Thanks Clive

A new edit of an old shot. I'd only edited it in black and white before. This one is done with the new Nik HDR Efex software using the lovely 'Granny's Attic' filter.

Cheers

I ALMOST got a 6+ score. would've been my first (of my limited entries). the parade had just started, so I think she was still in marching band shock mode. I liked the moment. @ paulbtlw - appreciate the kind words about the image. I was inspired to get onto 1x.com and upload the photo. unfortunately it wasn't published. maybe next time. it's a great site.

I'm glad you gave it ago. I'm surprised it didn't hit the mark. I'd have given it high marks in member screening had I come across it.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Quite an extreme image - like all of the affordances of digital photography have been discarded. I do like the vintage coloration, the grain and the vignette though.

Critical stuff: The overall level of sharpness looks a little off.

Overall: Bold stuff; but I think it has some correctable elements.

Positives: Lovely scene, well captured. I like how everybody is just going about their business - that contributes greatly to the story-telling qualities of the image. The coloration is very nice indeed - it combines with the light to offer up a very relaxed mood.

Critical stuff: I'm not wholly convinced by the overall composition of the various elements.

Overall: I like it well enough though.

Positives: Just amazing! Superb clarity, wonderful texture, great light. Excellent use of negative space too. The blues and subtle orange / pink add some very special accents of colour to this image.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: Great stuff.

Positives: I like how extreme and uncompromising this image island how you've reduced all the figures to just their forms (who needs texture!). I like where you've placed the horizon in the frame too.

Critical stuff: Nothing

Overall: I think the processing works really well for this scene.

Wow - I've tried this many times and never got close to this level of quality. Well made indeed!
