| I liked this one a lot, gave it a 7. IMO it really conveys a creepy feeling, you want to know where the river leads to in the dark woods. The soft focus... well, it didn't bother me. |

| A very strange, effective image. Conveys a brooding, malevolent sort of darkness. A Lord of the Rings sort of scene. 7 |

Good attempt to convey darkness. There is a fine line between artistic soft focus and just plain being out of focus and this image flirts with that line. It likely will not work with many voters. Use of some type of luminosity filtering might convey the concept a little more concretely and make it more acceptable to viewers.
verall this image has very low contrast and that was probably done on purpose as well. But in the concept of darkness a good solid black point is probably advised.
A great artistically altered image always starts out with a great image to begin with. Ask yourself, "Is this a great image to begin with?". Is is an image that stands strong on it's own before adjustment and outside the concept for this DPC challenge? This image probably does stand strong on its own but adjusting it for the challenge degraded it's appeal.
When taking picture if you find yourself thinking "If I just do this and this and this it will be great" then the image is probably not right in the first place. |
