HANGING CHAINS

[Julian de'Courcy]

A wee bit over the top in the processing.
These I tried out the canon 17-40mm f4 L . Using the 17mm length trying to determine if I would be happy with this focal length as Oly have a new 17mm f1.8 out.

IMHO...you should leave them. For me...I may not like them as much as the first but I still find them interesting. I really enjoy it when other people stretch themselves. I do it all the time and chicken out showing anyone.

Too slow Julian! Actually I like the second best although maybe darkened down a bit.

Thanks Glen and Pete . I often reckon that most images have a little of something that is OK. The second has some elements if I was skillful enough I could take and use too their strengths, small areas of the tones work well in the second but not as an overall piece, the worst bits take too much from the good parts. All worth trying. It is maybe good to have a style that is basic and reliable to produce images that at times you need to stimulate those few imaginative cells and excite, something solid to work from. But it is always good to go of and do things even if they end up being outside of what is meaningful, which can be subjective. Sometimes they have to be posted or displayed to find their true identity, even if this means they look like a big mistake.
Now stop waffling on.
