Caribou antlers

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted September 29, 2013286 views7 comments

This is from a Fujicolor 400 scan. I was not sure which gallery it would fit it, so I decided POP. The noise level is high even with reduction, but I liked the mood this image seems to project, or maybe it is just my memories!

I like the mood too John. There does appear to be a green color cast, but this only serves to enhance the feel of lonesome nostalgia I get when viewing the photo. Noise is a non issue with this type of photo in my opinion, or perhaps should say is also part of the feel of the photo. Beautiful.

I like this a lot John. I agree with what Gary has already said - the green color-cast and grain/noise appear to be intentional to create a mood - consistent with the subject matter (clearly the skull is still attached to those antlers). Very minor thought - the small bush on the right is fairly bright + vibrant in comparison to the overall image, so I would be tempted to tone it down or clone it out... but that's my personal preference.

This photo really tells a story

Them's some big antlers, John. The somber mood is well conveyed.

John,
I just saw this post, Mood Indeed . . . Outstanding !
The noise adds an Old West film grain effect, the somber green tones throughout, the Pano crop and the lighting effect from bright on the left fading into the antlers and shadows to the right all work really well.
Congratulations on the WP . . .
