dream abandoned

I really feel that this would have been so much more moody and effective without the heavy processing and layers. It could have been left more "real" to have greater impact, instead of becoming a type of cartoon - "Dream" and "Harsh" seem to me at odds with each other.Sorry, I know I am coming from a position of anti-high definition photos, and this is very subjective.

Shrinking Natural Environment -- harsh for wildlife

Interesting, but your "planet" effect looks flat...maybe you were going for that idea, but I would have preferred the spherical look.

Into the Fog

I absolutely love this: I can almost hear that silence that hangs around in the fog. The desaturation works so well (if in fact you did desat)...because it emphasises how fog desaturates the world: stripping it of colour,light and sound.

I'm just going to go right out and say it: these extremely long thin images just don't work for me in a challenge situation: after paging through images that fill the page with big bold beautiful pictures, a long skinny, is a shock to the system which has been mesmerised up to that point. Now suddenly I've got to lean in close to the screen and scroll up and down because I can only see part of the image at a time, and so ultimately I get to see an image about 1/8 the size of the rest.

Having said that: I think your subject and composition are brilliant...if this had been a large square image it would have had so much impact.

Delapidated
by hotpasta

Comment:
It's dilapidated all right, but the High Definition has smothered all that lovely patina and it's ended up being dreamlike and surreal, and not gritty or harsh at all. The blur also makes it difficult to see what's going on in terms of perspective. I can't make out if the "vehicle wheel" sign is in the distance or part of the wall alongside the red corrugated iron.

Fantastic subject and I like the way you've collaged the images to create a real story/full picture of the guy's life. Great idea to use the crumpled paper technique too...like a tatty piece of newspaper litter. 10
