    Vintage

    I have been killing time by making HDR's. I dunno... I like them. I was a little unsure of this composition. how did I do? those people are my grandparents just in case you were wondering.
    I don't want it, I just need it...to breath ...to feel ...to know I'm alive.

    Re: Vintage

    I will have to meditate on this to decide whether or not I "like" this, but I certainly have to agree that it is very well done. As a piece of digital art, I think it works pretty well. There is lots to look at and I think the composition is fine, especially with the mirror.

    Cheers

    Re: Vintage

    I really like the image and you have achieved the vintage effect very well, only bit i would say that spoils it is the PVC window you can see in the mirror a bit modern compared.
    But over all i would say a really nice image a good HDR.
    Well done.

    Very nice image, has a CG feel to it. My only complaint is the heavy distortion makes you feel a bit dizzy.

    NOt a bad shot or effect. The only part that really hurts it IMO is the right-side distortion of the lamp, it just goes over the top (though some folks may like that type of distortion). Perhaps a center crop would also be interesting.

    Re: Vintage

    A very interesting shot..looks more like a painting. Put with a nice vintage frame...would look great in a darker setting..library or den.
    Please ask to edit photos and I'll do the same! :thumbsup:
    Thx, Rod

    I like the arty effect on this one - nice pic and the composition suits it perfectly.

    Wonderfully warm colors and textures here. Lots of detail to hold my attention.

    I realize the composition wouldn't have been possible without a wide angle lens, but the effect (distortion) is too overpowering IMO.

    What's a Loupe for anyway?
