Looking at all three, they don't express to me that feeling of "dark with glistening wetness" that I think it what you're trying for. They just seem flat and dullish in appearance.
I like the composition though, so I bunged about in a heavy handed way with curves adjustment tools and did some vignetting as well. To my eye, it gives me more of that sense of 'wet in dark moment', although admittedly a bit artificial. Not "accurate" or "correct reproduction" ... but this is photography, not data collection . ;-) Hope you don't mind my posting the result ... Let me know and I'll pull it. http://homepage.mac.com/godders/samson2-g.jpg best, Godfrey On Apr 25, 2007, at 7:38 AM, Toralf Lund wrote: > Yeah, I wanted it "dark" because that was what the scene looked > like and > felt like at the time... 2c is a rescan with a completely different > setup.
