[Stereobox]

#6. One more for the day

i like the composition :thumbsup:

i like the idea of desaturated/washed-out colours to give a certain 'mood'..but somehow something is not right abt the colours in this one

but i still enjoy it

mojito10, Stereobox: good morning folks, thanks for your comments! Do appreciate it

 

[choo]

er...the last pics quite freaky...like the movie 'chucky' (correct spelling? )
yet still a good shot...nice composition

Believe it or not, this doll costs a few hundred bucks and there is a huge following for this. Our friend has a small collection. Imagine all these dolls staring at you at night...

I like the color, esp #5...only the objects are lid....did you use any filter or PS to achieve that? :sweat:

Thanks Kahuna If you're talking about the lighting, it's a mix of flash plus some slight touch-up through PS

Hi Stereobox, I have the same feeling about the colours - the colours clash.

I've reworked the photo - hopefully the colour mix is more palatable this time. Really do appreciate your feedback!

nice composition for the sea bird shot...:thumbsup:
but i find it a bit too bright on the birds' back...or maybe my monitor got problem?;p

 

[melnjes]

Thanks Choo!

It was indeed very bright - noon sun. Sacrificed that in order to get proper exposure for the rest of the pic.

#9. We reached home today to see a pack of monkeys along our driveway. A year ago, we would have ignored them, but these days they are quite a rare sight. We rushed upstairs, grabbed our gear and came down, only to find that the group had disappeared. This was one of the stragglers.

i have a secret fascination with monkeys who 'live among us' (i used to see some of them around my area too) and this one somehow struck a chord in my heart.

i really like this one.

:thumbsup: thanks for sharing!

sorry for the late reply. haven't really got time lately to check on other people's PAD project except our own :sweat:


if you are asking if the colours are more 'pleasing' than the old one, i would say they don't appear to be as distracting as before. though a little over subdued and muted. (i'm sorry i can't explain more 'properly' in color theory terms)

if it works for you, then good for you i would very much like to see what melnjes has to say with 'colours'.
