Well, I used my Whipping Post post of the week just last night, so this'll have to go here! But feel free to whip it anyway... I'm thinking about having this printed as large as it can be so any little nitpicks will help!!



Thanks for looking!!

Thanks Awais. It's a close up of two columns on the front of a building nearby here in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Very nice! I'm always amazed that we can get something hard to look organic.:D I've found headstones similar to the column with the garland. You have a good balance in your greyscale, nice blacks. There is also great interest in the different shapes that are present. The only thing I really saw that you may want to tweak, (this may seem minor but you did say nit pick ), there is a spot under the garland as it starts to wind around the column that you may want to clone out. I realize that it is probably an imperfection in the material but when I first looked at it I thought it may have been bird poo. I know because of the placement it wasnt' but it is lighter to everything else in the shot and a distraction.

Nicely done, I can definately see this huge! Dizzy

I haven't quite figured that part out just yet, Dizzy!

I haven't had the time to figure out what the resolution will allow me to reasonably print yet or what the cost/cost of frame will run me... But I'm thinking in the area of poster sized... might need to recrop for that, I think it's cropped to 8x10 at the moment, but that's just because 8x10 is the max my printer will do!

Close to poster sized with a nice mat around it sounds good at the moment!
