    Re: Drip Drop

    Its a nice shot good, framing and its cool how u go the drop to say like that, the red tint takes the feel away, how about u make it black and white it might look better

    Hi there,

    I saw you picture yesterday and I meant to comment on it but just forgot about it...

    Actually, I think that this is an interesting and well executed concept. The color cast also add to the picture. Somehow, I wonder if having the base of the tap straight would be better (or not). Either way, it works for me.

    Re: Drip Drop

    Hello

    I would really consider color correcting this, try adding blue and subtracting red. I also like it cropped vertically, either side brings attention to the faucset which is a great subject. Try cropping off the space to the right or cropping off the handle on the left. Ether crop seems to bring attention to the subject.

    Regards,

    Re: Drip Drop

    I agree. I like the subject, but the colours really bother me, almost to a point where I have to turn my head while looking at it. Maybe I just need glasses, but this picture isn't helping me with that!
    I would like to see this in B and W.

    Re: Drip Drop

    I hate to heap more shame upon your head but the color is a bit much . Did you use daylight film? Daylight film has a tendancy to warm up like that in artificial light. I would disagree with the majority, however, and say that black and white is not the answer. It is too red. Red almost always goes to black when converted. You might get a very dark picture with little recognizable detail. Besides, black and white will not rescue an ailing photograph .

    Re: Drip Drop

    Just for the record, I like the red tint. Brings some intensity to the shot. Almost makes the drip look like its sweat. I'm assuming that you've seen the shot color corrected and decided to go with the red. How did it look corrected? ...

    Re: Drip Drop

    I agree with some of the previous posts. I would prefer a vertical crop and either color correction or a B&W conversion. Otherwise, nice concept.

    I didnt say that b/w would save a picture or thats what its used for, but it adds a different perspective towards it, a different feel

    Lightbulb Try the conversion

    I am afraid that I shall have to eat my words ;) . I went ahead and tried converting the picture to black and white. It actually worked quite well. The faucet now has a wonderful silver color. Convert to your heart's content.
