Do you like heavily modified images?
Not everyone's taste I know ... but I enjoy doing this sort of thing

Re: Do you like heavily modified images?
Interesting I would say. I like it, though, frankly, the empty black space behind it is a bit distracting, or even attracting your sight towards it. The texture is excellent.
Re: Do you like heavily modified images?
I like it Rogprov. A really interesting effect - almost like leather. Like the Doc I'm not sure about the dark space. How do you do it?

.... seriously indeed but very good!
I'll confess and admit this has been on another forum a few days ago ... but I really did want to know what the folk on here thought!
It's originally a colour photo (Sony a700) of a very red vine leaf in late evening low light. Converted in CS3 to black and white using a modified "maximum black" setting. Converted to grey-scale then tri-toned - black/focoltone 1002/focoltone 4003. Converted to RGB and rather overly sharpened with USM.
Thanks for all the unexpectedly favourable comments

Re: Do you like heavily modified images?
Soemtimes these treatments can give an otherwise mundane shot a life it wouldn't have had without. There were some really busy street scenes that were given "the hayes island effect" that was talked about a couple of years ago and I must say it made nice work of otherwise unusable shots and thats always stuck in my mind

Re: Do you like heavily modified images?
I find all this type of image manipulation interesting...

Now this is art!! Photography is made up of 2 words, photo meaning light and graphics meaning painting. therefore painting with light. This is exactly what has been done in these images.
Re: Do you like heavily modified images?
I really like Robbie's pictiure of the happy couple - great effect. I'd far rather something like that on the wall than an ordinary wedding photograph
Great pictures as well Sonolta - the bicycles is also my favourite, a long with th leaf details.

Re: 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.
What you see depends on what you're looking for.

Re: Do you like heavily modified images?
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 )
