores with conception. It is an art, and who knows how to draw and paint is called photographer. The work should comes with the conception, and of course the style to walk around with the power of draw and painting.

As Avishek Roy stated personally I dont like so much digitally alterated photo in a photography forum as also Sumanta Mukherjee, but I differ. Every body almost 100% uploads their shots in PN after going through PS work for better presentation. Isn't it one type of alterations Avishek? What you think?

As for Serge Chriqui, I have placed a note in Photo Details that it is "Touched & Dvlpd In PS CS2". Yes it is a composite shoot, which I will discuss later.

Lastly for Dan Mitchell, thank you very much for your comments about my portfolio. Now for this one, it is a invented shot. Actually the mountains were captured in Dzongu, North Sikkim, India and the man walking is a greetings card photo, which I scanned and pasted there and also give some touch of foot marks to get the photo. About the mountain I have used multiple layers of filters to get the misty effect, which may cause the Plastic texture effect to it.

I honor your honest reaction about this shot.

In PS CS2 there is a lot options to remade the photos and honestly I am trying to learn that. I am a new to this PS technique and may cause some error to give a perfect presentation of my photos.

Again thank you very much for your response.

 

Best regards.

Kaushik Chatterjee.

Kaushik, thanks for the above clarification. You have valid points. Though you are new to ps, you are making excellent progress. All the best.

Thank you Amalda for your support.

Best Regards.

Very nice capture. T

I believe there is a large differance between digital alteration and

PS touch for level/color adjustment. I think i can draw a perfect

anology here.One is makeup before going to a beauty peagent where another is sending

some clone of cindy crawford by genetic method or by a wonderful plastic surgery. Do you think that is acceptable?

For me photography means same as wikipedia says

'Photography is the process of making pictures by means of the action of light. It involves recording light patterns, as reflected from objects, onto a sensitive medium through a timed exposure. The process is done through mechanical, chemical or digital devices commonly known as cameras.'

 

where i call the other way as digital art ('Digital art is art created on a computer in digital form. Digital art can be purely computer-generated, such as fractals, or taken from another source, such as a scanned photograph, or an image drawn using vector graphics software using a mouse or graphics tablet.' - courtesy again wikipedia)

That was my point, you have created a nice digital art, not a good photograph.

Again this is my philosophy and i am preaching what i believe.

 

Thanks and Regards

Eterneal fight against digital age continues here...but first of all, Kausik da: this is a great work. It is full of a very refreshing and different flavor than your other works - I think that you are going somewhere with your PS skill and effort.

But I somewhat agree with Avishek that there is a huge difference in correcting a photo in PS (something similar to what Ansel Adams used to do in darkroom) and creating a photo art. Lets accept this work as a digital photo art and appreciate that way....
