I know we got a lot of ice this week, but the theme lends itself to it. Plus I just got my new macro lens and it's way easier to macro ice then steam :D

So which picture/crop/color you guys like best? Or any other comments?

    Very nice idea in general, but...
    Neither- IMHOrolleyes1.gif - reminds me about either steamy or chilled ne_nau.gif

    First is a cool abstract, albeit a little on a soft side.

    Second one has the green coloration that has no obvious explanation and can be treated as dirt, inaccuracy, light's fall off - in any case, a distraction, at least compared to a rather pure shot #1.

    HTH

    Hmmm I take it this doesn't really look like ice? Shoot.

    I'm sorry, but not to me ne_nau.gif
    I mean, I can guess that's it's probably an ice, but it's not my immediate reaction.
    Cool shot though! thumb.gif

    Fair enough. I have about another 10 images I've considered. Since posting them all here would be a pain, here is the link to the gallery:

    If anyone wants to take the time to check out the photos and see if they like any, I'd apreciate it. Thank you.

    PS: Looks like North East is getting some snow tommorow, so I may yet get some shots in.

    I looked it over (man, is the server slow or is it just me?)
    I liked this one more than the others: http://www.divshare.com/download/232235-fa1

    However, I must say that they all look just like snapshots ne_nau.gif and hence require some major PS work to "deliver". deal.gif
    On the bright side, I've seen your other work and I'm sure you can pull it. thumb.gif

    I like the shot of the bird but the stick coming out of it's head is distracting and the shot is slightly soft. Cheers.

    Thank you all for your feedback. Jersey is getting some freezing rain/snow right now so this morning I managed to get some macro photography in (why yes, it is pretty uncomfortable, doing micro photography in the freezing rain, thanks for asking :D). Anyhow, I rather like the results. I rather like 2 and 3 myself. I also fixed up the bird a bit.


    1. Frozen Rain on my car.

    2. Evergreens

    3. More evergreens

    4. Pinecone (or a very sneaky armadillo).

    5. Sharpened and de-sticked bird.

    My thoughts:
    1. It does not tell me anything about the car, but it does look chilled. thumb.gif
      I vote for this one! deal.gif
    2. Nice, but looks somehow similar to Tlee and Pemmett entries, you'd be at disadvantage
    3. same as #2
    4. Again, no clue this is a pinecone; In general, less punch than #1
    5. Well, it's a bird and the snowy background.... If the theme were "bird or snow"...ne_nau.gif

    Spasibo za feedback :D I'm not sure that #1 has enough "pop". I'm not sure that #2+#3 are similar to Pemmet's, and only somewhat to Tlee's. I dunno, I'm conflicted. I'll prolly enter #3 or #1. We'll see.

    Ne za chto :-)

    In any case, the choice is yours, and I'm not the judge (this time lol3.gif-)

    May try some bold LAB curves on #3? headscratch.gif
