An Illusion of Grandeur

Originally posted by blindjustice: I second the fact it was a great idea. I think Allesandro is correct, if there was a better feeling that these pieces were in the same space as the ground, either through use of shadow or better light work, this idea would have taken you to high places.

Had the same thoughts prior to entry. Went back and forth between beveled edging and drop shadows. The problem wit the drop shadows was I couldn't figure out how to position them so they looked natural on the ground. Ended up going with the beveled edges to keep the separation from the background. Not sure I'll revisit it though.

Good stuff. Thought it was great and had it pegged to ribbon.

This is a brilliant image. Powerful, disturbing image. The title is exceptional as well. All around excellent image. Definitely a cut above.

It appears too dark. Would have liked it much more if the ice and snow had been true white.

I agree with the comment below. It looks like the vertical is off. If you look at the brick wall in the back, its off center.

I'd add more contrast. BW conversion seems flat to me and I'd see how a vignette looks as well.

Really feel like this would have benefited from a different placement of the bike. More to the right and placed higher up in the scene. Pretty dramatic though.
