Thanks Vernon ;-)
Merci Christophe ;-)

on reconnait bien ta patte ici !
encore une réussite ! bien joué

Merci Lyonnais , bon dimanche !!

I like the processing. Gives it a painting/medival effect.

Great processing and great image. The treatment fits this image perfectly.

Perfect water drop,so sharp in details and great lighting.Beautiful composition
Congrats on this shot ;)

Nice and quiet drop. Hairy leaf details are perfect !

Magnificent contrast, I like very much

excellent composed

I really like this. I think the only thing I would do differently is turn slightly more to your left so the bricks in the road are parallel with the bottom of the picture. But I'm just weird that way. :-)

Very nice! Don't know what else to say except it's striking.

Perfect! Don't change a thing. Composition, lighting, exposure, atmosphere, everything is just perfect.

Wonderful. I like it just the way it is.

thank you a lot for all your comments :)

Nice compo, I like the PP !!

Actually, nice portrait and good compo !
I like the colors too

Fantastic composition, and a really neat concept. Just don't see for the life of me how this fits the theme, but that's just my lowly opinion...lol!

Thanks Andrew... Wasn't the theme Low Light? This shot was taken in Low Light, so maybe that's how it fits the theme. See the following shots also portraits taken in Low Light:

Just great ! A little more light for the eye and it would be perfect from my point of view.

The subject (where is this building? Shanghai?), light and composition are nice but, as it was mentioned before, the picture is a bit soft, and the sky is really noisy. What camera did you use? Have you tried a gaussian blur filter or noise ninja, then sharpen through lab color?

From your profile, I guess it must be Seoul?

Hi Phillipe, these impressive structures are the Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malayasia. I took the shot through glass and it had started raining. I am not sure what i can do about the noise in the sky. I will try the gaussian blur filter and sharpening in Lab Colour-thanks for the tip. The camera used-Cannon 400D.

Cheers!

You can also use a tool like Noise Ninja.

Cool, thanks again!

Thanks Eric for writing a comment.

I like it...I like the fact that you can see his eyes and expression...a little dark, but it's a difficult image to capture, all and all very nice.

Nice shot, but, maybe, this shot could have been posted in the Solitude topic.

Thank you for your honnest comments

Yeah this was a difficult photo to expose but you captured it the best you can. Ever consider cropping the photograph in that you only see the hands? My reasoning is that it looks to be better exposed and you can crop it to be panoramic. Just a thought.

Great shot Eric. Wonderful vivid colors, great angle. Where and what is this building?

Thanks Sher,it's an Orthodox Church in San Remo (Italy)

I think it is better here (wasn't it in symmetry before). But great shot again. There is something unique about your PP I just can't quite put my finger on...

Thanks Jason, for the PP it's a fake HDR ;-)

Love the contrast colors in this shot, the only thing I would change is the building is a bit tilted.

I would add one thing to the critique. To me, a combination of more highlights (as mentioned above) and a smaller aperture could do the job. Why not do it at f 8? f 11? I would love to see ALL of the image, I don't need any blur... :-)

Cool idea and Cutout anyways! :-)

christian > Yes I understand everything you said, but it's a self portrait, the light was the ambient light (and not my friend I think) So I made something like 50 pictures to get this one ...

Thanks for all your comments, they are really constructive

It's seems to be a bt dark.

Very interesting. I like it though. Very nice perspective. I like how it feels like it tells a story. :)

Congrats on the feature!

Wonderful image and pp work...looks like an old postcard you would pull out of your grandparents attic.

As everyone else has said, this is a lovely phot with great processing. I'm with Jason - would love to see the original, and personally I would like to know how you processed this. Very nice work!

Okay, I finally posted the original here: www.flickr.com/photos/uncommondepth/479206769/. To create this photo I processed the original to give it a softer desaturated appearance. I have a tutorial on the steps used to do that (using a different image) here: uncommondepth.wordpress.com/2007/04/25/processing-....

Next I used a couple of different texture layers with the blending mode set to overlay to achieve the aged look. For the textures I have one of a blank daguerotype and the other texture was a photo of ice.

Very good work! Much more interesting than the original! Compliments!

You are the master of this technique.

Nice bubbles..for me the shot is little dense..i would suggest more space or more concentration on one or several bubbles.

Reminds me vine or soft drinks due the colors, but also could be mineral water in a glass recipient or container. Cool bubbles and colors.

I don't think it works for this topic but still a nice bubbles shot !!

fine! Impressed of the blue colour!
