Still Standing

Thanks so much Helene! I felt that saturating this image gave it a “yellowy” glow kind of felt summery and hot! :D

Has an interesting “gritty” feel to it Paul,looks good

Nicely done Paul – theres a certain sort of ghost town eeriness about it

Surreal Paul, real ghost town feel about the shot.

Love your processing here Paul

Thank you for taking the time to view and comment, it is greatly appreciated!
Joe! Christine! Andrew! & Mel!

I imagine some mean, sparse slide guitar as the soundtrack

Excellent shot and treatment, Paul.

I agree with Joe, The gritty feel comes through. I can smell the dust and feel the heat.

Thanks so much for your comments guys!

Chris = I agree mate, something from Ry Cooder might go well!

Mark = Apprciate your comment!!

Nathan = It was a tough day, lots of smoke and around the 35 degree mark but definately worth being out there!! :D

love this, excellent, the textures are really rough

Very kind of you Jessica, thank you! :D

Mmm, circa Paris Texas…

Spot on mate!

Great image – such intense texture captured here Paul – love this!

Thank you very much Paul! :D

Love the atmoshere of this shot…..Just browsed through your stream. Great stuff.

Thanks so much John! :D

Such an eery feel to this one Paul, the diffused light gives the image such an intensity. The motion blur of the train adds impact to the foreground, great photo!

Thanks heaps Spike!! :D

Paul that’s an unreal shot. How funny i should see this after you and i were ‘discussing’ HDR. You have achieved awesome depth and colour here just by great camera-manship. Just great composition, I can feel the heat.

Thank you Melinda!
Yes, great timing considering our “other” conversation!!
This shot here has a little HDR but alot of the color comes from dropping the light from the background. The smokiy atmosphere really helped this image have that yellow dusty look about it.

awesum shot hot dry and smokey it says it all, im now thirsty, no really i am ,i was taken in by the pici then i felt thirsty. sum subliminal stuf happen here.

Thank you very much bodymechanic! Now go and get that thirst quencher! :D

nice shot love the saturation makes it real moody love it dude

Thanks heaps peterbooth!! :D

Paul, Amazing Shot Taken & the way it is shown in sepia is awsome.

Thank you kindly sabbysingh!! :D

beautiful! love the yellow cast…

Thank you very much Vansk! :D

This is beautiful. The yellow tone makes it all the more attractive. Great combination of composition and colour.

Thanks heaps Momlee!! :D

Great atmosphere! I love the “almost” monochrome colouring of this & the gritty hut. And the perspective on the tracks and powerline fading away gives a real sense of mystery. Love it!

That’s a wonderful comment! Thank you so much Louise!! :D

Excellent mood shot Paul, Good composition with nice lead-in lines. The tone suites the image.
