Buckingham Fountain II - B&W
This is another shot of the Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park, Chicago. While I normally try to remove people from the image, it is almost impossible at this location. But I was lucky in this image to catch a time when the "tourist impact" was minimal.
Modification in CS4 and Topaz included; Topaz DeNoise5, Accent Edges,Selective Color, Topaz Lens Effects, B&W and other normal PS image adjustments.
Enjoy!
This is awesome, Mark! I love the fountain and how beautifully it stands out in the backdrop of that dark sky. I do see couple of dark spots left of the fountain that may need minor cleanup... nicely done!
Thanks Indranil for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.
Not sure what dark spots you see. I checked the original and the first generation full sized B&W image and don't see anything unusual. There are "shadows in the clouds", but no dust bunnies that I can see. But appreciate your comments. Maybe my eyes are worse than the eye doctor says!
Mark, I like the conversion and the comp. I too see the dust bunnies or what appears to be dust bunnies on the left.
Wonderful subject and symmetry, Mark!
Nice work on this one. Like the composition very much. I also see what looks like dust bunnies.
Dust bunnies on an otherwise lovely image Mark, well done
Hi Mark lovely B&W conversion...ditto on the dust bunnies.
Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.
I still cannot find DBs in the image. What I see on blowing it up is the outline of the clouds where dark black shows. This could be what you see as DBs. Not to argue, as I do appreciate the heads up, but don't know what to remove if it is there??????
But guess this is a different definition of ... Y.I.Y.V. ??
This is the area you are questioning in the original image, as shot, without pp. Should be there, but ???
But again, thanks for your viewing and comments. I do appreciate it.
Very nicely done, Mark! Beautifully processed and composed.
Thanks Brendan for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.
