A Photographic Quote of Note:
I do not object to retouching, dodging, or accentuation as long as they do not interfere with the natural qualities of photographic technique.

  1. I like the textures in the boards. Nice smooth tones speak to very careful processing. Nice work. I like Stieglitz’s comment on manipulation. I’ve always felt adjustments were okay as long as they cannot be individually noticed in an image.

     
  2. Very interesting abstract. I like the processing.

     
  3. I love this abstract of the fense and the color tones you applied here Michael!

     
  4. Great detail shot and nice color processing.

     
  5. I agree with the quote too. This photo is a perfect example. The integrity is not lost yet the processing adds a new dimension. Beautiful Michael.

     
  6. Nicely done… interesting DOF.

     
  7. Symmetry, texture, tones, simplicity, perfection.

    Works well, Mr R

     
  8. I fully agree with Alfred Stieglitz words and your picture is a nice demonstration of it. Fine shot, I like the tones and the textures!
