Exhibit Selections – ep. 8

A late post for a Sunday, as I’m finally getting to doing some more editing (and a bit of guitar practice) on what is an otherwise very relaxed day (i.e. not doing much, other than watching sports and getting in a 4-mile walk).

As I’m editing the image titled Sunrise Streaks, I’ve come up with an alternate treatment that I think might strike a chord with some viewers, so I’m hitting you up for your opinion on which version you like best…

Redux or original?

This image was the result of my eye catching the cloud formations in the sky and the wonderful lines that were created by them.  With the amount of warmth in the sky, I wanted to let the Sun peek around the edge of the Yoga Tree, which I knew would create a bit of lens aberration; I actually like this aberration, as it lends a bit of distortion to what could become a very sterile scene, if everything were perfect.

A bit of weird logic from my warped mind, but I like taking a different view of the world from time to time.

Hope you like one of these…

Technical Details

This image was captured with an iPhone 5S using the standard Camera app. Post processing in PhotoShop added a bit of Rusted Grunge with Topaz ReStyle.

    I like the warm colors of the first one.

      I’m leaning that way too.

    Me too. Plus it’s a little different / unique, and you were looking for a distorted look. Adds to the distortion in a beautiful way! 🙂

    The first one looks more professional – the clarity and colours, but the second one gives me more of a feel of being there. So I like both!
