Sitting on a dream

Not sure if most people like this type of photography, but I thought I'd share anyway. Constructive criticism is always welcome

i like this very much! I keep on reminding myself to try something similar. I think the processing is great here, along with the angle. I would've liked for the subject to face the camera though. So... Did you just clone the chair out?

Yes he did. You can tell it on the curtains. I like it by the way. Very creative.

Thanks! By the way, I'm a she

Great Shot..Creative! Nice removal of the chair shadow. Only thing i see is a slight bend in the baseboard above the floor vent. Otherwise, excellent cloning

Thanks!

Ah yes, unfortunately what appears to be a bend in the baseboard is actually there in real life too; the carpet doesn't lie flat there.

It's true what they say... they don't build 'em like they used to!

Well.. you are a Photographer and not a contractor! Checked out your Flickr, and that has to be the best '365' I've seen yet.. Can u keep it up for 300+ more?

Thanks a lot

It's funny you should ask that, because I just decided to pull the plug on the 365 project. It's not for lack of ideas, but rather due to a lack of time. Unfortunately creating some of the photos I'm thinking of would take longer than the amount of free time I have on a given day. Oh well... I tried. I want to make sure I don't start posting photos I'm unhappy with just to keep up a quota.

Great concept, nicely done!

You know there is an easier way of getting rid of the chair. Take a picture of the space empty, than move everything in as needed and take another picture.

In PS add both images as layers and Layers->Align and just paint out the chair with a mask. Viola. Much easier than cloning and quicker.

I like this, very dreamlike going towards ethereal .

An image that challenges the viewer.

Very interesting! Great job!

Thanks so much

Yep, that's definitely the way to do it. Cloning would be far too time consuming.

Sorry, korrektor, I accidentally overlooked your question about cloning -- I did have to do a bit of it to get the shadows right, but most of it was a layer of the bare wall as aram535 suggested.

I am digging it. The treatment is nice.
