Monks in movement
« on: October 23, 2014, 12:19:37 pm »

Sometimes revisiting and old photo and doing something different with it can realy lead to surprising results. In this case I cropped out most of a much bigger scene. Then I muted all the colors, applied
selective sharpening and some negative clarity on the white marble stairs. I am happy with it.

Why mute the colours?

Very interesting and the moody rendering suits the image. I obviously not seen the original, but that doesn't matter

+1.
I like the muted colors. They feel appropriate.

I like what's going on here, I don't mind the colour choice in fact I like it, but I just can't stop looking at the decapitated monk top left which lessens my appreciation of the image.
Perhaps that's just my shortcoming.

I agree - I like the feel just not the headless man.

A very interesting scene with all these Monks running around, muted colors work fine for me.

Taking a second look today to see about that Monk in half and tend to agree that he takes something away from the image, it could either be better without him, or, perhaps even a totally different crop where there would be a 'halved' person on each of the four sides of the crop moving in or out of the scene, to create some equilibirum in the pattern of monks in movement.

Kind Regards, Sander
