Lord Vishnu on my desk along with a glass globe paper weight.



Sharpened, lightened with levels, used nik efex bicolor filter, smoothed with NI. Fiddled with contrast and more levels after resizing.

WHo is Lord Vishnu- that is the question...I know ther is a reason he is on your desk ! I don't examine images like under a microscope for technical issues - the overall impact is what I go by & I think this is a pretty neat job :)

That globe makes for an interesting background. This really demonstrates the power of PP -- from a dull to a bright image.

I agree with repositioning the globe a bit...wehrmacher's suggestion I like...making it look like an aura. There appears to be a slight halo effect around the actual figurine from sharpening though.

That's really cool - I thought your crystal ball (aka paper weight :P) was actually a big bubble. Your photo makes it look like he's levitating the thing.

Edit: I commented before I read petesty's comment below!

The shallow DoF gives that globe a very interesting look...like it's being levitated!

you've really given your photograph a great look ... love the globe suspended above him .. i'm imagining it as the world, over which he has such sway .. i doubt it would be that difficult for you to superimpose a world in the globe .. !!..:) .. a challenge that's for sure .. :)x

This is fantastic - nice and sharp with awesome processing, and the orb in the background is intriguing. Somehow I like the fact it's completely detached from Vishnu, although I'm sure you could achieve some really creative stuff by having the two together.

I actually kinda like it like this... looks like he just escaped from a crystal prison and is now heading to WARRRRRR!! :) hehe Love the edit. Really brings out the colours.

Hi.

I think I would like to have seen the paperweight encircle Vishnu, as if a halo or radiance or something. In the before and after environment, you could select the god and move her up so her feet would be tangent with the circumfrance of the paperweight. I might choose the scale so that the god is about 2/3 or 3/4 of the apparent hight of the ball.

In the fixed focus group, you could simply lower your point of view to do the same.

Take all this with a grain of salt. Who am I to tell you what you wanted to do. :-)

love the yellow to green & blue transition. i agree with the others, i might like to see Visnu encirled by the paperweight, or Vishnu more the center subject. i might try moving the paperweight to the left and Vishnu to the right a bit. Nice PP! you did a great job.

Now which guy is he? Hindu, right? I like to learn about that stuff.

Nice. Great PP treatment. Personally, I would like the figurine or the paperweight in the background to be more to the right as the shot seems a little unbalanced as is.
