Walking in the rain

rty · 30th July 2002

Alright, alright, I plead guilty. Heavy use of Photoshop was involved.... but the original photo was really crappy, i.e. dull in color with a very distracting background, on the other hand, for a long time I have been anticipating an opportunity like this to take a photo with some romantic overture. So.... let me have your verdict, please.

why guilty? digitally enhanced photo had been around everywhere, even digitally enhanced movies are popular now. A photograph is still a photograph as long as no artificially created image was added there. A digitally enhanced photo may not be "honest", but it doesn't need to. Because its purpose is to convey the message or mood from the author to the viewer as a form of art. It is not a journalistic photograph.

rty, I think you overdo the streak (zooming blur).

Hey nice effort ... I kinda like this picture!

Hi rty,

The concept is there, as we can understand and appreciate. But I don't like the color tone. I prefer a warmer tone, say sepia kind. u do want to convey some romance if I am not mistaken.

What do u think?

I like it!

Tom, rty likes colours like purple and blue.

Rty: perhaps you can try one with the rain coming down diagonally, instead of the zoom, and see how that looks.

Streetshooter, as you wish, here it is....

So what do you think? Better? Worse?

Tomshen, I like sepia but I don't think it matches this particular picture. I purposely select blue to inject a sentimental mood.
