| Russ Pearce (rrruss) Msg: #2 June 6th 2007 12:28:40 | Hey, you're not going to make me homesick by showing me pictures of England's green and pleasant land! I've boosted the colours a bit (too much?), cropped it to a square and got rid of the dark branches on the top right. I also rotated as I felt the house was falling down to the left! |

| Justin Watson (Justin) Msg: #3 June 6th 2007 14:16:45 | I find greens the most annoying colour to get right. I think you've improved them Russ in the revision and i like the crop. Wasn't a fan of the overhanging branch. But those greens.... maybe it was as dark as Bobs original???? | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #4 June 6th 2007 23:07:00 | Perhaps as dark as Bob's original, but maybe with a small saturation bump? Also try applying an ND grad to the sky, might be interesting :) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #5 June 7th 2007 05:49:27 | OK, here's an attempt to make it a nicer day in Merry Old.... I like the branch. (Didn't care for how it hung down over the edge of the ridge so I trimmed it.) I think it gives more depth to the image. YMMV & that's OK. ;o) Now that I look at the versions side by side I like the first bottom crop better. The way the foreground ridge line hits the corner. |

| Justin Watson (Justin) Msg: #6 June 7th 2007 13:03:51 | see i can believe the greens in all the original and revision. they look realistic. thats the problem i have with adjusting greens :-) | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Peter A (Peter) Msg: #7 July 5th 2007 05:23:16 | My goodness, Bob... That's the image of the Shire if ever I saw it. Nicely done...You captured an archetype that I would guess exists in many of our minds. I like the second revision. The shadow on the top of the hill looks more dramatic, IMO, and the greens are greener. I like Russ' revision a lot too, in what it does tot he foreground, but I am more keen on the landscape crop than on the square. | |||||||||||||||||||||
