Title: Savage Mill Dive Bar
Post by: Bob_B on October 31, 2021, 03:09:10 pm

The "Dive Bar" is nestled in the small inner courtyard of the Savage Mill complex. A watercolor rendering seemed appropriate for this quaint cafe.

Your thoughts and suggestions are always welcomed, and I thank you for taking the time to view my photograph.

I do like this one but find the vignette too strong. If you are able, can you reduce it so the it has a more natural, gradual blend with image.

I agree with John R's suggestion.

The establishment looks a bit too elegant to fit the usual meaning of a "dive."

Superb but also agree with the too strong vignette. Other than that, it's a beauty with soft colors and a very nice building.

I agree with degrub and the comment to reduce vignetting.  Make a nice post card.

I lightened up the vignette, hopefully without taking away the 'wash' effect that I like surrounding the subject.
