Doug:That griz does not look friendly. Watch that one.
reprocesed from archives, just a cabin in the Cove.
Lloyd: Thanks! That's a great compliment coming from you. "Beary nice indeed". The snow's starting to get to you, or, it could be Rayyan's narrative is infectious? :ROTFL:Loving the processing, but I love mostly that these don't really look "processed"! They are great shots that stand on their own.
Rayyan: The building corner's beautiful! This, though, is a real gem. Lives to live and a life lived. Evocative. Beautiful pp. :thumbup:
Went to the Fair today. Got this capture as we were leaving.
D700 + 18mm ZF.2 wide open. Shot RAW, processed in C1v6.1.1, standard settings with a slight bump in saturation (+5)
Carlos:Hey gang,
I decided to revisit the Fair shot I posted yesterday. i wasn't happy with the way it turned out and so i massaged it a bit and got something I am more pleased with. What do you guys think?
The "Bridge" between Generations.....Masterful!!!:salute:
Carlos, I respectfully agree with Matt.Carlos:
My personal (emphasis on personal) preference is for the first one.
In the second photo, you've opened up the shadows and made the sky more dramatic; but, i think it diffuses focus on the subject. The first photo seems to draw the eye more easily to the ride. The people, the tram, the sky are just context.
Without the comparison photo, the second one is very cool and conveys a sense of the people, activity, rides, and the controlled chaos of the fair. The evenness of the IQ/PP in all parts of the photo adds to that. More to look at.
I've inferred your intentions with the image and could be way off. That's art. Thanks for sharing. It's fun to see the evolution of a photo. :thumbup:
Cheers, Matt.

Steve, I am honored pal.:salute:The "Bridge" between Generations.....Masterful!!!:salute:
Hermann, my sincere thanks for your continued encouragement.:salute:Rayyan: Great pictures as usual! Particularly like the French (Alsatian?) Café, the corner of the building (where's that? ), but most of all the "meeting" of the generations. Perfectly captured!!
Ah yes... toddlin in that toddlin town. I can see how that could be an adventure for sure! :thumbup:Lloyd, very grateful to you sir. Who won? Da bear. I don't know.
All the time I was in O'hare
I was with Sue and her sis, the pretty miss Claire
Believe me Lloyd, a truly wonderful pair
Worth all the trouble, to fly over here..from you know where.
Not far from Boston. Care to join me there?
And of course my friend. Please take care.
Clearly, for you sir, around every corner lies an adventure. Even the corner portrayed here, no doubt.Good bye miss claire. I bid farewell to O'hare.
It is cold there. I have had it being bare
Time to move on. To Go and visit elsewhere.
At least here, I don't get that stare.
But I do get tired being fed all that eclair.
LOVE this shot. I think Matt said it well... "Lives to live, and life lived".
Lloyd, Thank you kindly sir. Life is a journey. We change trains once. When,Ah yes... toddlin in that toddlin town. I can see how that could be an adventure for sure! :thumbup:

Lifting the foreground is OK. The sky is too "Armageddon" like for my taste though.i wasn't happy with the way it turned out and so i massaged it a bit and got something I am more pleased with. What do you guys think?
Carlos: I agree with this and with many of the others who've suggested they prefer the first rendition. I'm going to respectfully suggest that maybe there's a compromise, a degree of lightening in the shadows that stops short of the full-on lightening in the second version. Aren't you sorry you asked?Lifting the foreground is OK. The sky is too "Armageddon" like for my taste though.
Rayyan: Exquisitely beautiful detail and color. A lot for the eye to caress in this very simple photo. :thumbup:
Call them upside down cane bins.
Rayyan: Love the striking "simplicity" of that picture and the apt, more "conservative" pp here! Very nice! :thumbs:Call them upside down cane bins.
Matt: A beautiful "model" encounters a great photographer = perfect results! :thumbs: And thanks a lot for the PN, I will study thoroughly ... :salute:
