Some improvement, I like the cropping more. I think you've gone a little too flat in the rendering. It's lost some of the richness and sparkle of the first rendering. A little more contrast, a little deeper tone is where I'd try next, with this as a starting point. It might well be better to move to a monochrome rendering entirely and tone it since the light is predominantly a monochromoatic red and yellow anyway. fun stuff. :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Peso: An evening with Chuck Rose
The composition is nice - very well framed. I think the DOF is just a bit too shallow and it is a little too warm. Overall, very nicely done. -- Bruce Friday, October 19, 2007, 11:34:16 PM, you wrote: WR We went to see a friend of ours play at a local resteraunt tonight.

Re: An evening with Chuck Rose
I prefer the warm light original. It emphasizes the beauty of the wood. To my eye it's far superior to this rendering.

That's really nice Bill. I'd like to see the DOF just a little more forward, but I like it this way too.

Re: Peso: An evening with Chuck Rose
Nice composition, great tonality. The receding DOF works well here. An attempt to do something different that works very well. I like it.

Re: An evening with Chuck Rose
To my old eyes, the focal point appears to be the knuckles and the ring. I would think that's the best choice here. Paul On Oct 20, 2007, at 5:03 AM, cbwaters wrote: That's really nice Bill.

Re: Peso: An evening with Chuck Rose
Bill, it works. It grows on the viewer (me) slowly but surely. I wonder how it will look in plain black and white.

From: William Robb [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/pictures/peso/guitar1.html Technical: K10, A*85mm/1.4 at f1.4 for 1/50th second. The warmth is deliberate. Nice shot with some good potential. It's all in the rendering ... - I like the warmth but find it's a bit too warm, it taints the highlights and color of the fleshtones a bit too much for my eye. Converting to BW, nipping up the contrast a little bit while preserving the lower edge separation between hand and guitar, and then bringing some of the color saturation back in to warm it up might produce a more pleasing warm tonal rendition. - Another thing is that I find the 2:3 oblong composition with the neck of the guitar making a strong diagonal to a corner is a little distracting, and the defocus as my eye follows the strings to the corner adds to that distraction. A very nearly square crop focusing on the hand, the ring, and the central part of the guitar body would make a much stronger composition. Hope that give you strength ... ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
