Edit: sorry just read travel, could someone move to the appropriate forum as I canon delete it please and thanks

Went for a walk and this is what I came up with. What do you think?

Shot with a 40d and a 35-350mm.


The sign was just dumped in the middle of the track.

Once perfection is reached it is no longer perfect, since a new standard is created based on an "improved vision" of the original perfection. This creates a infinite cycle which inevitably leaves to disappointment.

Love the first one. The second is just a tad dark on my monitor.

thinking maybe should have had a longer exposure.

Glad you liked the first one, worth printing?

I like the first one as well. As for it's print quality, that is entirely up to you. It all depends on if it's something you would like to look at more often. I personally would love to decorate my house with my own work, so I would say go for it.

Forgot to mention the second shot...
It's dark on my monitor, too, but from the look of it, you need something in the photo to add interest.

I've decided to print it. Colour sign or no colour sign I think that is the final question. Not entirely sure on which one.

Oooh, now you made it tough. I think I would leave the sign with full color (as above) and desaturate the rest of the photo so that there is still some color, though not much. Could you post a sample so we can see what that would look like?

First one is 80% desaturated. Second one has been desaturated by 50% and the vibrance droped by 100%

I vote for the first one. Was there no color in the ground or did it really all go away when you dropped the saturation?

I would think no color on the sign with the green leaves. Would give a positive message of moving forward to "greener pasture". The red sign with no color gives a feel of uncertainty in the new path. Depends on what kind of message you want to convey I guess.

That looks over saturated. You might have to tone it down a bit. I still prefer the earlier version.
