Comments by Rory Hudson on Fri, 05/04/07 02:23 Very nice, Julie, you have got the depth of field just right so that the truck is sharp while most of the rest is soft. This is a subject matter I like. The branch over the headlight is a good touoh. Monochrome was probably best for this. Comments by Ruth Rittichier on Fri, 05/04/07 07:43 Agree with Rory. Well done, Julie. Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Fri, 05/04/07 08:20 I like the painterly feel of the composition, the toning working well with a black background, and the illusion that is created by the engine as of a human face looking back at the viewer. Comments by Rick Longworth on Fri, 05/04/07 15:38 I guess a big factor is to get the truck to stand out against a busy background. The slight blur seems to do quite well. Did you enhance it at all this time? The llc seems a bit too bright and could be burned a little or a lot. I like the way the truck has integrated itself with the vegetation, so I'd say you would not want to modify too much and destroy that nice effect. Comments by Ray Ewing on Fri, 05/04/07 21:43 good one, nice atmosphere Comments by Steve Owen on Fri, 05/04/07 22:34 Very nice! I like the effect you achieved here. There is something appealing about old trucks. Comments by Allen on Sat, 05/05/07 06:17 Very nice Julie and it works well in B&W. Good PS work. Comments by Dave Lavash on Sat, 05/05/07 09:30 A great find and well taken. Comments by Michael Hibbitts on Sat, 05/05/07 10:26 Seems a little soft up front - are you using a tripod? Comments by Julie M. Dant on Sat, 05/05/07 16:58 Thanks everyone, I am behind again on my responses..sorry. I appreciate all comments very much, though. I used my salt and pepper filter 2x on this (called buzz effect in Paintshop I believe). Then blurred the background a little. I also did a little cloning to clean up the branch. Nope, no tripod. Here is the original. Comments by Garry Schaefer on Sat, 05/05/07 19:05 Effective treatment of the original for a good result. Comments by Luka Ban on Sun, 05/06/07 08:40 Nicely done. Comments by Julie M. Dant on Sun, 05/06/07 10:20 Rick here is the version with the llc burned. I see what you mean. I hope I did it correctly. Comments by Linda Frey on Sun, 05/06/07 21:15 Nicely done, Julie. Your burning looks just right, too. Comments by Maria Salvador on Tue, 05/08/07 11:24 Linda said it well. I agree! :-) Comments by Caillault on Wed, 05/16/07 11:30 Julie, this is probably my favorite of all pictures on the site, I mean it. You did a WONDERFUL job, your B and W is a beauty ! Brabo and even bravissimo ! ! ! !
