hi took this shot in london last week ,i love it, and was looking to see what you think

elven · 19-09-2007 7:06pm

Oh yes, very nice indeed

Love the colour in the building, and it's a gorgeous sky. Watch out for the halo round that bush though... maybe you don't need quite such a bright green in the corner, it tries to steal the scene. Really like the composition, with the converging lines all over the place. Cool.

Sorry, but it looks like over-manipulated HDR picture. Too much manipulated to be called "natural" but not enough manipulated to be called "manipulated". It is somewhere inbetween for me.

I find something not quite right with it. Looks too much like a "fake" photo.

Woah!

Nice shot, but some of the blends need to be calmed down a bit!

Composition is spot on. Great colour. Nice photo, I would really stress calming down those blends though

Kinda looks like the eye was pasted in.

It is a nice angle of a shot.

thank for all you comments, it is a bit over the top, but i have see a 1000 shots of the london eye, so was looking for something new

roryc1 · 19-09-2007 7:35pm

here is the orig shot with no p.s

I'm not saying I don't like the processing, for the record - I do!

kensutz · 19-09-2007 7:39pm

Think you over did the sharpness tool. I prefer the natural picture but yeah just a tad of photoshopping and it'll be ok.

thanks man

What about BW without HDR? Well, without overprocessing? ;-)

AnCatDubh · 19-09-2007 8:16pm

well done - i think its quite an appealing image. It does look quite manipulated and it is probably bordering more on digital art than digital photography (imho) - not that this really matters as you've produced a very pleasing image. The bush/tree i think appears slightly over sharpened or has the playing with curves(?) in post processing done that? This also adds to the dramatic feel of the photo. The increased saturation(?) in the sky is good mixed with the darker areas. frame it with black, blow it up and put it on the wall! cheers.

One man's overprocessing is another's pure...

Photoshopping isn't necessarily a bad thing, remember there's a difference between stating your taste and judging right and wrong!

Great angle and composition I think but I have to agree with some of the guys when I say that it looks fake. HDR'd or something.

Try and reprocess it less and see what comes up
