Finn Slough, Richmond, BC Canada.
1/800; f/2.8; ISO 400; 110mm; Nikon D300
Shot a bit under exposed in an attempt to achieve a denim stonewashed look in the woodwork, but was unhappy with the in-camera result. Post processing: Layers of Filter Forge Plugin (Image Marbelizer), Photoshop CS3, Virtual Photographer Plugin (still life, character), Sharpen, Gaussian Blur, Curves, Hue & Saturation, burnished outside edge of image for an old film/grunge appeal.

Interesting, and I love the muted colour palette. Rather wish the bicycle wheels had not been cropped so tight.

Nice dark feel, wonderful semetry. As of right now, one of my favorites in the group. Good job.

I like this. The composition, subject are very very good. The colors and the execution overall is very good. Nice work.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: What a great scene / set-up; compositionally, it all hangs together really well and the lighting, coloration and post-processing all work with a perfect sympathetic synergy.

Critical stuff: The crop at the top and bottom - is the clipping justifiable? Your call, I'm just asking.

Overall: Very effective image.
