| Justin Watson (Justin) Msg: #1 April 20th 2006 09:38:22 | The image is well exposed but is lacking something of interest to make it better, a more interesting sky, a camel or person perhaps. Its also dead centre which adds to the lack of interest. However i do think you got the shadow and sunny sides exposed well. See what other people have to suggest... | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #2 April 20th 2006 12:48:07 | I agree with Justin. It needs something more. Something that would give the pyramid scale would help. You could title this one "The Miniature Pyramid of TinBuckToo" and people would buy it. It's well done in technical terms. Try a bit more sharpening. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #3 April 21st 2006 22:09:16 | Actually all the elements are there, they just need a little accentuation I think. The sky is interesting, but it's too subtle as it stands. In this version I converted to LABcolor (which splits things into one brightness and two colour difference channels), then selected the L channel (aka brightness or luminance) and used the Dodge and Burn tools on the sky to bring out the contrasts in it. Again there's too much compression here though - not sure whether that's in the original, or a Jeber artifact though... This Workshop isn't intended as a final version - it's just to provide you with an idea of ways to improve it :) |

| Christopher Kean (chriskean1) Msg: #4 April 22nd 2006 07:25:26 | Thanks again--I agree the image is really just a "here's a Sudanese pyramid" sort of image, but the location alone seems to give it some cachet as people appear to like it more than, say, a shot of a Giza Pyramid with no people or other context-providing details. I did like those clouds, as they seemed somehow almost to emanate from the pyramid. I will see what I can do with the image when I get home. CK | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Justin Watson (Justin) Msg: #5 April 22nd 2006 08:09:38 | Amazing. The little wisps of clouds now much more striking and the image is fantastic. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Michael (Michael) Msg: #6 May 2nd 2006 13:32:33 | really a great and quite simple transformation of the photo | |||||||||||||||||||||
