Challenge: Dreams (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Sony DSC-F828
Location: my kitchen
Date: May 2, 2005
Galleries: Abstract, Emotive
Date Uploaded: May 2, 2005

 I set up this scene on my cutting board in my kitchen and taped pictures of clouds on the back of a small bookshelf and put that up next to the cutting board. I took quite a few shots and decided on this one. The lighting I used was a desk lamp, and some natural light that was coming in through the window.
post processing..
-crop
-adjusted hue/saturation
-added a sepia photo filter
-cloned the clouds to make them run together and into the road
-added a gausiann blur layer and erased area's where I didnt want the blur
-resized

The idea is well thought out and executed, I think a little saturation on the petals would lift this image even more

I don't quite get this. Maybe too much post-process?

Great image
However
The shadows on the background from the flowers discourage the mood
Otherwise good job

A little dull and out of focus, maybe something other than flowers at the end of the train tracks....

Okay, this is wierd!
I like how this makes me think about what I'm seeing, though I feel I'm never going to figure it out. Photographically, the image is very soft with too many blown highlights, but it still leaves a positive impression.

The preciseness of this leading into the fuzzy areas make this a very special piece. Nice.

To me, the 'road' isn't distinct enough, although I like the concept.

Neat Idea, but the cloning needs perfecting. But then, its a dream so anything goes.

The colour scheme seems to work however there doesn't seem to be a connection between all the objects in the composition.

interesting concept for theme, please tell me that this is from an original manufacture of your pix, and not manufactured in post.

interesting - like the surreal effect - visually different - great job
