More Blue Galapagos

[denise ippolito]

Again with Artie's fish-eye. A grunge style HDR. I cropped the image to exclude the tiny bit of sky in the ULC. I juiced up the blues for the theme. Let me know your thoughts, BTW -Great critiques and helpful info on my last one. For those of you that are not familiar with my previous post here is a link.

Nice and grungy Denise and I love this perspective. It's like I'm there, walking down those steps. I like the way the landscape partially covers the steps and the two main color zones of bluish and reddish.

Way cool :cool: Image, perspective and subtle coloration! Draws me right in. Agree with Kerry's comments and also that this style is very "Myst" like.

Hi Denise,the grunge look is nicely handled along with a strong and well thought out composition. Couldn't get a stronger leading line which the eye follows all the way down the hill and out.
The change in the environments color is also interesting. Well done!

denise,

Greetings. Particularly like the color - blue - orange contrast with green highlights. The depth is fantastic. Might consider extending the blue down the hill a little further (there is a band near the orange that tends toward gray).

I like the overall effect very much. You even have an S curve accentuating depth... Good show!

Cheers,

-Michael-

I really like the composition and colors on this one Denise! That looks like a long walk back up the hill.:)

Nice image and application, Denise.

My only comment is that if it were mine, I would want a little more canvas on the top and have the right rail start at the BRC But ....;) :D

[Judy Howle]

I agree with Kerry's comments. The composition and perspective and the blue coloring are spot-on this one.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Denise, a really nice composition. I especially like the blues and rust colors.

Hi D. I love the perspective and colors on this one..the grunge look (I agree with Kerry almost has a Myst look to it) is very cool, can't wait to get my hands on the CS5 HDR software...well done

[denise ippolito]

Thanks a lot folks. I appreciate it.:)

[WIlliam Maroldo]

I hate this kind of stuff! It makes me not only need to upgrade to CS5 but buy a super wide angle lens! Seriously I like it alot; the composition, detail, texture, color, perspective, technique, and on and on..... regards~Bill

Thanks Bill, I appreciate the kind comments.

Hi Denise,

Quite nice. I love the way the stairs carry you through the scene. Wouldn't change a thing!

Andrew, Thank you I appreciate it.:)

[Arthur Morris]

I love this one. The image is superbly designed and the grunge and the blue put it over the top for me. It's as if I were there. Wait, I was there!

[denise ippolito]

You are too funny Artie! Hey thanks for letting me use the lens!:)
