sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Les Baux From a few years back in Provence. Appreciate your critique. Scott Apr 09, 2009 at 03:54 PM

silvawispa Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Les Baux The framing kills it for me I don't think there's enough contrast in the subject to be able to carry such a heavy frame. There's also a weird soft patch at the promotory with the flag pole. The colour feels off too. Oh dear, i'm coming across very negative here. I suspect with a little less frame, a boost in contrast and a tweak in the colours you could transform this shot. I'm not sure about the soft spot though. Do you know what might have caused that? Worried (again) that I might be being a little harsh. Apr 09, 2009 at 05:25 PM

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Les Baux No apologies, Silver. Appreciate your detailed observations, comments and suggestions. Its interesting and educational to post an old image. I like to think my compositional and processing skills have since improved. But its helpful to revisit some old work and learn what could be done better. As far as the soft spot; I see it. I think I lasso-ed some areas for selective sharpening in PS when I processed this about 4 years ago. Must have missed a spot. Other thoughts? Anyone want to re-work it? Thx Scott Apr 09, 2009 at 05:55 PM

Jo Dilbeck Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · Les Baux I kind of like the framing, except for the fringy stuff on the bottom. If it were all "rock", it would be like looking out on a foreign world from the safety of a cave/coocoon. I do agree with Silva, a little boost in contrast would make it very nice indeed!

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · Les Baux Looks good, Paul. And I like the BW. Bob, Computer problems. I cant access the backed up larger jpeg and RAW currently. Want to play with the version here? Scott Apr 11, 2009 at 02:14 PM

Kaden K. Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · Les Baux I am with Silver on the issue of the heavy frame in frame. I also feel that the colors aren't attractive. It may have been a good candidate for shooting using a combo of warm filters. Apr 11, 2009 at 04:36 PM

beebibi Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Les Baux Nice capture, Scott... would love to be there I like the idea of the frame but wouldn't try to bring out the stonework, it will be muddy at best. Why not make it a feature - black it out and add a title and use the image as a start to a slide show about the Provence? Like this maybe? Best, Bee Apr 11, 2009 at 11:51 PM

Bob Jarman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Les Baux Here goes: regards, Bob Apr 12, 2009 at 12:37 AM

Kaden K. Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Les Baux Another re-adaptation Scott. (Almost posted at the same time as Bob) Where is AuntiPode at? Apr 12, 2009 at 12:46 AM

Bob Jarman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · Les Baux If I took the time to struggle with PS, I'd try a lightning bolt. Bob Apr 12, 2009 at 01:04 AM

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · Les Baux Bee, I think the naming and blacking out the "frame" helps. Thx. Scott Apr 13, 2009 at 03:25 PM

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #14 · Les Baux Kaden, Re-work works. Thx. Scott Apr 13, 2009 at 03:26 PM

sbeme Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #15 · Les Baux Bob, Thanks for posting. Not sure the soft/blur look works for me. Scott Apr 13, 2009 at 03:27 PM

internecine Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #16 · Les Baux if it were shot with the sun lower, raking across the face of the buildings and cliff, would have been great. right place, wrong time, just happens sometimes. Apr 13, 2009 at 04:22 PM

So often true. Especially doing the tourist thing. Thanks for commenting. Scott Apr 14, 2009 at 02:33 PM
