George, I really like your pp treatment in this shot-
It gives it a mid-century feel, which is very fitting for the scene-
Is that a sort of puffer fish hanging on the wall on the right?-



(I just thought I'd try the hyphen thing, but I think you're the hyphen pro )

System

I have no idea how I started doing that-

maybe because I know it irritates everybody-

oh well-

I don't think it's a puffer fish; it's got some kind of wheels and the black round thing in the middle looks like a clock-

I'll just have to ask next time I'm there-

thanks for looking and commenting-

George...this is your best shot yet....the details in this image is just amazing - from the "thanks for not smoking" sign to the "fish
on the wall is just wonderful. THanks for sharing! I love it.

yea.... I'm thinking there needs to be a tutorial on how to do this. I love it.

Excellent shot!

This is a great picture!
The thing that stood out to me was the missing lightbulbs.
That and the tones of blues and greens. And I think he wears that shirt just to color coordinate! Kind of him, don't you think!?

And where are the mirrors? I guess maybe guys don't care what it looks like as much as that it is done?

Great capture! Very interesting to look at. I enjoyed it a whole bunch!:D

Cool shot. The only thing missing is an "I Like Ike" poster.

Cheers,

George,

excellent shot full of life and sadness (so characteristic to your photography).

Truly hate the PP - I guess I am a weird guy, I like to keep photography separate and other forms of art separate... Don't pay too much attention to my rumblings

matt and seneca-

thanks much for the comments-

heather-

thank you-

look closer; the mirrors are there-

richard-

the 'I like ike' is behind the 'tippecanoe and tyler too'-

alex-

re pp-

I truly don't mind-

I appreciate you looking and commenting-

George,

This and the last one you posted are the only photos for which I feel this PP is "appropriate" and I REALLY like it for these two.

I've been wondering what application would put this technique to good use (me and my limited imagination) and now we have two superb examples and I'm starting to look for that tute that was asked for above. So, how about it, care to comment on how you did this?

System

gee, I hate to give up secrets-

this is a lr technique which you can use in acr-

I am sometimes using different blend modes to get the photo to where I want it-
