Puhonix Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I get to enter one entry into a photo contest, and I'm having a hard time deciding between the two photos, so I thought I might find some help here.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Blue. Much darker and more foreboding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'd like to see the Sepia shot in Blue because I like that photo better, but JSP is right about the effect of the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Nice photos. Definately the blue. Not sure where they were taken, but the sepia seems to be at dock somewhere whereas the blue seems to be at sea with a strong storm rolling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Ask and you shall receive: God's Blessing Briana - Blue II 716376[/snapback] Can you darken it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Ask and you shall receive: God's Blessing Briana - Blue II 716376[/snapback] Personally, I like that shot better in sepia...EXCEPT that the gradient from the bright sky to the boat is a little too excessive and jarring. Keep it in sepia, but darken the brightest part of the sky somehow, and it's got my vote. CAVEAT: I don't know sh-- about art or photography.

smokinandjokin Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Very well done both. I chose the blue one. How come all of my pictures just end up being of my drunk friends yelling in a bar and photos of random girls' cleavedge? I can't seem to figure that out.

Chef Jim Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 But the question that begs to be asked. Is that wonderful sailing vessel for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now puhonix on the other hand, we're still not sure of...i mean he DOES like the dolphins and maple laffs. Blue, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAVEAT: I don't know sh-- about art or photography. 716380[/snapback] ADDENDUM: The real issue I have with that picture is that the bright sky is so bright it draws the eye away from the boat to the upper edge...at the same time, it's so bright it washes out most of the detail where the eye's drawn to...so you end up looking at nothing. I'm all for contrast...but that's a little too much in the wrong place. I guess what I really like about it is: it's in sepia. So here's another question for you: what does the original blue one look like in sepia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhonix Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 So here's another question for you: what does the original blue one look like in sepia? 716387[/snapback] Oh crap, I'm not going into that now or I'll come up with every single combination in every single color between ROYGBIV. I'm leaving it to the original two, because the contrast was too strong in the blue that I redid. So its left to those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Again, the original blue one. Very sharp, dark and forboding with the storm clouds rolling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
