Help! is it me

Not sure if "it is you" or not , roger, but I love it. Really fits the title in a comical way. Very nice b/w image. I really don't have anything to offer on this one except great job.

Great shot, Roger! I love the contrast between the lighter door and the dark stumps and brush around it. This is a fairly creepy pic...lol.

Hello Roger
One of my favourites from you. The old door almost becomes a grave slab as you pick out the cross in the old panels. The exposure seems spot on as well as the door stands out so well from the foliage etc.

Very earie shot Roger. Did you venture down at all? Its a thumbs up from me - Da Iawn

One man's trash is another man's surreal segue through art. Very interesting Roger! I see some faces in the chipping that add to you whole door to the under world feeling. A good catch! You have definitely transformed the mundane with this.

Thanks to all,

CL - its the faces that gave me the title LOL

Barty - not likely; didn't have the right change Hehe!

Tom - thanks much appreciated and glad you like it.

Emily - Creepy is what I was aiming for so glad it works.

srobb - Thanks I sometimes wonder about my sanity - so does the boss.

I like the concept, IMO it works perfect.

Love the way the door stands out and is very clear among the bush. My only critique would be that it needs deep rich blacks to sort of juxtapose the white painted door. The grey to dark grey bush around it isn't doing it enough for some reason.

Good going, Roger. i like your imagination here in naming the shot. I feel it is a good image, but I agree with Liban in that I feel as if there are not enough deep blacker areas to bring a little more depth and contrast. A mild curves adj may do it. Well seen, Roger

Awesome photo! The cross on the door is great. I like the way it fades away into the chipped white paint towards the bottom.

Gary, Leels

Is this going to far with the black - still learning about curves in PSP?

WOW! I liked the original, but the second one really stands out! It isn't too far. Great concept and title!

Looks good to me, a great improvement over the original, which I thought was lacking in contrast.

No, Roger. Judging from my monitor you've done a great job in improving on this without going too far. You've seemed to manage the balance quite good.

Leels, Paul, Marty,

Thanks, glad you like it - as you can guess I normally adjust levels, contrast and thats about it normally, but changing colour to B&W I'm still learning. B&W Film is so much easier.
