'bad' ... I DONT THINK SO .. !!!
i noticed this amazingly beautiful image in the thread about overprocessing .. i'm totally into it and dont see wot the big fuss is about .. if you like your photographs 'true to life' then go for it .. but no photograph mimics wot the eye can see anyway .. and if you like processing the heck out'v your photographs then go for it ..
i dont like it tho when ppl take that point of view into a challenge and vote you down .. i see that as a biased vote .. of course there's a very fine line between biased and just wot you like .. wotever .. it'd be nice tho if ppl just voted on whether the image appealed to them rather than trying to assess the processing that went on to get it ..
i'm particularly miffed at the moment about a couple of comments on something i have in the free study .. one made a comment that it was over tone-mapped .. which is totally insane .. i've actually put the original in with the challenge entry so ppl can see that its not far from the original except in colours and sharpening ..
got another one that said it wasnt 'real' .. dont know where they're coming from coz its very real ..

this is a stunning shot robert, and i just love your processing .. those clouds appear to be moving ... in fact the entire scene is .. moving in both senses of the word .. !!
love the warmth in the sky .. it looks like you've done a lucisart whyeth on it but you havent .. i've looked at your processing steps but cant see how you've got that contrasty/sharpening effect that a whyeth action gives .. its pretty difficult to explain the look i mean in words ..
anyway .. i did get a bit carried away in this comment ..
it happens ..
:)
ps .. often when you go check out the work of ppl who make these harsh comments you find that their portfolio is very ordinary .. not always of course .. :)
