I haven't had much time to work on this project this week (no pun intented!) I saw this driving on Friday, and saw "The Effects of Time"... Any input? :dunno

Interesting idea!! I like it!

It's a good idea. Since rust is the thrust (!) of the picture, I'd find a way to emphasize it, both in the color and the composition.

I believe some lab curve steeping might help the punch up the colors.

landrum

Okay. This one I punched up the curves and contrast to pull the rust out more...



And then I played around a little more with cmyk channels...



What do you think of these??

landrum

Maybe one of these...?

Art Time:



or Time For A Bath!



Any more input???

I like your first redo with the boosted contrast. The second redo is a bit overdone for me.
The first redo really makes the tubes pop, it fits perfectly in the context of time if you ask me.
The rust brown colors are attractive. Beauty in the scrapheap...

Landrum, definately go with the first Redo of the pipes. Colors are rich, looks really good. Nice contrast against that green grass.

Thanks for your input...I agree with the first color correction too.
