government owned horse i saw today while looking for some new locationsfinal call . . .When I opened the thread, the first impression was rather a visualization of this picture in a b/w print. Your frame made a potentially stark contrast come out.
That said, I do think, for the purpose of a nature shot, the color version in #1 serves you right except the mentioned edge problem. You fixed that in #2, but the saturation of the colors there went a tad mad.
Voilą, here's my imperfect take. Good night.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p120/newrmdmike/horseface2sml.jpgi'll be honest, i like mike's better...a good bit actually.
lovely shot mike, i've always liked this one!You did something extra to those eye-lashes, didn't you?
What? How come I only see they are lighter than I would expect them, but they don't have a halo!?? GOOD!thanks oldnavy!Can I have your permission to edit your first horse photo under this thread? I note that your photos are generally not OK to be edited.although i did go back and make the edge of the horses face more clear
http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p120/newrmdmike/horsefacesml2.jpgWhy do I keep expencting to see Sarah Jessica Parker in this thread? :scratch:yeah, of course, i thought we were talking about the horse?
were u thinking about creating shadows on the face when you were painting?hahahaaha, and no i didn't intend to add shadows, but after applying a filter it darkened it up, and masking it off didn't look right so i left it.
the change in the second one is an unsharp mask contrast adjustment on that dark part of the face and a curves adjustmentI love horses!!!!! Very beautiful!!!!I think the darkness takes away from it a little bit. I think it would be more compelling with a light blurred background, but very well composed this is cool!
I had a similar photo of a cow, unfortunately I was using old fujichrome so it turned out crappy :(
edit: whoops, exactly like mike did, exactly what I was thinkingno, not underexposed, in fact its perfectly exposed. . . then i painted it blackheres another edit, i like it in bw too, i'm not really sure what to do with this pic.

I like this one..you can see his eye much better..and almost his thoughts..very niceGreat texture shown in this image, colors look nice too! Well done! :thumbup:haha, no thats alright. and is that what you were talking about? if it is it isn't irritating in the least, but i thought you meant the black backgroundbecause i wanted black there. . . .thats an irritating questionhahaha, Mike. ;)sure, why notwhy?thanks guys . . . i think this one could both ways, color or black and white . . . but i'll stick with the color.Great pic. Good spotting. :)
I regret a bit for the dark (underexpo?) part at the left-bottom corner.bummmmmmmmmpOK, I have tested all these three by now. Surely it's a personal choice, still, I want to show you the version that I would choose without doubt.
Read you later.mike, sorry for the irritation. the photo looks good now.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
