My mother's solarium, on a rainy day.

Shot using my Zenitar 16mm FishEye 2.8. I love this lens!

Created a blended exposure from a single photo, but processed for both the highlights (+0.5) and the shadows (-0.5), using EVU. Blended in PS7 using method from Luminous Landscape.

In PS7: Levels, greyscale, quadtone, USM (50, 50, 0), cropped, resized, RGB, saturation, B/C, dark outer edge, USM, Gaussian Blur, save for web.

i usually take whatever i get out of the camera, and maybe fiddle with it some (you know, the basics). every now and then, though, i find an image i have to set aside because i know it's going to need a bit more work than what i can do in a few hurried minutes. the point? i think this image could really use some distortion correction. i don't know how involved that process is, but this image just doesn't appeal to me as is. hopefully others will think it's really cool.

This makes me feel very uneasy (in a good way!) like a hitchcock film! the chairs... are LOOKING at me...

Interesting shot. 8

I want to imitate this style for a shot. I really can not see a flaw. 10

This is a nice image but I think it would look better in colour
It needs livening up

Nice still life. Very peaceful. Good choice of composition. How did you get the curve in the windows?

This shot has a nice feeling of solitude to it. Good use of super wide-angle.

Nice image which has a good feel to it but in some ways it looks a little too structured or staged perhaps if one of the chairs was turned into the table more to give a more natural look would have been better.
