Wanted to try my hand at some new processing techiques, so ran out this morning to grab some quick shots to play with. I liked the processing on this one the best. Hoping for some comments ... good or bad, interested in how this will play.
Levels, Brightness & Contrast adjustments, then a high pass filter to bring out contrast and sharpness a bit, converted to B+W, then colorized @ about 30% saturation. Added some dust and scratches and noise, resized, slight USM, then Gaussian Blur @ 50%. Goofy border, S4W, and a 5.5 is on its way! |

The great amount of noise in this picture may seem too much for some people but i actualy think it adds to the image.

| I love how you framed it.......the grain makes it look old. |

| I actually like the grain in this shot -- it gives it a desolate "dust bowl" type of feeling. |

| Grain is rather nice with this shot, however I think the tone you chose doesn't do this shot justice, I think a deeper brown would have helped IMO. Nice work. |

| I think you have some nice subjects here but I think it needs more detail. I think the graininess takes away here. 5 |

| Interesting use of noise - but too much seems to be lost in it. |

| Good job on the duotones and I love the grain. I hope you don't get punnished for the grain though. DPC seems to hate it. Nicely composed. |

| Lovely composition and duotone conversion. Perhaps a little to heavy on the added noise but still a good shot |
