Ch41: do any of these catch your eye?

The Crow
These I like because they all have the man-made structure and the crow.


This one needs some post processing.


I like this one especially because it is just the architecture and the bird. He was actually perched on the corner and had it focused but was in the process of framing when he flew of, so I fired!

All shots taken 17th June '05

Thanks for looking

Of the three, I like the third best. Just seems to fit more with the theme of the movie!

Can I be brutal and mean and just say, "no".

Not yet, but you might be getting there. I feel guilty when I am sooooooooon not constructive.

How you present it, with Type, whatever, that might help.

Hi Adrian,
Of the three, #3 is best. The blurry crow works. You may want to make it more mysterious and ditch the railing as I find it distracting. The crow has so much potential.

Just my humble opinion,

I like #3 the best, it seems the most interesting by far. I would embrace the motion blur of the crow. Oooh, and maybe make it a blood red duotone.

Uh, or not.

of course you can. I'd always rather someone said something rather than nothing. Saying "no" means something, silence can be taken many ways, here it would probably be ambivalence.

I wasn't really having a productive afternoon and my ideas weren't coming out as I wanted.

Chris, I see what you mean about cropping. I've no time now to reshoot anything, so I'll work on my third crow.

just for a larf

Ya know, I really loved the original of this shot. I feel it represented the movie and the emotion of it very well. (1/2 Native American myself, I know the signifigance of the crow) Maybe with this one, play with the saturation a bit. It could work. I just feel there is a tad too much red.

Just my .02, nothing more.

thanks Gator, with this version, I was just messin'.
I've posted my final version in the entries thread and that one is pretty close to B&W.
