Some of you may remember a thread I started just over a week ago regarding a rules question, if you could distort a picture. Anyway, since I wasn´t sure what the site coucil would say before the deadline I submitted the shot unedited but I wanted to alter the perspective of the shot simply by using "image size" in photoshop.
Here -> //www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=275062 is the thread.
Here is the original shot that was entered in "Destinations"
and here is the version I wanted to submit.
Although I myself like the edited version better I would value any input. What do you think, wich version do you like better? |

Second one.
It makes better use of details of ground and sky: more dramatic.

| I like the second one better, but I would crop out some of the sky so your horizon line would not be centered. |

i think the first one..
the second one is to square.. try to shoot in 3:2 scale.. its always better than 4:3
and man.. what an amazing place you guys live... im going nuts here if there is like grey sky (which happens like week in a year)
i hope you appreciate all the snow mountains and whatever you guys have there in Iceland.. the nature life looks amazing..
if i had the cash.. probebly my next destanation was Icland..

I prefer the second version. The original version feels cramped in comparison. I'll remember to consider this technique during future landscape shooting.

The second one is 100x better.
In all honesty if you had shown me those two images, I would have said the first one had been resized... not the second.

I really enjoyed the second as well, but agree with the horizon being to centered.
I am currious though if you could have entered the second one. Does anyone know the answer?

| Generally, I like the second better, though with some of the reservations mentioned above. But for the challenge theme, I think this treatment might have had a negative effect, because it makes the leftward jog in the road, leading out the left side of the scene, stand out, which makes the "destination" someplace out of view. With the original perspective, that portion of the road is sort of obsure, and the assumtion is that it leads to the mountains. |

In his comments on the alternate version, he says the answer he got was that it could be entered in an advanced editing challenge, but not a basic editing one. |

| Love the second one and have wondered about the legality of this process myself.... |

Oh sorry about that for not making it clear that this was deemed legal under the current advanced rules but not under the current basic rules, I should have said so in this post in the first place.
To quote frisca from the thread I linked to in the start of the thread:

Yes, what dahkota said! Altering pixels in this manner is a no-no in basic, and after much discussion, Site Council has resolved that such a distortion where the ratio is altered is permissible under the current rules for Advanced editing.
Selective distortion in advanced is a different matter (though illegal in basic still) and I would suggest to anyone wishing to use selective distortion to run your idea/image by Site Council so we have a concrete example to consider.
Thanks! |
