In chains

C and C please.













All with the K10D, FA 43mm Ltd.

Number 1 for me Womble but it needs a little more contrast

I like them all, it is difficult to pick a favourite. I disagree with Martin (sorry), but I think the low contrast look gives the chains a "strength", that they might not have if you bump the contrast up.

Personally, I don't see a pleasin' composition in any of the shots. They do look flat too.

Agree with above, more contrast needed

Paul

Interesting shot and I'm with Peter on this, the photos have strength and contrast seems good enough to me.

I like the composition of number 2 and perhaps a green filter.

I looked at these photos again just now on my computer at work. On this uncalibrated (and pretty awful) monitor, they do look a bit flat, whearas on my calibrated monitor at home they look just right to me.

Just goes to show what a difference the monitor makes.

Just wanted to say that both my PC and laptop are calibrated and I calibrate every week, but I still find them a tad flat to MY liking.

Everyone has their personal choices on how contrasty an image should be. If Kris likes the shot this way then who are we to argue.

Paul

The flatness or otherwise of the images can be adjusted, and will depend, of course, on the type of paper on which they are printed. I was thinking to arrange these four prints in a square within a single frame although they will need a little work on the cropping to make them all the same size.

Pauly Richard obviously hates them, I am curious as to others views as I rather like them especially when seen as a set.

Best wishes, Kris.

I have just read the comments from the start, my first comment states that I agree with the above. What I meant was that I agreed that the images looked a little flat. I do not agree with PaulyRichard though (sorry).

I do really like the images and Kris, I do think they will look good printed in a set.

I personally would print them nice and big and have the mount and frame hand made.

Paul

Hi Kris,I think your right with the four in one frame.No's 1 & 3 are very similar so flipping one of them would allow for both diagonals to run the same way.Also colour of mount and frame need to be well chosen to make the best of it.My own choice would be something darkish,but that's a matter of personal taste.
My own favourites are 1 & 2.Tony.

I had already flipped one so that it would run the other way! I'll do some low quality prints and try arranging them in different ways.

As a matter of curiosity, I tried a high contrast version of one of them...




I have probably overdone that one.

Perhaps I should post the original PEF file and people could play with it :

Best wishes, Kris.

Hi Kris,Great minds and all thatThe contrasty one to my eye, on my monitor is more satisfying.Tony

i like the new one,
