Return To Yorkshire
Dec 26, 2019 07:21:06 #
The last time you saw these two was in my post Escape From Redcar. In this composite Trixi is out for a quite evening stroll in a Yorkshire valley - but there's somebody lurking in the shadows!
For those interested, the setting is Old Gang lead mine in Swaledale. The buildings were the smelting works. All that was finished by the early1900's.
Needless to say, the steampunks were photographed elsewhere.
Your thoughts and critique are very welcome.

MHO - for what it's worth - you have spoiled a great landscape

Sorry but to me they do not fit in the landscape. Trixi looks out of place given the state of the weather.. Her brolly will not be much use when the rain comes..

I'm having problems with Trixi's size relative to the landscape, and also a problem with the lighting - how is she so brightly lit in front? Maybe this work is not quite fanciful enough so as to suspend these concerns?

I love everything about it. The girl, the lurker, the background, the color, everything. Very creative IMO.

IMHO there are two things to consider in this picture: Post Processing then separately, Digital Image. The post processing technique is flawless. As to the image I think Trixi may be a trifle large but I like the lighting. It pulls the eye to Trixi and makes you work for everything else.

OK, but you imply that you like the landscape, so that’s a plus. Many thanks for commenting, I do appreciate it.

Hmm, she’s actually meant to look out of place, but it doesn’t have to work for everybody. Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts, it’s appreciated.

I think a better knowledge of where the viewer was standing would have helped Linda - I could probably have helped that by providing a bit more foreground. Have to say, it’s not one I felt very satisfied with, so interesting to hear everyone’s thoughts. Thanks for yours, they’re helpful, as always.

No, it was a studio led lamp, although the shot was taken in a Victorian water pumping station.

I brightened her skin tones a little in pp, and removed a nasty shadow on her face from the parasol . I pondered a while on whether to leave her that bright but decided there could well be some unseen light source picking her out - perhaps not!

Thanks Jack, but we’re definitely outnumbered here!
