So small how to see? I can see heavily PS-ed pictures..

kcuf2 · 29th November 2006

frankly, the pics are well taken, but just tat there is one problem... the angles in ur shots has been shot by countless ppl numerous times already.. and hence it makes it a "commodity"

but for 6 & 7, at this small size, it seems to have some potential.. do u have a bigger sized version for us to see the sky effects?

ryuggen · 29th November 2006

Thanks for the feedback. I thought i could saturate the sky to improve the dramatic effect. Looks like i failed miserably.
Hmz... Looks like i need to be more creative in finding better angles.

I loaded in flickr with 1500x1000 dimension. Didnt expect it to come out in such a small dimension.

Hoped this is big enough. If it isnt, i'll load a bigger version.

now got new problem already... the 1st pic looked severely off focus, and the 2nd one looks over sharpened..[i think the compression of the pics made them become like that]

but nonetheless, the colour is nice

Level, Curves, Hue all free one leh, just drag only..

Anyway oversharpen and over-pp is

eikin · 29th November 2006

definitely overdone. colour bandings, halos from oversharpening and what not are all jumping out of the pictures.

and i think i mentioned this countless times, please read the posting guidelines for Critique Corner. http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=139941

Looks like i'll need to cut down on the PS. I was over zealous on how PS can improve and create better impact on the picture.

I'll take note of the guideline in future posting.
