Personal preference: Colours a bit too saturated for me. You increased it to compensate for loading issue?

yah sort of..after the problem I faced which I mentioned to you yesterday. I've found the cause of the problem. And after reading more abt it I decided to increase it a bit..kiasu and over-zealous on my part :embrass:. i think I should just stick to my normal processing since everything is back in order now
 

wat's the loading issue you guys r talking abt?

I encountered the problem of getting different and dull colour tones from the original when uploading to the web. It stumped and made me panicky for 2 days.
But I discovered why after googling the issue and it's back to normal now.
The problem was caused by me in fact when I started to play around with the colour settings in CS4. I think it's a common problem initially faced by those who are new to Photoshop when they will meddle and play around with the colour settings.It just shows how much knowledge I have of using Photoshop correctly even after using it for quite a while now hahahaha...
 

I absolutely love 125 :)
Great :thumbsup:
 

just on first glance, #125 looks swee, bro.
Nice range of tones in the B&W. Good timing to catch the light reflecting off the flats.
Dramatic clouds.
A very "impact"-ful image...

Can try creating a black border around the image. I feel that it would benefit somehow.
Was this as wide as you could go? If the top edge of the frame was a little further from the top of the block of flats, would be nicer, in my opinion.

#126 looks familiar somehow. I'm at Punggol quite often for work.... :)
The colours in the sky very swee, but the road looks a bit too muted somehow. Dunno if boosting the exposure and colours of the orange/white barricades would be beneficial.... :think: hmmmmm...
 

For #126, the sky is nice but the foreground and the objects are underexposed. Can't see the details clearly. You may use a GND filter to get the right exposure.

Thanks bro, the weather was really weird when I took this..on my left the skies were pretty much colourful with the blues and orange from the sun, and on the left it was all cloudy with interminttent thunder threatened to rain any moment.

ya hor I totally forgot abt borders...should have tried that.

Yes this was as wide as I could go, and I have to tilt at that.It was very difficult to retain the flat on the right side from being clipped while trying to correct the vertical distortion. I lost a bit of the space on the sky due to this.

Bro check out Jonathan's (Draken413o) take on this. His is definitely and way much better than my version :)

Yup these were taken around Punggol.
It does look muted. I tried keeping it on a low side as I wanted to make the 'rim-lights' on the vehicles parked on the left as the main focul point for the foreground. On second look you have a point. Maybe I should boost it up a bit to make it more prominent.
Thanks for your pointers bro :)

Thanks kentwong81 for visiting. I believe so now that you have mentioned it also..
Thanks for the tips :)

Personally I would choose to do a bracketed shot and digital blend, considering the fact that I am standing in the middle of the road ;)

By the way Zul, #125 is niceeeeee :thumbsup:

i think i get what you mean.

ever since i used an IPS monitor, i've been facing this prob.

i'm using capture NX 2. the pcis will look diff from web browser. even within the browsers, firefox will look diff from others.

hahaha, i've yet to crack the "code" for this ;p

btw, #125 is nice, gave me new idea to compose

Hi Alvin, this is in fact a 3-bracketed shots ;) , but I still held back. Now I know I should have notched up the exposure for the road/foreground.

Thanks Alvin :)

It's frustrating right?..so 'crack' it and your frustration will be gone :-)

I feel that upping the foreground exposure in #126 can be a 2-sided coin.
If it starts to get too bright, you lose the contrast with the dramatic sky. At the moment when I look at it, the sky catches my attention, but then the road and everything else in the foreground seems like 'dark abyss' :bsmilie:
I'm a bit worried that if you up the exposure too much, the sky starts to lose its 'magnetic' appeal...
 

Hi r00ki3,
I like this one very much. Very peaceful carefree scene.
Oh.. your name is Zul. very cool name.:)

Thanks!.. This place was indeed very peaceful and carefree...
:bsmilie: Yes it is...
And yours is cool and unique as well Manita :)
