Doors mirrored.

Just liked the way the doors appeared to mirro eachother.

The doors are great and I really like them, but for some reason the overall shot is not doing much for me. Thats just my opinion!

[dewmuw]

It doesn't do much for me either. :) Just liked the doors. I tried a few different angles but it was hard to access without getting clutter in the frame. Now if they knocked that wall down...........;)

Not sure about this one, but I feel if it was a bit more 'punchy' it would look good. Why not play around a bit and adjust the levels etc?

IMHO a little bit more contrast will help. And I would also give a try to BW.

LOL yeah I hate when that happens, A great shot and can't compose it. Your not alone my friend I think we've all been there.

I like the doors also, Maybe a close-up of each door by itself, course that sort of defeats the idea of the mirror effect. :lol: :lol: They seem to look familier to me, did you post another photo a while back looking through that doorway?

demum, would you mind if i posted a few ideas? i loved this shot but the colors werent doing anything for me. i spent some time on it in photoshop and have about 5 different ideas i could post. some are pretty good, the angle isnt as big a problem in the variations,imho.

If not, its ok.

Cool doors. if you can, i would go back and get a close up of that old door, i bet it has great texture and would present well as a closeup.:)

[dewmuw]

Post away Smitty! Look forward to seeing them!

[smittymike19]

ok so i did a few things to your doors, but left them on my computer at home. i tried to duplicate it at work, but this is a non calibrated monitor, so if it is somewhat off, forgive me. matter of fact if tehy just outright stink, forgive me. lol
here is a color and a bw conversion for starters.

then ii made some spooky versions

dewmew, your original looks great. Not so much for it's artistic merit, more as a great capture that shows some interesting archetectural feature. I like these kinds of pictures.
I can't say the same for the edits. smitty, can you explain your intentions, or the purpose of the changes beyond just the ability to do so?

[jfrancho]

Now if they knocked that wall down...........;)How about standing on the wall?

not sure if you took the time to read all of the posts but a few others were suggesting pumping up the saturation or changing to b&w. so i did it. its like asking what the end of the movie had to do with the beginning, without watching the middle.;)

[dewmuw]

Nice effects - I particularly like the first 2. Thanks for taking the time to work them up.

As for standing on the wall I think the house wardens would throw me out. But heck I'll go and give it a try! :)

What I was looking for were your intentions with the edits. I see you've added some comments to the edits. That really helps. Communication is a priority in collaborative efforts. Thanks.
