First thoughts DSS#35

First thoughts here please?

MrsCue

That looks so cool!

Not sure I can CC though, as I never seem to be able to get things right myself lol. I keep trying though

Super

I would clone out the white spots on the upper left though...

I like the concept and composition, but the lighting around the left eye isn't all that pleasing. A little harsh.

I like where you are going with this. Nice idea.

angevin1

Thanks all. Just getting into the Blue mode and feeling it a bit. So thanks for the input~

angevin1

So..Still working towards the theme. I have another idea in mind...what say you? Which seems to lean more for you? The eyes, or the Building?

adbsgicom

I like the first one. More interesting, IMO.

angevin1

Thanks for the update Andrew! We'll see how I can improve it

I keep agreeing with Andrew:)
Go for the first one--I think there will probably be a few "sky" entries.

Are you kidding?

The eyes, hands down. Wonderful!!

The eyes have it!

Love it!
Two thoughts:
wondering what a slightly less crop would look like
and
I know a reshoot is not probably gonna happen but I wonder what a snooted light aimed at the back side of the glasses would do. If it's even possible to pull that off? Just passing on my thought for next time

I like the eyes too. Wouldn't light reflecting on the back of the glasses create a weird lighting reflection on the eyes/face?

I'm quite amazed. I assume you had a tripod here (or very steady hands). Did you use the internal noise reduction, external or both on this? Amazingly sharp for ISO 12800!! Still like the first image best.

Laid it out the car window actually Andrew. I keep noise reduction on in cam, all the time. And played with the slider in LR2 as well...but thats it..didn't even run it thru my Noiseware app. Just popped it into LR2 and here it is~

Yeah, I never found anything so I am going with the eyes~

Dang nice picture for a 'fall-back'.

This one is really good. I love the shadow play.

For the challenge, I think I would stick with the eyes. It stands out more in the gallery.
