Lone Stand

2007.05.15
1st Try ...Dark and Moody

Second try...lighter, but black isn&#39t as deep

Third try...lighter...but black still black.

Playing a bit with Photoshop to add a title and boarder. Comments? Suggestions?

I took mugsycat's advise and did a second lighter version. I like it too. Which one do you think is best?

Ok...I think Shanti has a point too, so the third picture is an attempt at making the lights brighter without weakening the black.

mugsycat I like the border and the mood, but IMHO the shot is just a hair bit too dark. If you brightened it some, there would be more details in the branches. Don't get me wrong, I still love the overall feel of this shot.

sparkylu25 Great shots, imho, the second one is a little better, more definition in the branches

sandmoon both are great, #2 though is my fav

Shanti I think I'd prefer a combination between the two, the second gained some light and color but lost some contrast and the black is not black anymore.
Shanti · 2007-05-15: 16:37
t2d4th I think you may be right Shanti. Let me post a third attempt that will balance between the other two.

SheriJ Loved the 2nd one!! great work!!

WeeklyShots I'll have to differ and say that I like the first. The darkness of the sky accentuates the lighter bits and gives it more texture. And although the branches don't stand out as much as the others, you can still see it and hence maintains the haunting mysterious feel.

pixkid I like these, but the black strikes me as the best, the others don't seem to have that lonely feeling. Great photoshopping, it really brings out a mood in a pic.

OldboyJack Last one! :-)
