Buckingham Fountain
This image of Buckingham Fountain, in Chicago's Grant Park, was taken on our last trip home. It shows the fountain and the Chicago skyline in the background.
Modification for B&W in CS4 & Topaz included; Topaz DeNoise 5, Selective Colors, Accented Edges, Curves, Topaz Lens Effects, Topaz B&W and other normal PS image adjustments.
Enjoy!
Denise, hope you can read it. If not, try highlighting the text that should make it readable.
Neat image, Mark. I like the comp, skyline and B&W effect. Might be a fun one to try the Topaz Star filter on.
Hi Mark, a very nice fountain...Steve's idea for the star filter might be really fun to try.
I really like this Mark. The conversion to b&w works very well. Only suggestion would be that I wish the object in the LLC wasn't quite so tight to that side of the frame...another little bit of space there might have been nice.
Beautiful composition, Mark. I like your conversion... nice tonal contrast. TFS.
Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.
Jules, I was unable to get more on that side. I wanted to include the feature, but shooting this fountain is like shooting the Vietnam wall in DC. People everywhere, so to get a wider shot, I would have had to move back into the crowd around me. I was lucky that I was able to time the exposure so no one was on the other side, but that is rare. I also wanted to space the buildings in the BG proportionally. Sorry, but I couldn't have everything. I tired!
Very nice composition and processing Mark!
Nice job.
Thanks Judy and Anita for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.
