beautiful. classic composition.

beautiful

Just perfect.

Thanks for the comments and feature. This is an old Metis Indian cemetery. I felt very fortunate to just stumble upon it while out for a drive last weekend. I am doing a series on cemeteries and abandoned farm buildings.

You are a winner - I do not think I ever saw so many stars. When I look at this example, this cross with the beautiful sky, I know why. Thumbs up.

That frightens this picture! It is true that it looks like to be alive. The atmosphere is well "retranscribed" in your photo

Creepy and beautiful at the same time...I stay here until eyes open :))

Yikes!!!! Love it even though it makes my skin crawl. Awesome!

Wow. This is really haunting. I had to really look at it to realize that it wasn't a real person!

Very eerie image...which makes it a really great image.

So "Six Feet Under" - great image!

fantastic capture! perfect black and white.

good job

Terrific!

Great DOF, great pic

fantastic.

!!!

great atmoshpere

black and white as it should be

the color version is better, anyway congrat

This looks too good to be processed!!

Great processing! This may have been easy, but the results are top notch.

I have to hand it to ya...you are really good at this vintage stuff. Great photo! :)

I found a tutorial online that explains the basis of these images: www.adobe.com/designcenter/photoshop/articles/phsc.... This is pretty much how my images are done, except that I may use many different textures and also different images, and I change the blend modes. I've also been creating my own brushes from little snippets of my texture images, so sometimes I'll paint a 'grungy' layer for blending.

Also, another technique that I'll use is to copy a texture layer and paste it as a new channel, make a channel selection and then apply a curves adjustment. Something to play around with for anyone who is interested.

Excellent link and excellent photo!

Yes - this treatment looks just like the 500+ 1960-something kodachrome slides that I've got stored in my basement

i really like the processing but i'd also would have liked to see the handle of the rod. well chosen perspective!

great processing and great capture!

Really nice shot with a great nostalgia to it; the fact that the handle of the rod is cropped definitely the eye, and I don't know if the shot would be improved if it weren't (?)

Thanks eli !!Not sure too ;-))

Superb compo and excellent on the subject (et oui !!!)
;-))

Merci, Jean-Marc!

great processing - has a surreal touch.

Thanks, Kurt, coming from you, it's flattering :O)

This was taken in the desert of Atacama (Chile) ... a few years ago, and post-processed last week.

beautiful. i like the abstract touch of the photo and the contrasting colors.

Wow, fantastic - I like the colors, the clouds and this little window on the top left tower..so poetic - something like a surrealist painting !! Congrats !

really like this one! great composition and nice antique look.

ghosts - i always knew they exist.

Beautiful - looks like a BW polaroid transfer.

yes, it looks like polaroid transfer.
all digital processed, as excercise for my skills :-)))

haha kurt,

Intresting shot. A bit overmanipulated.
