p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Pathway to the sky


My friend called it that......was playing around today at a local park and came across this rather strange statue (Obelisk?). It real life it is bright shiny stainless steel/ The light was reflecting off it in a rather strange way with an even stranger sky in the background.

Not sure if it works, but I decided to have a little fun with the processing as well. Not my normal way of doing things, but wanted to see what I could come up with.

Any C&C is greatly appreciated.

Nice. It reminds me of one of those scenes in movies where a soul is riding an escalator to Heaven.

It's actually a good starting point. Some thoughts.
This particular pic would do well without some of the distractions. As it's started symmetrical ,maybe frame it so to get rid of the tree on the right.

You could also do that in post, clone-copy/paste a section the brick-work/steps/sky on the left over to the right and clone out the pole in the middle.

There needs to be a little more contract between the sky and the shiny object. Just a thought, try making the sky really dark/scary looking.

And thanks for the kind words of advice tomorrow morning when I get up I'll try and play with it some more. I like the idea of getting rid of the pole and playing with the sky some more I'll give that a try as well.

Thanks!

Thanks again for the feedback, below is version 2.
I am still debating about removing the trees.

Thanks!

I should clarify, don't remove all the trees , just the near one on the right.

Play around with lightening the obelisk.

I know the straight-out-of-camera guys will hate this all fun.

I am usually one of the SOOC guys! But for some reason, I have enjoyed playing with this one! I will probably post another version soon!

Thanks!
