Any comments on format of picture

Cropped and modified version I don't like this. It is to sterile, somehow.

I did consider cropping but I wanted a second opinion first, so thanks.

Original shot he looks as though you climbed the tree to shoot him, surprised to say the least. Well done, Mark

Great shot although I can't quite see why (tech) but the visual is really nice the lights and shades well caught and the colours look so real on my screen. Well done, Mark.

Fabulous colours and contrast makes for a great abstract too.

After the 'fun' last night from the May day celebrations, cars burning all around here, I thought a slightly differnt fire over Kreuzberg was needed. Taken a few days before the idiots came as the sun was going down.

Any comments?

Great light looks more like a model than a real church, kind of mystical.

I love this because it just doen't look real, if you made this yourself no one would believe the composition. It goes to show life is always stranger than fiction. The Dodo thing must be huge, don't want to mess with him. Congrats again!

Thanks for the nice comments. The image is a composite with sky nothing else added or taken away, the PS work was all done with layers and levels. The trees are a little to worked but I liked the effect, Thanks again.

I am really not sure whether the mid-ground is distracting enough to

PSout that branch or does it add something(apart from dead wood),

ideally it should not be there and it bothers me that it is, but there

is something but WHAT? Help!

Simple and yet full of detail and texture very japanese feel. Not sure about the frame though?

Eidergree with you there

I agree the eyes are un-nerving I think it is because we ignore the detail and go straight for the eyes in animals and people and the two predominent eyes here are on different animals, it dosen't help that these guys are dressed in the same boots ;)

Could be it thinks its a dog and needs a P

They look so cute just enough in one for a boot.

Anyone know these guys.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to leave a comment, glad you liked the shot.

This is a excellent work how much is from the camera and how much from your digital darkroom is hard to tell as the comparison file link isn't working for me. Fantastic result congrats.

Thanks for looking

Espcially with the light, like the mood too!

Hi Scott I did try a few crops, I will seee if I have any of them around still.

It looks digital what do you mean it is digtal it is on a computer display what else could it be. It is light digitised to discrete levels that can be represented on a computer monitor using light.

All images on a computer are digtal (Like CDs). So wether it is digitised in the camera or in the scanner it doesn't alter much except when it gets digitised.

As for colour perception and all that bull film has a wider gamaut than in is posibble to digitise but still not as wide as light itself. The funny thing is most emulsion film over saturates colour or colours so much they in no way look real, digital cameras (good ones) do not over saturate to the same amount and tend to represent colour more effectivley.

When one alters an image digitaly i.e. with ProtoStrop some folks on this site go ape. Funny that they are happy when Fugi or Kodac (names changed to protect the innocent) do it its "natural" well it is not!

So yes it is digital; taken with a digital camera and displayed by a digital device.

Its not like I am trying to forge anything here its only a picture of a sparrow not a painting by Monet.

Maybe you would like to comment on the picture not the technology involved in plonking it in your face :)

Thanks for takin' the time to look.
