No nothing about photo's but love the griffin

Saruman

These are just some of the slightly more interesting pics i have taken. I actually got some pretty cool shots of various raptors.. that was the closest in your face shot though.

i like the griffin, and the sphere, but they would benefit from a good cropping in my opinion. something a bit like this as a quick example:

edit: (in hindsight, i went back and blurred the background in the sphere, to bring out the subject)

I know i posted unedited.. well other than reducing the size for uploading.
Was more interested in thoughts on the subject than the actual image itself.

peepingtom

in all fairness you can make most subjects interesting, but unless you try to make the way you capture it interesting, whats the point?

Saruman

Good point
Will try something more interesting.. when i get time that is.
Thanks for the comments

How about this sphere.. similar to what you did though i took it from original so it has a little more resolution the reduced the size down.
Though your cropping i think was a little better.

Where is that sphere/blob?

Oriel

No, no, no, all that cropping is terrible.

Saruman

That's not good cropping. You completely ruined the photos.

It's called the bean methinks... and it's meant to be really cool inside... did you go into it?

Chicago's meant to be a really cool city... I'd love to go...


I'm really liking the second to last one... good stuff

Saruman

No i did not go inside as they were doing work on it i think.. let me check the other picture (i did not post) as it shows the whole thing further back...

edit: yes i zoomed in on the other pic and there are people in white suits inside.. obviously doing work.. you can see them in original image i posted too.
