Challenge: Close Your Eyes (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II
Location: Delray Beach, FL
Date: Mar 23, 2012
Aperture: f/22
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/8
Galleries: Black and White, Photo-Impressionism
Date Uploaded: Mar 27, 2012

 It was indeed taken without looking. The settings were on manual, and the shutter speed was slow.

I straighten the image. The horizon was slightly off, but not enough to make an interesting composition. Other than that, I adjusted the contrast, which was very blown out in the original, and converted to b&w.

I like the unusual placement of the figure walking on the path, and the slight motion blur which creates an impressionistic look.

==================================

Thank you Posthumous for selecting my this to hang in your Gallery for the Blind. LOL

Love it. Reminds me of impressionist painting by Monet or Renoir I think.

This is my favorite of the challenge; I really like the nostalgic look and the blur adds a nice dimension. Hope it does well for you. (voted earlier)

The cover of a romance/mystery novel, perhaps.

Although this all seems "too good to be true" for a "Close your eyes to compose and shoot" image... It's an 8 from me. I love it.

To my eye, essentially flawless. Hauntingly vintage, family-album feel. 10
