Chariot Race

Another experiment in Photoshop. Thanks for looking.

A great charcoal effect, which works well with the old-time theme.

Maybe a little bit too much contrast!

Linda, I like it as is, looks like a drawing, with old time flavore. very well executed with good BG. Beautiful.

Very successful use of this artistic filter Linda.

Nice view point and perfect capture of the movement.

 

Great processing shot and Linda. I like the sketch like quality of this image. Thank you for your thoughtful comment to one of my images. Best regards.

Great post Linda! Very well done!

I like it a ton! could not help myself...what do ya think?

I agree that there is too much contrast, but Juan's sepia version helps to bring it all back together. A good concept that needs a bit more work, maybe at step one with how the image was captured?

Jeff, thank you for commenting. I spent a lot of time trying to get a brown conte crayon effect without success. So I went with this charcoalish look.

 

Pierre, I think you are right, a bit too much contrast. I appreciate hearing your thoughts and advice.

 

Pnina, thank you so much, that's what I was aiming for.

 

Karolos, thanks for stopping by, it's good to hear your thoughts.I appreciate the encouragement.

 

Sonali, thank you and you are welcome. That must of been the one of the two women in the red and orange saris?

 

Fabrizio, thank you!

 

Juan, I love it! Thanks for doing that. I tried to get a nice sepia effect but couldn't get it right. This is just great. I think it is an improvement. I really appreciate you taking the time and having the interest to do this.

 

Shawn, thank you. I agree about the contrast. I think I overworked it and lost my perspective. I really like what Juan did. I took this shot from the side of the racetrack. I had my camera on auto focus and held it out as far as I could stretch it and shot away as the horses charged ahead. This was my favorite. Has spring reached you down there in Seattle?

 

 

 

Spring arrive today in Seattle. I hope it decides to stay around for the rest of the weekend.
