Post by: Slobodan Blagojevic on January 11, 2019, 12:24:40 pm: A bit too much blue for my taste, but otherwise a very fine shot, atmosphere, human element, elongated composition.

For better or worse, I t appears to be a conscious decision to draw the viewer in. The more ‘realistic’ (?), ‘correct’ (?) version presented by Telecaster doesn’t have the same dynamic. I appreciate the original post, although being too stuck in my ways at times, I might have (incorrectly) tones down the blues.

As another old fuddy-duddy, I must agree with Terry.

You've shown over and over that you have excellent taste and perception, so you must be one of us old fuddy-duddies and not just some young whipper-snapper. ;D

Post by: Cornfield on January 14, 2019, 04:55:40 am: Thanks Francois. The strong blue version was produced at the request of a client for a large 2.5 Mtr wide print to match the scheme of a large room.

Post by: Rayyan on January 14, 2019, 05:52:10 am: If the client is happy....the musings here are worth...well whatever they are worth!

If it was an image for forensic purposes...but for atmosphere, I like the original.

Best

Post by: Paulo Bizarro on January 14, 2019, 07:32:45 am: Vivid blue versus grey/dead blue, I understand why the client prefers the former. Me too. Well done.
