Meridien

One more from my time in Nice. This one may be Marmite I feel. Processed in Aurora after some cleaning up

Re: Meridien

Yes Marmite but for me it's the composition as it seems a bit front heavy or maybe I like the front but just want more of that sky It is a big lump of concrete but giving just a glimpse of what appears to be the older part of the bridge poking through.

Still, I do like the pastel processing

Cheers,
John

Thanks as always for your thoughts and comments John. I understand all that you're saying

Re: Meridien

works for me, but as I've just done a similar processed shot you knew I was going to say that

I would consider an edit to loose the shoreline as I think it works better just seeing the water alone ...but nice work

Oh, had you posted similar

You're right about losing the shoreline, good call

Re: Meridien

Re: Meridien

I like Marmite and I like this image as for the shore 6 of 1 half dozen of the other if you remove it or not for me. Well done Alan

Re: Meridien

The second edit is the stronger image Alan, well done

Re: Meridien

I agree, isn't it strange how a simple edit can bring a photo together and seem to increase the prominence of that dramatic sky in the image, Well done

[ColytonJohn]

Re: Meridien

Yes that has improved it But I suppose we'll never know if balancing the forground with more sky would have been a bigger improvement

Cheers,
John

Re: Meridien

I like the processing, a nice look.
The edit looks better as the right hand of the image is more even.
