p.1 #1 · the blues


Three blues for critique. Not really meant to be a set, but I was trying to work on exploring the color I tend to encounter the least.

Comments welcome.

I quite like the second. The first seems a basic record shot and about the second I have a mixed reaction. I like rippled water with sky and clouds, but it's rather unsharp.

Jim,
These dont work so well for me.
For the first, I think you'd have to go over the top in blues to make your image. But I think the trees work against you.
Second feels a bit scattered between the blades and the branches. Nothing you can do about that, of course.
Third is the best conceptually, IMHO. But I'd prefer a more defined reflection since there isnt much detail to help the viewer. I'd try more contrast but protect the object reflected.

Hey Jim.
First one doesn't work for me personally.
Second one is better but I would have liked the background blurred.
Third one is the best of the three, have you considered trying a filter on it?

Thanks, Kyle.

Unfortunately, image 2 was shot wide open at f/2.8, so the background was as blurred as it was going to get...but I agree.

Did you have a particular filter or look in mind with your query on the third image?

I like the "blues". 2&3 seem to work best and 2 makes a pretty decent B&W with a little work.

I did a little sharpening and blurring in aperture, may be a little excessive...


If you object ill take it down.
I was thinking maybe a fractillus (sp?) would be nice.

edit: i meant to say a topaz filter
