Another from the Wetlands Winter Grass by Kev Pugh, on Flickr The PP is done in Fuji's Silkypix RAF RAW file converter, something I didn't like but having played with it it has some nice little tweaky sliders...
Loving it - I like the the way you've got really low to make the grass stand out against the skyline, and then the B&W treatment really works here.
Thanks Guys, Chris I was actually stood to take this and I'm Six Foot Four , the trees behind are on the far bank of the river, amazing how we perceive things and to be honest how you have seen it is exactly how I perceived it to be...the pp is part preset and part manual tweaks to suit ..thanks again
Love the tones and composition Kev but I find the softness of the vignette a bit at odds with the sharpness of the grass. I'm missing some grain or similar I think.
I must admit I am not too sure about the vignette but the way the image is layered works really well, especially with the toning used.
I'm with Paul I think! I'm not shy of te odd vignette, but I think this sort of thing works when it's a bit more stark as opposed to closed in ... Does that make sence?
