tone mapping

Comment by posthumous:
What a ridiculous use of tonemapping. You've made half the picture look blown out and overexposed. You've utterly abused this technique in order to make a picture of a concrete garbage bin into a frightening fantasyland where winter and summer battle for control of a harsh world. Ice blinds me and bugs bite me at the same time. The planet threatens to crack open.

I have seen hundreds of reverent but utterly pointless tonemappings, only to discover you wielding this dangerous power for an actual purpose. You have dared to betray mundane reality and foist your own interpretation on it. Be warned, you have ventured into the realm of the artist. It is a realm where emotions run high and discontent is always right around the corner.

Are you sure you don't want to take studio shots of jewelry and puppies?

This is cool. I like this. Love the geometry and the wall is intriguing. And the tree leaves are a nice interception into the patterns.

really like this but i think more of the foreground leaves in focus would have made it stronger /6

A most interesting photo, one that I kept coming back to in the shapes challenge. I think the lighting and textures are very, very well done. The shadow across the top probably took a point off your score - DPC voters are very picky. Mostly I will say "very well seen." A photo I wish I had taken.

Very crisp and clear - the definition on the rain drops is wonderful, and the green stands out.
