Tom, you still eating those magic mushrooms? Another very interesting solar/IR rendering. I remember this place well in Santa Fe.

Steve - only in my special pasta sauce!!
'Interesting' - a non-committal phrase, if I ever heard one!
we were surprised (pleasantly) by all the places/sites to shoot in Santa Fe. a museum building!!
regards, tom

The solarized shadows are working for me, and has a nice stylised feel that could work in any number of commercial applications, magazine advertisement, album cover, billboard etc..

Al - 'commercial' - gads, a horrible thought, when one considers oneself an 'artist'! ! ! but glad you liked it, anyway . . .

I think you may have the next ipod commercial gimmick on your hands here Tom Just imagine the black silhouette with the white ear buds walking through your solar world

I'm not a fan of this technique but I do like this image probably the most in relation to all of the others you have posted.

Forget it ! it's over , I commented a while back on one of these shots you're punishing everyone with . I hate , hate , hate , solarized images , but I've bitten my tongue and let you get it out of your system . I beg you please stop now ! you've already gone too far and the only thing you can do to redeem yourself is to go back and now present those shots , some of which showed great promise if it wasn't for the abuse you inflicted upon them , in a proper manner . Please take this as a seriously lighthearted rant . Not one more O.K..........

Well, I didn't intend that to be a back-handed compliment actually. I know that there are those who think of B/W as hallowed ground never to be trod upon with post processing other than to dodge or burn, but personally I've never been overly bothered with that hangup.

It's a great big world out there and there is a time and place for everything...and I would be proud to have my work on an album cover somewhere (at least the nice big old vinyl album type) or displayed in a magazine ad viewed by many.

I like this one. Maybe, if you feel like it, you could show the pre-solarized version too to satisfy the 'traditionalists'.

wow - I asked for feed back and got a bucket full. actually much appreciated, as I respect the views from this forum. thank you,thank you, thank you.
I take none of it personally, so hit as you wish.
Paul, Duncan, Al - your voices have been heard. I love solar, as one technique, not my only one, but I'll cut back- a little.
now the original - which you may find a little tame . . .
regards to all, tom

The tame image is a fine one , that tree in the center sets off the darker tones wonderfully . Welcome back .

Duncan - thanks for looking again and providing a supporting comment; the foreground tree shadow is what works for me . . . maybe there is hope for me (?)
