cool subject. i know that we are on the web, but i have a high resolution screen and this size is a tad to small to really judge if it's nice. looking at it now i think your image lacks a focal point. it's kinda busy. Maybe the light is to harsh. or maybe it is just the size that is killing the effect right now.
I believe this is a nice shot, but just a bit to small right now.
I agree that this is posted too small, and would also add the frame is too thick. Also, I think the subject is interesting, but somehow it doesn't seem like it is the subject in this image. Thanks, Derek
suggest burning in the lighter foliage and edges. create a new layer on top, set to soft light mode, use a very soft black brush set to 17-27%. essentially vignetting the chair. best...skip
I agree with skip about the vignetting if you're ever going to bring out the chair from in amongst the foliage..possibly tweaking the original color image in Channel Mixer, as a nod to Gavins suggestion, to help differentiate the tones.
(Don't tell anybody, but this might be better in color...)
Who said that?
Also might be a good candidate for some filter fun, edge finding etc.
Thanks for the suggestions, I need more if anybody has them. The image does look good in color, but I'm determine to make it come out well in B&W. If it takes me how ever long it takes me. I need to know more about CS3 to do it, the more I get from you guys the better.
skip, that is nice, Thanks for the guidance. I need to get a mouse to use on my MBP, touchpad just doesn't cut it for this. Heck might as well get a Wacom.
Thanks again, I'm not too worried about the trackpad, more of handshaking. I tried some burning yesterday after your first post. I need some thing else.
Glad you liked it. I was running out of ways to try and separate the chair from the foliage with conventional methods. Creativity abhors rules..when all else fails, try something different.
