Title: A Very Old Grave
Post by: shibby on July 04, 2007, 04:56:16 pm

With a two-minute work over in photoshop, for some sky stuff & saturation, contrast etc.
I'm linking to Flickr as uploading the image didn't seem to work; I'll work it out some other time.
Edit: changed to medium sized image, large is well...large.

Welcome to LL forums.

Is a "two minute work over" a good thing?  If you get better results with a five minute work over -  why not give that a try?

Nice tones for a two minute job. I think this image has some potential. You've done a nice job of separating the tombstone from the sky- perhaps you could work to do the same for the grass. The middle right area where the grass is very light could use some darkening. I also think that the wide angle distortion works for this image.

Thanks, I'll give that a go next time I fire up photoshop.

A bit too much, perhaps. Think subtle. Keep it up.

I like this picture.
No real reason, it just grabs me. I want to "read" it.
Where is this ?

I'm wondering if colour would work due to the lichen ?
