Hi..dear Wolf...nice to meet you...and thanks.- Regards.- LUIS


Andre Denis   {K:61621} 10/12/2009
Hi Luis,
I like the rich colour and composition of this one. I'm thinking the painterly effects are maybe a bit too strong and not needed. Like some paintings, it looks great from a distance, but up close, I'm not so sure.

Yet, the longer I look at it, the more I like it. :)
Andre


Luis  Steinberg    {K:19636} 10/12/2009
Dear Andre...I agree with you..always I'm a critic of the abuse of plugins art effect in the photos.- For me the photo when is good and told a story is enough, but sometimes we are confuse.- Yes...Andre !!! is a good critic with my own stamp, THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luis


Tony Smallman   {K:18706} 10/12/2009
Excellent photo 77777 but spoilt by the unnecessary painterly filter- it adds nothing to a perfectly wonderful scene.
Best Wishes, Tony


Luis  Steinberg    {K:19636} 10/12/2009
Tony I AGREE the painterly filter is a baroque adding to a wonder scene, yes my friend, is a good critic and I give a great value to this sincerely and technical comment BRAVO BY THE COMMENT !!!
Sometimes we (some photographers) in the digital edition way, thought that with some plugin(like dry brush...) the image would impact more...and more.-

But the effect is in the contrary.-

Yes dear Tony...we learn, and learn .-

The problem is that we know before !!!! those concepts...yes.- Double wrong!!!

I must apologize with myself...jejejejejeje.- WISHES.- LUIS


Malules Fernandez   {K:34599} 10/12/2009
Me preguntaba lo mismo que Tony. Por qué usar el efecto pintura, si la foto es una maravilla??
Bueno, he leído la respuesta... La toma es deliciosa, el color también. Y el efecto pictórico lo tiene en sí mismo.
un abrazo, Luis,
Malules


Luis  Steinberg    {K:19636} 10/12/2009
Prometo flagelarme..jejejejejejeje, mirá que un tipo con tanta experiencia haciendojuegos de chico y arruinando una buena foto que dio mucho trabajo...Gracias Malules.- Abrazo.- LUIS


Avi     {K:67629} 10/13/2009
Andre and Tony have already said it, so I am not going to say it again. You know already.. good shot, would love to see the original.
best, Avi

Scene straight from Bill Joel's "Piano Man"...? Great image..!!


Tony Smallman   {K:18706} 10/13/2009
Deja de flagelarte Luis!!He cometido el mismo error y la reaccion en Usefilm era la misma...desde entonces ......nunca jamas!!!
Saludos desde Antequera, Tony

Andre Denis   {K:61621} 10/14/2009
Hi Luis,
I have to say it is very refreshing to meet someone who can take a little bit of criticizm without getting all upset.

Of course it is always fun and interesting to experiment with things like this. We shouldn't take ourselves so serious that we never stray from the "straight, normal image".
Andre


Luis  Steinberg    {K:19636} 10/14/2009
Dear Andre my critic is always sincerly and hard, because the photo art for me is not a "hobby", is the expression of my fantasy and my vision of the world, you can see humans..persons...in a stage or in the street...even with some dreaming look...
I agree with you the photo is a fun experiment...
Arts are experimental always without hard rules
Look and see Andre, this painter plugin is a sample of the abuse of some digital resources...
And they are many of mine comments with criticizm in that way.- Sincerly auto- critic is essential and also sincerely and intelligent is a great moment for any author...Regards.- LUIS:):)


Luis  Steinberg    {K:19636} 10/14/2009
Hey !!! is a great critic..jejejejeje Wonder idea...LUIS


Luis  Steinberg    {K:19636} 10/14/2009
Dear Avi thanks... Was Txules with you...? Tell me...Luis


Avi     {K:67629} 10/14/2009
yes, we spend some good time over the past weekend. we would have loved to spend much more time.. but alas, it's always against us.. time !!! :)
cheers, Avi

prefiero la otra, pero esta no es mala en absoluto
un abrazo....jd

The separation of the foreground from the background is very string here, Kuis, both by DoF as by perspective. The timing and the exposure balance are also good and string, and I am expecially glad to see such a contrast between the darker skin hues of the man in the foreground against the also dark background wall. (Dark against dark, that is.)

But the face in the foreground is pixelated in a too hard way... It doesn't convince as a portrait and it doesn't convince as a cartoon-like drawing too. It convinces perhaps as a raw collage of shapes that all together generate "a face", but all the latent "symbolism" fails under the hard pixelated view of the front face. A pity since the gradients are still there and do rpeserve the plasticity of the face expression.

How did that raw look came into the image?

Cheers!

Nick


Luis  Steinberg    {K:19636} 10/19/2009
Dear Nick... The face is pixelated...mmm...and other critic commnets...
They were captured in RAW format with 12 megapixeles...I canto believe...maybe the painter I'll see....

Well...you can read other comments

I told some friends at USF in the replies that the painting plug in is not the best in those images.-

I'll upload again the image without paint effect, and you tell me about..ok??? Hugs.- LUIS


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:126443} 10/20/2009
I will be glad to tell you again, Luis.

Not only the captured RAW-format plays a role but all subsequent steps of work. Here, for example, I see small squares as "beard hairs" on his chin. It just looks like the typical compression/pixelation artefacts by downscaling and choosing some certain JPEG quality level. And it also looks like the typical effects of rasing contrasts.

Cheers!

Nick
