de Gothia Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Better lightning in the pics and this could be one of the top candidates! You really set the bar with this one! Love it!! Quote
Mike S Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 You replicated the worn moss covered statue vibe perfectly! Awesome job! Quote
mccoyed Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Brilliant to make a ruined statue and you pulled it off very well Superb border too, the way you incorporated Mitgardian colors works nicely Thanks SK! Better lightning in the pics and this could be one of the top candidates! You really set the bar with this one! Love it!! DG, could you look at the alternates on Flickr and let me know if you think any of them are better than the one I chose? I could swap em or include an alternate lighting pic as I did a few due to the lighting problems I had with this one. You replicated the worn moss covered statue vibe perfectly! Awesome job! Thanks Mike S! Quote
mccoyed Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 I thought I'd try using GIMP to fix these pictures. Am I allowed to fix the lighting on this to the best of my ability before the end of the Challenge? I really do think this entry, at least, is a contender and therefore want it to be as good as it can be. Old Version: Improved Version: Quote
mrcp6d Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Second one looks great to me! A tip I just got from my brother today (one good thing about having relatives around during the holidays!) is to lengthen the shutter speed (exposure time) on the camera to compensate for less-than-blindingly-bright lighting conditions. He and I were bouncing around between 1/30 and 1/4 seconds this afternoon with my little point-n-shoot and dialing that speed in really makes a difference. If your flickr data is correct, it looks like you were using a speed of 1/128s. You might just need more time for more light to hit the sensor. Quote
SarahJoy Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) One of my favorite entries in the challenge. I dig the Easter Island vibe, and the sheer weathered-ness is remarkable. The tilt of the ruins, combined with careful color and texture choices on the sculpture, is really beautiful. The contrast between the mossy green and grass green is skillfully done.
