Interesting how the defocussed image looks similar to a zoom effect - yet completely different.

 

And no - I normally don't rate ;)

Congratulations, Graeme!

 

A very well-balanced view of a piece of weatered knotted wood, that somehow is full of life and fantastic beings...

Great photo - and outstanding darkroom work!

Ooh... I like it!

Sorry - I didn't like this. It's too close to symmetry to look right with the slight slope; there is too little of interest in 90% of the frame. The cropped version is much better, although I probably wouldn't crop quite as much.

Maybe unintended, but quite astonishing! How did it happen?

A beautiful spot, but there's just too many details in the picture. I think this may be one of those pictures that look great in really big enlargements (say, 1 x 1.5m), but is curiously disappointing in any reasonable size.

I agree with carl. That would have removed the "color-grains" in the transition between green and red, as well.

With "real" film, I assume you would have held back the bottom half a bit in copying? It isn't as easy to get a good result in Photoshop or similar...

Very well done. Excellent use of a large-format camera.

Looks like the DOF is a little on the narrow side - the closest "knob" is out of focus. Pity - I really like the picture!

Even stranger bar across the sun?

Oooh - nostalgia!

I used to have one of those - an even older one, in fact! This looks like a 1968 to -70?

 

Nice picture.

Beautiful. I like it! Only wish you'd used larger format...

Nice picture!

This picture is unusually interesting - for a sunset. The problem is that in a small thumbnail view, you don't see the people at all, only "yet another sunset".

Beautiful picture!

 

The bottom third may be a bit "heavy"; if I had made this, I would have held back a little on exposing the bottom in the darkroom. Perhaps.

 

Focus. Then stop down.

Contrast is a bit dull.

 

Good try - keep practicing!

I don't think it is too blackish. I think it's too greyish. A little REAL black would make the rest seem lighter by comparison.

 

Nice picture, BTW!

 

PS. Do you use an AGFA scanner? If so, there's a new driver which fixes the cropping problem!
