My second orton

2008.02.05
original

orton

Well photoshooty people, this is my second orton, I'll include my original from last time, and the orton for comparison... I'm here in NY, and it's all foggy out, so I didn't snap any pics, so I just processed this instead...

The orton effect 'dreamy and surreal' as I would describe it, doesn't work on all photos, but I like it on this shot...

I can't say that I'm doing the orton 100% right, but, that's a work in progress too...

Bold Out!

Jannie I don't know. I'm not a real fan of the orton effect. I really like tack sharp shots. Nothing personal, your shot is lovely, both versions. But I opt for #1. The crisp sharp detail that makes #1 so vibrant gets totally diluted in #2.

Justii very nice... but i prefer the ferst

vollenda I agree with dkelly about it being fairytale-ish. I think I like it better than the original. It was a hard decision because snow on trees is one of my favorite things and it loses that a little in #2. But I almost expect to see some hobbits or Legolas(!) coming around the bend of the creek and that middle-earthiness more than makes up for it. :)

tcalbaz Its a tough choice but I like both. The first one is precisely and beautifully composed. The subject matter works very well with black and white. The second one I find wonderfully surreal. Great bit of work.

balkanbridge Very nice work! Where are the ghosts and goblins? ;)

fionarobinson beautiful, i really like both, the contrast is excellent
fionarobinson · 2008-02-08: 02:53
travisthetrout I love both, both inspire different reactions, the first is sharp distinct, and you take notice thinking, wow good picture (and also i wish i saw snow like that). The second, is calm and relaxing - and after a busy morning, could send me into a happy relaxed slumber with that image in mind. :) Great work, well deserving of front page.
travisthetrout · 2008-02-08: 06:52
????? I think, orginal version is better! But this is only my opinion :) Nice shot!
????? · 2008-02-08: 07:24
