Comments welcome - thanks.

I liked the little comic element in what is already an unusual scene.

Conversion performed using Lightroom 3.  In the original the ship is bright orange and the because of the overcast conditions the image looked quite flat. I liked the perspective on the ship and the solitary figure, but it didn't look particularly dramatic in colour.

The whole frame has been darkened by nearly 2 stops, and then the ship masked and lifted back up to about +0.25 - which is why the name is so prominent. I fiddled with the name thinking it was maybe too stark but in the end decided it was more dramatic and drew me into the picture. Was still unsure though - so glad you don't think it is too much.

Brightness & contrast increased across the frame and filtered blues/magenta up, red/yellow/orange/green down.

Agree re the antenna.

In the full size version the masking still needs some work.

Thanks for the comments. :)

 

Trying to capture the endlessness of the Antarctic plateau, and an idea of

what 'white out' is like. Comments welcome - thanks.

Any comments welcome.

Other than a bit of extra contrast this photo is completely unmanipulated.

One of my favourites. Hope you enjoy it also.

Dabbling with B&W conversion. Thoughts?

Thanks

Technically I think this is beautiful, although maybe you could have included the tip of his elbow. Regarding interpretation, I do perceive the 'darkness' in the photo that some others have mentioned. Whether or not it was intentional, I personally I think it is what makes this an interesting and truly artistic photo, and not just another 'Hallmark moment'. It shows a beautiful tender moment... or does it? Well done.
