Hi Mark I agree with Jack and the small size of the pictures does not show them at their best. Do you want them to look old? greetings Markus -Original Message- From: Jack Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2006 6:56 PM To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Subject: Re: GESO

Mark, Dark barren images have a foreboding feeling to me that may mask the intended message. On my monitor, the color images are very flat and pale as well. It's not necessarily an unappealing look and may lend itself to a desired sense of old world or aged. Best of luck with the project. Jack

Jack, Thanks for the comments. The color images still need work, but I am going for more of a hand-colored look with them. I think it's a reaction to Velvia Generation images. With the workflow I use it's bit tricky to balance the coloring with the underlying contrast--Guess I'll keep working

I like ElDorado and Clarksburg 2 very much, although I wish the web images were larger. I prefer the color for this, as the drab earthy tones communicate much. Paul On Mar 12, 2006, at 12:36 PM, Mark Erickson wrote: All, I'm working on some images of local vineyards areas (Clarksburg, El

Mark, I appreciate your color sense and think you're close to succeeding. An anti-Velvia, hand coloring look is a good thing. Would suit a wine bottle label. Ya there Tom? Jack --- Mark Erickson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jack, Thanks for the comments. The color images still need work, but

Paul, Ahhh, image size. Now there's a conundrum. I also prefer larger, but I get yelled at (or the online equivalent) if I don't go for the lowest common denominator (apparently even the Javascript in the gallery webpages are not appreciated by some). I suppose I should do three sizes instead
