Imitation

[surenj]

is one way to become more creative and artistic.

In this picture, I am attempting to imitate a photog that you may or may-not know. Guess who? What do you think of the image?? Good, bad, fugly? Keep those critiques coming....be sure to log-in though.

Is this the suburban version of Eugene W. Smiths 'Walk in Paradise Garden'?

[surenj]

Hi Matt, I didn't know about Eugene Smith but now I've had a look. Thanks for the name though; always looking out for new styles etc.

I have thought long and hard on this one and I believe I have the answer - surenj

I don't mind it and I like the idea but I think it might have worked better if the foreground (pavers) were all consistent out to the lone group - or rather I would have liked them all to be those darker bricky things rather than the very light reflective pavers.

Can't spot who you're trying to imitate but the concept is there. Have the rule of thirds applied horizontally but there's just something in it that misses the mark. Keep working on it though.

Suren, that cloning is terrible

rhine thingy-a-bob..

works well. but i can't get past the cloning

[Murray Foote]

I think it might work better cropped in a bit from the bottom.

Not quite an Andreas Gursky.

 LOL Thanks boys. Apologies for the terrible clone. LR has pretty limited cloning (Deliberate I think) and I've shown the original with a crop here.

I thought I was imitating Matt with a little sprinkle of extra elemets thrown in. Even had the slope.

[Murray Foote]

Yes, I think that's better.

I think that's a drain grate in the centre. Maybe if you'd got someone to climb down there and poke a few fingers up through it just for a cryptic effect....

Murray it wasn't meant to be a morbid image but an interesting idea nonetheless....
