    Re: Late Season Berries

    The colors work fine (although maybe a little less saturated would do...just a sprinkle less)

    And i like how everything points towards the center....

    but all in all for me it doesn't do much... i mean it doesn't keep me watching....

    Good effort...I'm sure there will be those who can be more accurate in their critique!

    I'm a sucker for this sort of modification. I juiced up the color to give it sort of an unreal look and to pop in a big way. This is the exact opposite of the sillohette in the last shot I posted today. The sharpness was kept low because, well, I don't know why! It just looked better to me with that sort of fuzzy look. Not too bad for what is essentially weeds on the side of the road!

    Re: Late Season Berries

    Well if the intent of this images is to be "Berries" they sure are hard to see.

    As for the color enhancements and effects used here they don't really work for me but don't offend me either.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Mwfanelli2 - Well, the photo collage effect is interesting, at least from an experimental standpoint. But overall, I think the photo / effect is a little too distracted, and as Marc said probably oversaturated also. I think it could work if everything had been sharp, but it just seems like so much of it is blurry/soft... Gotta get and use that tripod even if it's a pain in the neck -- you'll be happy later if you do.
