nice layering and post prodction image

Thanks again everyone. Much appreciated.

VT - That is the exact look I was going for - "crossed-lomoholganized-artsy-fartsy-something". Couldn't have described it better :)

looks like an old photograph with a lot of history ... normally i don't like heavy editing or added layers, but this is an interesting shot! nice work!

I don't normally go for this sort of thing, but this really works for me. I think it comes down to a couple things:

1. The photo has more interesting details than before.
2. As Lindy said, it fits the subject (LA).

simple...........

and amazing

How in the world did you get that shot? Is it near a station? I love how you can see that little ring of light in the bulb. Very cool.

How sad.... but it's really a wonderful composition.

very nice!

i really like DOF and focus, and the very light reflection! (what kind of surface is the fly on?)

Maybe the subject is just a bit too much in the center? (not sure...)

This is lovely. They fly looks like a dead mechanical robot. :)

Mine is still alive ;-)

THis is the first time EVER in my life I have felt sorry for a fly! Awesome shot.

Maybe he's off to the Tar Pits with Jackie Boy? I love the look of this!

Vernon... I just checked back here to tutorials, remembered your words on posting directions for this one, no tutorial found, gentle reminder... as July must have been crazy busy for you

yes, it's been a crazy busy month and I totally forgot about it.. *sorry*
I have all the text done, now I'll make the screenshots and put them together.

cheers
v.t.

just went to the site to check it out & thank you Vernon, should be great fun

I guess that's what they get for going off road in a 2wd car ;) Possibly if you were a little higher looking down on the car?

cool find-thanks for sharing-i would love to know where this is!

it's near Marseille, in south of France.
need more info ? :)

Thanks-it looks like an awesome place! Oh, i like the vignetting!

Its different.

I love the vibrant colors and how you captured the flowers at various stages of bloom and growth. The presence of the bee makes the shot fun too!

Beautiful composition and colours. I was very attracted to the image before I noticed the bee... Great work!

really nice sharpness colour tones and balance

Love the colours! Nie work Lindy.

thanks for the commments... :)

mmmmmm chocolate liquor

Great find Brandon.

Hah! Hey thanks everyone.

Mmm, my kind of station! Nice find.

There should be one on every corner. Wonderful.

It'd be more popular than Starbucks!

Lovely exposure. I love the light in the tunnel. I think perhaps a square crop off the top to get rid of some of the black area would help this.

You know I like this pic. I wouldn't crop the top it would it ruin the ratio's, he needs to be a small shuffling figure.

I to like this photo, but I agree with elp when suggesting to crop the top of it. It will add more focus to your subject. Nice job though! =)

Beautiful. I love the contrast, it really pulls you into the scene. I like it as is, uncropped.

Beautiful photo. Perhaps too centered the main subject, but nice anyway.

I agree with Beamer's observation too. Focus on the front rim would accent the ridges on the front and the curves in the petals at the right edge of the frame. Since the back side is already blurred, I don't think you give up much to do this.

I like it (with the little focused space at the right side)! A bit ambiguous, interesting atmosphere!

I like it as is.
The blur in front gives this photo a sense of flow.
Beautiful tones. :)

It's a beautiful shot... perfect for the topic. I love the deep reds!

The color is very rich, although I think it would look MUCH better if it has better lighting, or possible even bringing out the highlights in PS or something. I think it would give it a bit of a punch. I love the angle though. :)

.moses.

Thanks Ben! Its shot in Singapore.

Wow... that's wild.

Very cool stairs!

Very nice shot.
Looks like these building have taken a beating and keep on kicking!
Wonderful work!

Those stairs are crazy! Great shot.
