Boom!!

nilroy · 7th of September 2007 (Fri)

Or should I better call it the sound of silence?
Some old canons in a historical town I went to visit last weekend. Took it n B&W just to capture the mood and liked it this way.

C&C most welcome.

Where was this taken?

nilroy · 8th of September 2007 (Sat)

In a city of the royals in India.

nilroy, its a little too much contrast for me with loss of detail. part of appeal of this image is the texture on the canons. I also dont find it sharp, and is a little over exposed. I like the idea

hmmm... i get your point, kevindar. Actually, increasing the contrast was the only post-processing i did...maybe I overdid it!

Here's the original one for you... does this work any better for you? I find it a bit too grey!

nilroy, I played around with it a little, but honestly could not get something I am happy with. The white area on the top right corner is distracting. the image is a little soft and I am not sure how to improve the composition. so I dont think this is much of an improvement, but for what its worth,

wow, that has way too much sharpening artifact. well, sorry could not be of any more help.

Hi Nilroy,

Since you do not have 'Editing OK' switched on, would it be ok if I have a go at editing your picture?

It's a neat photo but maybe just a little too much contrast. B&W was a good way to catch the atmosphere surrounding them though
