Challenge: Best of 2004 (Advanced Editing III*)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: Greenville TX
Date: Dec 11, 2004
Aperture: f11
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/40
Galleries: Landscape, Water
Date Uploaded: Jan 1, 2005

A local fishing pier, obviously abandoned and time-worn. Shot was cropped slightly on the left and top, the I applied Feivel's Gothic Glow (a PS action) to achieve the effect I wanted. It is probably no competition for the stellar talent of DPC but I am rather fond of the mood and the serenity of that particular moment.

I bet this is the best place to fish, over looked for the condition. I can smell the big bass here.

Very pretty Laurie. Well composed and the glow adds a nice painterly/moody feel.

Laurie, how did I know this was your photo! I think it's neat you start to learn people's style here and can guess who did what. Great job on your placing!

I like this pic very much. It has a dreamy feel to it, very creative. Just remember that as long as YOU are happy with your pictures that is all that really matters. They're not chocolate cookies, they dont have to please everyone ;)

I think this is much stronger without the horizon

interesting composition. it's a bit dark for my taste though.

A little on the over-processed side for my taste, but still a great composition with a lot of warmth in the shot. Nicely done Laurie.
OK, changed my mind, as it has grown on me. ((9))

I really like the color and leading lines of your picture. Almost looks like a painting. A simple scene beautifully captured. Great job

Very nice mood to this image. Love the colors and the lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the exposition and light. The only downpoint is that it looks overprocessed. My guess would be too much use of shadow and highlight. Good shot overall (6)

nice painterly feel, like the detail in the foreground and the textures in general

Nice color. I might have cropped out the horizon.

I for one do like the treatment. Colors are warm and contrast with the cold, black water very well. ....9....

Great location here, and your processing is brilliant. Really like the way the light falls on the reeds in the foreground. Good work !!

The photo has a funny look to it like its been over edited (over sharpened) or something similar. A beautiful shot that really allows the mind to wonder which is very rare on this site. <7>

* Will review this photo again on another pc to see if its this monitor

Reviewed 2nd time and up'd score to an <8>

One of my favorites so far...a bit dark or overprocessed from my pov. Great detail and composition! 9

Outstanding post processing .

beautiful tones. Especially like the details in the planks.

Nicely composed image. Your post-shot editing gives it a warm, almost surreal feel.

This may be too overprocessed for some, but I find it hauntingly beautiful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/15/2005 09:50:17 PM
Nice shot, but the postprocessing looks a bit heavy. There's a strange dark halo around the posts that I find distracting.
