Ken, The images are pretty heavily processed (see the link to the digital lith description elsewhere in the thread). I intended for the coloring to evoke a washed hand-colored look, so the "desaturated" feel is on purpose. Regarding contrast, the digital lith workflow yields very high "local" contrast in the full sized images that isn't fully apparent in the resized-for-web versions. To do it right, I would probably have to try to apply the process to an image after it has been resized. Hmmmm. Something to think about.
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that local, micro-scale contrast is really important for certain kinds of images. Unfortunately, 100dpi monitors and resized images lose this effect.... Guess you'll have to trust me on this one :-) --Mark Kenneth Waller wrote: > >Interesting study Mark. > >> Can it stand as a >> photographic subject on its own? > >I'd say yes. > >I'd prefer a little more contrast & saturation. > >Was the white point/dark point set in post processing? > >Kenneth Waller
