About Subject background: I'm muddling through my old archives and cleaning up the old ones ;-) I stumbled over this postcard scene and worked on a more weird version. Hope you like the outcome. A similar scene can be found here

PC concept: some layer stuff (high pass, adjustment layers for sky and foreground, channel mixer for the final bold look)

Honest feedback highly appreciated

Hi Carsten,

thanks for the indepth feedback. you're probably right with the orange... I'm just getting used to these kind of techniques. So next time, I will hopefully remember your idea =)

best wishes,

thilo

Being infected with the postcarditis virus myself, I can only agree with the raving comments. Besides, a very nice diagonal composition. But what is a critique without a nit-pick ...? The orange in the sky on the right lacks a bit luminance, IMO. Did you make a levels adjustment there ? What about a multiply blended layer mask ? Just an idea. Anyway, a brilliant picture.
Regards; Carsten

Hi Giorgio,

but the channel mixer does a great job as well.

Dear Gayle,

wow, what a feedback! I feel flattered, getting red and the whole stuff (you know!). now I'm really happy that some people here like the outcome... I was really kind of eager to bring it online when I found the picture yesterday in my archives...

take care,

dear arwa,

thanks a lot for the emotional feedback... I really feel great now! =)

Perhaps it was good that this little picture hided itself in my archives... there are so many pictures online from me now that I would treat different. so I'm glad to get my weird hands on that one ;-)

take care and thanks for the latest dedication!

you're the super feedback wonder woman.

its so flawless it looks more of a Venice painting than a Venice image!
The ideal view of this city painted by the best of artists :)
The mix between the old traditional shown in the buildings and gondolas and both the bus stops & the small motor boat adds interest
thilo I could look at this for hours!
Super good stuff ;)

"Baby i'm amazed at the way you...!"..LOL..capture and create such phenom beauty,Thilo! You must know that i find bold contrast very appealing and the rich colors are just delicious...yum!..the whole glowing image is poetic and passionate which isn't a word i would normally use to describe a scenic,but feel it applies here...to my faves!..regards,gayle (7+)

This is a lovely shot, Thilo. I am not knowledgeable in PS, but this makes me want to start learning. I like the way the light and colours make the image seem to transcend the everyday mundane world and somehow represent a more universal or deeper state...
Nice work!
Regards,
Omar

I think this is extraordinarily beautiful. I love it. The "final bold look" does give the whole scene a painterly quality. As to "postcard" views, I've given up worrying about it. Sometimes a cliché is just impossible to resist--and so I don't!

Happy days,
--George

Hi Andre,
first of all, thanks a lot for the thoughtful words. I indeed tried to create something special.... and it's well observed if you think about something "in between".

take care,

Hi Hugo,

first of all: welcome back ;-)

thanks a lot for the recent comments, I really missed them.

As for the x-processing look, yes, this was kind of an intention. I did a "normal" colored version as well but felt that the color contrasts are not hard enough for this special postcard ;-)

take care,

thilo

Thilo,
This works very well. My son was there about a year and a half ago. He is not a serious photographer and the snapshots he brought back are still very nice to look at. But you have created something on a much higher level. The impression I get from this one is that it appears to be not quite photograph and not quite painting. Something in between! Does that make sense? Is this the sort of effect you were going for? The colours are nice and soft and add to the painting effect.
Andre

Hugo de Wolf Hugo de Wolf   {K:185110} 4/10/2005
Hi Thilo, Nice postprocessing here; it has the feeling of a x-processed film, but much more clarity and colour depth, so on second thought, I'd go for a faded postcard. Lots of things happening in this photo, making it very lively. Good shot!

Cheers,

Hugo

Hi THilo,
it seems you love so much Venice, and i agree with you (of course).
I think you were able with this shot to catch the magical essence of Venice, and yes, i'am agree with Louise, it's looks more "paint" than postcard.
No IR layer here? ;-))
cheers
Giorgio

Very nice post card like shot Thilo, also the time captured (Golden Light). I've always wanted to explore & photograph this city by the water & it's numerous canals. I'm sure this place is loaded with rich street life, nostalgia, still lifes, texture, etc. Anyway well done, cheers.

Honest feedback is that this is wonderful! Light, sky, composition, all wonderful. I wonder about cropping it on the right a bit tho to keep it more simple?? It's lovely either way. I love the final almost surreal sundown look. Like a painting more than a postcard.

Hi Thilo -

I would love to take up the challenge for some negative 'honest' feedback - but i can't really find anything to mention. I think the effects you have used really work wll with this shot.

This shot 'feels' like a painting - but doesn't look like one - if you understand what I mean.

Great shot - I love Venice anyway - but this really does justice to some of its beauty - well done.

Steve
