Do you like heavily modified images?

Remember the perception of art can be quite individual, a lot like music guess, you either like it or not. Manipulated images has its place. I like the leaf images and the bikes with the water-colour style.

...and the bikes with the water-colour style.

Shhh! Don't remind Don of water colours

I am not too much a friend of over processed images. Rogers is ok for me, Robbies not. From Dons pics, only #3 works for me (I actually like it, maybe I should watch less Tour de France )

Hi Don,

leaves 3 & 4 are very good (though a very small crop) Nr.2 and esp. Nr.1 are not for me!

Thanks,
Thomas

as is very interesting, and helpful, for me to find out that the bike trail shot seems to be a clear favorite here...

Undoubtedly a great image! Combination of art and photography combined to create a great visual experience.

Interesting what PP can do. Love rogprov's leaf and Sonolta's leaves. Here are some I've been playing with:

Here's snap of my gear-hauler taken with my KM-7D and processed with Lightroom.

And returned to it today. simple B/W conversion + contrast boost. Won't make me the next Ansel, but I like the result. The distortion of the Sigma 10-20 can be very strange sometimes.

Yagil, that's a great image. Maybe not Ansel, but reminiscent of David Hurn's Magnum 1968 (? - my memory is not too certain on this) shot of white crosses which I think used a Leica wide-angle to good effect.
