I like the haunted atmosphere. It would make a good halloween poster.

Thanks you Sarah, It is good to hear back from you, Regards,


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 1/6/2006
Hi Sameer,
Yes dear, there is lots of PS work involved in here, The moon by it self is a diffrent picture that I took it using 300mm Lens and then fitted in this image, after that used CS2 to bring more details, added a mix between copper effect, difusing effect and sepia, after that and the final stage was the smart sharpening in CS2,
I hope this has helped,
Regards,


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 1/6/2006
Thanks Mohamed for your kind comment, It is always good to receive from you, kind regards,


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 1/6/2006
Hi Mervo,
It is almost imposible to expose the moon this way in a close range capture, my trick is, I always take many shots for the sky and the moon, when the moon is my aim, I use a 300mm lens, maximum focal length, then compine it in pictures this way, this will help bringing up more details and make it look bigger than usuall, I hope this helped, Regards,


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 1/6/2006
Thanks you Jeanette, Your comment is much appreciated, and btw, it was a mix between Rain and Snow, or what we call it wet snow :) '
Cheers dear,

Beautiful composition, great PS work and very nice contrast and tones. It all gives the photo that mysterious looking.
Best regards.


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 1/8/2006
Hi Ameed,
really a great night shot with the special toning, the ran effect and the glowing moon and lights. Is this a composing or a "one-shot" photography? Anyway, you're definitely a master in night shots.

best wishes,
Thilo


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 1/8/2006
Thanks Zahraa for your kind comment and really glad you liked it, thanks once again, Regards,


Steven vanHaaster   {K:888} 1/8/2006
This photo has a really eerie feel to it. I like the way the the street light illuminates the rain immediately around it. Nice work
Steve


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 1/8/2006
Thanks you Thilo for your kind comment, really it means allot to me specially it came from a great photographer such as your self.
Actually it is two in one, the Moon is taken seperetly in a clear night with a 300mm lense, added to this picture with CS2, then tones togather to get this effect,
I am really glad you liked it once again,
Kind regards,


Eman Shokry   {K:5361} 1/9/2006

Happy Feast

Saeed Al Shamsi   {K:47515} 1/9/2006
Some time I prefer enjoying looking at the work, and have no critiques towards it, this one of those kinds of images where one feel its live scene more than still image. Congrats on such outstanding job.
Eid Mubarak.

I think that all of your works have a potential power,that's peaceful,especially I was attracted by this one,light of street lamp and mooonlight was accordant. Very work,cheers

stingRay .   {K:136763} 1/14/2006
Beautiful night shot Ameed. I love the near sepia look to this composition, the tones are wonderful. The bringing together of natural nightlight (the moon) and man-made nightlight is a superb idea. I have to say that the design of your lamposts over there are great.

Thank-you for your recent visit to me and might I say that you have a wonderful portfolio. Warm regards Ameed, hope to 'see' you again...Ray


Pawel Kwasnicki   {K:9573} 1/16/2006

Fantastic beauty....

Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:85750} 7/30/2006
Very atmospheric one, almost haunted! A capture of that time when one feels to be observed by eyes in the night! Brrrrr!

Great shot!


Tony Diana   {K:13396} 8/11/2006
Saludos

La imagen está muy bien pero se nota demasiado el retoque.

Le recomiendo que cuando use recortes, en la selección, realice un calado de 5 pixels


John Hatz   {K:138564} 5/31/2007
Oh my GOD! Even the moon looks collaged as the pixel 'steps' roundly proof that the idea is great and you grt excellent result, I love the soft color from the long exposure at the background but surely the most impressive thing here is the raindrops that sparkling on the lamp's lighting... really that shot gives me the mood for a.....singing in the rain!!! :-D Fantastic work and worths the excellent rate. I could give a bit more 'air' to the lamps at the right but that is not big deal, complements for that exctremely nice idea Ameed...lol...I must try something like that...if you don't mind! :-D I love it!!!


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42023} 5/31/2007
Thanks John once again for your kind comment,
I don't concider this as a high rating as it is below the 6 :)
You are totally right about giving more space on the right of the lamp, my excuse is that this picture is taken a year and a half ago :) and it was really cold lol, actually this is not rain, it is wet snow, it was almost 0 degree that time,
Please feel free to try it and let me know, I would love to see the result :)
Kind regards,
