About Subject background: After a suggestion of Hugo, I made a rework of this picture (http://www.usefilm.com/image/573234.html) to upload it in the best picture project. hope you like my PS attack =)

PS concept: different re/un-cropping, different work on lighting.

As always: Honest feedback highly appreciated.

Pinar Yazicioglu   {K:7607} 12/8/2004
great PS intervention. what is this? motion blur?! The only thing problematic is the btw the legs; the area is not blurred.But still the photo is great


Maria Luisa Vial   {K:36017} 12/8/2004
I remember this shot Thilo... It was the first time I view your pictures... It was incredibly beautiful, and still is incredibly beautiful... Love the E.T. form in the background... Excellent lighting... I like very much the cropping amd the lighting... and if you would make me decide for either one, it will be a very hard choice for me... :)

Keep the good work my friend...

Cheers,

MaLuisa

Hi Thilo,hat mir damals schon sehr gefallen, und gefällt mir immer wieder.Eines der Bilder,die man gerne öfter anschaut! (könnte es sein,dass es ein bißchen nach Holga aussieht?)Super gemacht.
LG,Ursula


Maja Gligoric   {K:13402} 12/8/2004
Horror movie! :) Nice PS work!

I'll use this space to ask about this project.
What is the point of this project?
Should we upload new photo, or photo which we think is our best from portfolio?

Regards


Fadel J   {K:13512} 12/9/2004

Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59796} 12/9/2004
Fantastic image with an almost scary silhuette....makes me think of E.T.

Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 12/9/2004
This one has more impact, the figure is in greater prominence, and the dark line from it comes straight at the viewer.


Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 12/9/2004
Spooky image.. great mood in this shot. Might have wished to get more black.. now the darkness is more greyish. I like it though.. very nice shot!

Dear Maja,

if I could answer this question ;-)

To be honest: I don't know it. My first entry was a completely new picture. my second and my third an old one...

thx for the feedback!

hope to see some pictures of you soon.

thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 12/9/2004
Hi Pinar,

thanks for your feedback.

as for the PS intervention: To be honest, the PS part is relatively small here. It's huge if you compare the original version with the new one. that's the reason for the "PS attack" in the about =).

take care
thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 12/9/2004

Hi Ursula,

es hat schon einen seltsamen style, aber ich glaube nicht, dass so ein holga-bild bei den lichtverhältnissen möglich ist ;-)

danke fürs feedback,

thilo

Very x-fileish to me - so much I have a hard time seeing anything else actually :-) Good work - I like the long shadow.


Maria Luisa Vial   {K:36017} 12/9/2004
Yup... Our first meeting was with this one... I entered to your portfolio and felt in love with them... :)

Thanks for being my friend...

Cheers,

MaLuisa

P.S. Hope you are feeling fine by now... :)


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 12/9/2004
Hi MaLuisa,

I feel A LOT better now ;-)

Richard Evans   {K:109} 12/9/2004
Wow, what more can I say! This works really well.


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184670} 12/10/2004
Hi Thilo, This one is definately eledgible for a third BIP in a row...;o) I do believe this is the most dramatic and strong shot, and thus YOUR best shot of 2004, althoug here are quite a few close "runners-up"...

In comparison to the one you posted initially, I do think the work on the toning is much more subtle and stronger, but centering the compsoition is not quite an improvement (from my point of view...;) Nonetheless I still think it's awesome!

Cheers,

Hugo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 12/10/2004
Hi Hugo,

I was sure that you won't like the centering. =)
My reason for doing so is the shadow casting. It's straight downward, so that the off-centering in the first image produces a disharmony in my opinion that won't fit with the subject. If the shadow would be different and not so straightforward, the off-centering would definitely be THE choice. just my 2 cents though =)

anyway, thanks for the encouragement, my friend. your different and valuable opinions helped me a lot the past months. I won't miss them =)

take care and my best wishes for 2005,

thilo


P LL   {K:30509} 12/13/2004
Hi Thilo,
I like the atmosphere that you made. Beyond the dark there is the light. He waits with the hope to be illuminated...this is the essence of our life!
Bravo.

Ivan Jimenez   {K:9098} 12/14/2004
For some reason this image reminds me of ET (yes, the Spielberg movie...), and this, bearing in mind I cried on that movie, it is a very very good thing...

There has been so many days without commenting.. now I got is a impossible challenger.
Another simple work.. but what is more remarkable is that a result of co-working. That?s makes usefilm a special place: we are friends, trying to learn together.
And I?m always learning with you.

A man arriving into town looking for his long lost lady friend. But who knows what the situation with the lady is - Will she welcome him or Will she reject him......For the answer - READ ON.

Wonderful image for a novel title.

Way to go Thilo! This one is on a whole different level. Surreal, alien, and possibly metaphysical. Congrats on the BIP!!

Sie sind ja ein Fotomeister, und ich bin immer eifersüchtig auf Ihre Fähigkeit mit der Camera.
