Here's something I was working on this morning. While I like the color version, the toned version also seems to fit.

Comments?

I like it in color better. Pretty neat shot.

Angelo · April 20, 2005

super cool! color all the way.

I like the color best. What about sepia? What about playing with it some more, it is a super cool idea.

Agreed....maybe play with some toning... I like it.

I'll be that odd one who shuns the popular majority and say I prefer the B&W.:D

You have two patterns, the chains and their shadows. The B&W allows you to see the shadow pattern better than the color one.

I couldn't tell exactly what it was until I looked at the B&W one.

I also like the B&W, but I've been on B&W jag lately so I'm a little jaded.

Somehow it seems more visceral. The color version is a little soft in the contrast department, there's no rich dark tones. (Easily corrected using levels)

Ooooh YES!
Love that last one. That does it for me. Great shot!

Khaos · April 21, 2005

Yep. Good crop too.

aero-nut · April 21, 2005

Yup Yup!!! Nice job.

Spockling,

I personally prefer the toning in the first B&W over the second.

I really like the last version, somehow though my mind is looking for a little more of a platimum tone in the highlights of the chains. That said it is still a very captivating image no matter how you tone it.

beautiful contrast here and tones. I keep looking at it though and I start to wonder what it would look like if you got behind the chains and pointed the camera toward whatever it is in the right side of the photograph? Is there any way to do that? something about it as is doesn't repeat enough for me.

Two more....

Lucky Hack · April 26, 2005

Wow, I'm really impressed! What an improvement! I love the high contrast and the shallow DOF with the second layer in the background an the contrast between things mechanical and natural. Very cool.

I like the contrast of the black and white! seems more crisp too.

nice
