"Sea Cave" by Dan Matyola I guess a place like this really puts one in a sort of "Robinson crusoe" mode, and after reading your description and taking another long look at the picture, a sort of slight forlornness crept up on me. I think it was the black surfaces of the image that did it. However, it would be wrong to say that the image slapped this message into my face.
Considering that the black surfaces were instrumental for the effect, I wonder how a shot with more black would work compared to this one. "Left behind" by Dag Thrane It is hard to judge the scale of this pic, but the immediate association was a fossil skeleton in a huge, geological formation. Knowing you, it's probably a tidal pond somewhere, but the illusion works. :-) "Little Lost Bucket at the Beach" by Gabriel Cain The title says it, and it looks like the sea is going to claim the bucket shortly. I like this one a lot for the idea and the execution with the wash just underneath the bucket. It seems a bit soft, though. "After read" by Albert Well done for singling out an object very commonly abandoned. The concrete wall and the white lines on the tarmac works well, but in my eyes the car in the corner distracts from the paper and thus the message of the pic. "In a Sea of Abandoned Buildings" by Joseph Tainter This is almost cliché to me, but the vividness of the green surroundings and trees growing through the roof makes it. "Abandoned half-buit house" by Thrainn Vigfusson Har! I could have pointed out this as one of Thrainn's without the name attached. Something about the power and the gloom of the blues, I think. In this one, the sky seems to suffer a bit from processing as it has gradation zones. Especially in the more cyan and magenta/pink areas. For the texture and rendering in the house, I like very much the way the image is processed. Jostein -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
