Re: Something different? Working with textures.
:eek: I have no respect for authority since I was in court over non payment of poll tax; I proved the council incompetent in this matter, (I was paid up but their figures were wrong) but still the magistrates give them another chance to fleece me. So I should be behind bars, but I prefer a different kind of bar.
Yet another useless fact.:)

Does it balance the sense of instability? Or are the 2 elements too different and just don't fit together?
Hello Raylee :)
I don't know what your picture is but I am not very worried about it. :)
The composition looks pretty dynamic and pleases me. And yes it gives a sense a movement.
I think the two elements whichever they are fit together.
I am not sure if I would place the central round area in that precise position but this is also an option.
:)
Re: Something different? Working with textures.
Raylee, I like the picture too, though like Antonio I don't know exactly what it is -- :) I think it might be hard to move the central area too far over to the left, because then the rays on that side would be very short --
Here's another one from me -- making the best of a very foggy day at Big Sur:

Re: Something different? Working with textures.
I think maybe it is the sort of thing you have to do all the time, I'm as interested in abstract art as the Tate gallery, it has a place to show difference.
I like this and maybe even prefer Wormuth this way as a pic about A2 size to stick on te wall, in preference to reality. But I'm not doing anymore of this for a bit.
I'm still struggling to get a pic as Wide as FOV of your sight, and interesting. I will concentrate on that first. :)

Very nice Elise. Was the landscape with fog already ?
O really don't know if I would desaturate the green of the sea...
What pleases me most here is precisely all the area from the rocks till the top with all that mist.
:)
I even like the little round spot at left and the "imperfection" of the borders.
It has a look of old picture what pleases me :)

From the series "May God have mercy on us"
How about this ?
Unbalanced perhaps... but that is also the idea. :)
Re: Something different? Working with textures.
Thanks, Antonio, yes it was already foggy, that's exactly what it looked like. I just made it a little more atmospheric in PP.
Re: Something different? Working with textures.
My last one for the day and my first attempt with portraits. Wrong. My second one. I have done before with slides many years ago. :)

Hi Antonio
I find this image intriguing. I like it. I can get lost in it. The colours are confronting so I see them first but then I look deeper and see others things. I'm like you - I don't need to know what an image is of to be able to enjoy it.

This one I find unnerving. It immediately brings religious connotations to mind (must be my Catholic school education). I wonder what is behind those eyes? The only thing that I'd change though is the dark circle to the lower right edge - I'd remove it as I find it distracting.
Re: Something different? Post your working with textures shots here.
Thank you for your comments Raylee :)
The series "May God have mercy on us" is always with the Human presence and I think you can see it here, can't you ?
:)
