Beautiful image, Bobby. I like the high-key effect here. #7850204

As usual you have given us quality Bobby. Very nice rendition. The high key is just the ticket for this shot. And congratulations on the well deserved EP.

If you have the time, try a couple of suggestions. The two sided frame appears strange to me and I'd recommend continuing it on all sides.


The other suggestion concerns the predominately green cast to the image. Try using the levels adjustment on just the green channel by sliding the black slider to the right to about 50. This should bring out some more of the rust color and diminish the green cast. #7850642

Thanks all. And thanks for the suggestions, Dale. The frame really isn't a frame so much. It's the beveled edge I give all my uploads. I see what you are saying though. I think if I were to switch to the newer gallery look, you'd see the right side of it. Gonna keep it as is because I'm kinda ocd about having the bevel the same on all the pics, lol.

I'll give your color adjustments a try, but I'm wary of changing it too much since I have the color calibrated so the prints match what is on my screen. I'm not seeing the overall green cast (well, maybe a little, but I liked it), but when I viewed it on a friends pc the green was heavier. Gonna mess around with it more anyway and bring out more of the rust color you mentioned :) #7851273

Excellent high key effect Bobby, congrats on the EP...I see the green tinge as well and interested to see how it looks with the color adjusted... #7851483

Jodi M. Walsh August 16, 2009

congrats on the EP! I didn't know if the green was intended or not but I love the comp

very nice! #7854211

Bobby R. Strange August 16, 2009

Thanks all. Haven't had a chance to play around with it yet.

Debbra, there's a couple different ways to calibrate it. I think the most accurate way is to use a hardware calibration device, although some of them can be expensive. Some labs will send you a calibration kit that you can use as well. #7854228
