RianFlynn Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · #326 Magic Books This is my first shot at one of these contests Hope you guys like it! Jan 04, 2009 at 02:37 AM

Hightraxx Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · #326 Magic Books Great idea, think the guy holding the book can't read to well with his hair hanging in his eyes, but nice shot, and goodluck. Norm Jan 04, 2009 at 05:32 AM

sbkracer Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · #326 Magic Books Great image Rian. You have in interesting style. Nice work. Regards, Sorin C. www.sorinphoto.com Jan 04, 2009 at 06:25 AM

fimchick Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · #326 Magic Books Rian, I'm trying to figure out why it looks flat or almost like a painting? Jan 04, 2009 at 06:26 AM

burningcloud7 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · #326 Magic Books that will be hard to beat. It is somewhat of a tough subject to get creative with and I think this photographer did just that, got creative. Taking a photo of a book is pretty simple, getting creative to expand from that "book" takes imagination. The very large book works and the creative lighting looks good, overall nice composition. Nice shot and I don't think it looks "flat" at all. It looks more "soft" than "flat" and it works with this, kind of a "mist" feel to it with an old mystic tone. Happy New Year Jan 04, 2009 at 02:59 PM

fimchick Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · #326 Magic Books Maybe it's just me I saw Rian's work on his page and it is absolutely amazing. There's just something about this one. Oh well, it's just me! Jan 04, 2009 at 04:36 PM

Steve Spencer Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · #326 Magic Books Hi Rian, I love the idea and generally love the execution. Take this for what it is worth--as others clearly disagree--for me, I find the processing overly stylized. But stick to your own vision. Cheers, Steve S. Jan 04, 2009 at 05:54 PM

RianFlynn Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · #326 Magic Books wow thanks everyone! i didn't expect to get comments on it rian Jan 04, 2009 at 07:28 PM

Matt Leitholt Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · #326 Magic Books I knew this was yours without even looking at the name. Jan 04, 2009 at 07:49 PM

burningcloud7 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · #326 Magic Books Rian, nothing is over stylized here and don't think there is such a thing when it comes to ones own art work. Those that choose to like it will, those that choose to not like it won't. Looks like more like it and the sum of the total only matters in the end, I like it. peace Jan 04, 2009 at 07:59 PM

suse Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · #326 Magic Books I really like the composition - very creative. Did you use the LucisArt plugin for this one? It has that strange dimensionality look about it - could be a still from a film like Harry Potter... Would be nice to see the original shot, because the composition is so strong it might work either way...and less stylised stuff tends to do better on this board. Jan 04, 2009 at 08:58 PM

burningcloud7 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · #326 Magic Books it might look a little strange in dimension because no backlight was used to make it "pop" out more and give it that 2 dimension look. Too much light would have taken away from the mystic feel. It is what it is and it is very fine work. Jan 04, 2009 at 09:28 PM

Patricia March Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · #326 Magic Books This is a Winner!! Fantasticl Light! Love everything about it! Should be an Album Cover. Congrats!! Patty Jan 05, 2009 at 02:25 AM

AuntiPode Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #14 · #326 Magic Books Very well done! Jan 05, 2009 at 02:51 AM

Photon Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #15 · #326 Magic Books Hey Rian, I just looked through your "behiind the scenes" web site and Flickr site. You're way overqualified for the WA! It does look like your album covers, and that's ok. Good luck. Jan 05, 2009 at 04:57 AM

ruuskan Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #16 · #326 Magic Books While I like the overall professional look and feel of thisone, I generally prefer photographs over overly processed images, but hey, that's just me! Good luck Jan 05, 2009 at 06:47 PM

Just a bunch of layer masks until i liked what it looked like. try playing with multiply layers! Rian Jan 06, 2009 at 12:48 AM

Hey steve, thank you Yes I usually don't process this much, but it seemed to work this time. I think I am going to redo this in a commercial setting. This was like 15 minutes of shooting and about 1 hour of editing haha Rian Jan 06, 2009 at 12:49 AM

Yakim Peled Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #19 · #326 Magic Books Very good pic. Great idea and execution. The only thing that bugs me is that the man in the center is looking straight at me and not down to the book. Happy shooting, Yakim. Jan 06, 2009 at 12:48 PM

James Markus Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #20 · #326 Magic Books I know this is your style, and I like the drama of this image, but the PP is bit over the top for my tastes. With less contrast, and distorted skin tones...this image would be much more powerful. In fact, grayscale would even work better for me. Sorry, just being honest. I do like your style in some of the other images you have on your site... Jan 06, 2009 at 09:56 PM

Beverly Guhl Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #21 · #326 Magic Books Very creative. I agree with James; for the WA my tastes run more towards photography and less artsy composites, but that's just my taste (and I'm a graphic designer who has done lots of art and lots of composites!)... I limit myself to photography here because there are tons of forums for digital art whereas I'm here to do photography. It's cool though!! :-) Jan 07, 2009 at 03:29 AM

RianFlynn Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #22 · #326 Magic Books you know whats funny, most of my work are composites, but this one is just a good old photograph Jan 07, 2009 at 05:51 AM

toddmitchell Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #23 · #326 Magic Books Not your best work but it got my vote Jan 08, 2009 at 03:59 AM
