Hanging around

[corbs]

Just a pic that a photographer at work took and played around with in photoshop, I nearly passed out it took him so long to get a photo that he was happy with:eek:.

So whats you hanging around for? :)

Interesting idea, but the photoshopping doesn't quite get there IMO. The lightining just seems to wander around and disappear into your eye: doesn't really add much. If the lightning was supposed to highlight the tension in your body, it should've been more localised around your muscles, and perhaps occupy a redder palette.

I like the subtle colouration effect, and the actual photo seems quite good. There are a couple of photographer gurus on the forum that could give more detailed comments.

You look quite relaxed, seeing as you're holding on with one hand:eek::D

The front hand is just there for balance, other hand is holding on pretty tight as are my legs with the rope locked between them (just a hint for anyone else interested in hanging off ropes):);)... I thought it had a slight terminator feel... aahl be bhak:o

The original pic was pretty green so I think the phot tweaked the blues a bit and just for info... that silver stuff under me is the roof.

I realised shortly after posting that you were hanging upside-down. This points to another failure of the photo. Actually it's amazing how much improvement is made by flipping the image, so it actually looks like you're upside-down.

Much more impact.

(I speak with no authority here, just my opinion:))

Strictly speaking, the image should be rotated, so that you're not flipped left-to-right. For some reason, though, I prefer the flipped version. Here's the rotated version.

no offence but it just does'nt look right , no matter which way you rotate it...sorry

digital photgraphy should be used in the slightest way , just enough to help the photo not take over it like this one ...

Zen, you are a magician... both your versions do demonstrate the fact that I am upside down but as you indicated the flipped version does have more impact but I think it is also better framed in the photo too.
