amiss



Submitted for a contest a while ago under the theme of a 2-photo narrative. What do you think about the story that it tells? How can it be enhanced? Should the color contrast between the two be amplified? What about the composition and idea?

For some reason this resize looks much less sharp than even 1:1, even with sharpening applied.

There is a lot of haloing around the people and rocks. This is very common with back lite images. Here is a great tutorial on how to remove the halos in PP'ing.

Yeah, I couldn't get it looking quite right at low resolution. With higher resolutions, it just looks so much sharper (with no noticeable haloing). In the end I just gave up and left it like this for the small version.

The photos have nice colors and compositions, but I do not feel any story. Of course, with two words, it will be a short story :-)
