Me trying to discover the secrets of postprocesing work ,and I found some tools there in my program( this time some histogram adjustments ,in b&w) and I liked only how now the lovers seem to walk on a bright way
It is like the love make their way so bright in a grey world
Only one experiment :)

Hi Isabela,
I like your composition and work you did.
Thank you.
Cem

A really artistic one Isabela, one of your best work, IMO, compliments!!!!

Have a nice day,
Fabio.

A B&W composition with a very special unreal atmopsphere.
I like the contrast, and the enhanced black lines.
Really a high class work.

Simple but attractif.
Great patterns effects and grey tones.
I like it.

PS : about your yesterday question : I use only Photoshop and for your photo I used fonction "torsion".

Best regards. Grazayna.

Hi Isabela,
I like the experiment you try...and like most how you captured the scene from this high point.Except the couple comes out a wonderful graphism.
The style of photography that I like very much!

Wishes,
Thomas

Hi Isabela
do not know what you did as pp, but it looks nice how the way is lighter than the rest of the picture, the amount of details is also nice.

It came out pretty exciting in my small view. My tries are usually, I don't know, not really something I would show. I really love the emptyness in this one, a lot of stone, with some human presence and this makes the picture for me personally, how they walk out of the grey. Something like that, can't really explain it :) But the b/w for me is perfect and the frame is suiting the photo, very tasteful indeed. Enjoy our afternoon, with lots of color and sunhine! Barbara.

Buna IZA,
Vad ca te specializezi in B&W. Felicitari pentru prelucrare dar si pentru imagine.
Deci asta faceai tu pe pod....
Nyce and wonderfull perspective on the short time when we are visited Sibiu.

Hi Isabela,
Great experiment, your efforts paid off. Most importantly, your framing was perfect to begin with. You have excelled in B/W shots recently.

This is very nice b&w picture, with nice subject. I did some workshop on it. I hope you don’t mind.

Interesting,
At a first glance, it looks flat, 2D; then looking at the patterns in the brick wall and the paved street we can reconstruct the 3D scene.
The couple that walks out of the scene adds tension... it fits the image.

Yellooooo Isa
Lovers walking on a bright way sounds like a very good program to me :-) and yes your PP enhancing the contrast there enhances this. I wonder if so much foreground was necessary.
Writing grom Normandy, te pup JY

cata piatra!!!!:p lasand gluma la o parte, e interesanta prelucrarea. Imi plac petele astea de alb peste tot. Cred ca ai mai folosit tipul asta de PP, dar in varianta sepia mai demult, tot intr-o fotografie din Sibiu, intr-o biserica parca. F tare !

Hi Isabela, beautiful image
i love the couple so little in the composition
the texture of the road is great
i like the choice of black and white too
bravo!
ciao and hae a great week end! :))
Valeria

This one is just right for black and white, Isabela. The pattern and the bold composition make it an arresting image. the two people are placed well to give in focus and movement. regards kevin

Hi dearissimo !
What a wonderfull graphism. Perfect pov and mesterly compo.
Amazing effect.
TFS and hava a nice weekend
Best regards

isa

we see, we hear, we feel..
Here, the motion created , using the deepest passions of presentation gives a different look at a world, seen, in another angle.
The compositional balance creates a sensible energy, that flows deep to the cores..
Think, shoot...
You do wonders..
You are capable too.. realise this :)

Seemingly simple photo, but in fact very impressive one. Amazing POV, superb b&W mode.
Regards my dear friend.

Hi Isa
It's true pp can offer a variety of ways in affecting and interfering reality. Had it not been for your great capture the effect itself would never have done justice to itself.
Thanks for a creative expression

I like the result for sure. Minimalism, graphism and a good b&w!

Hey Isabela,

A marvelous experiment. Something different, but yet somewhat familiar. A fine perspective and lines to it, while the B&W works nicely.

Best regards.

hello Isabela,
excellent graphical image. I love the textures and geometry of the bricks and paving. They both contrast and complement each other.The usual rule is to say that the the people should be walking into the frame not out of it but here the rule is meant to be broken. The two people seem to be hurrying out of the frame in order to leave a vacant frame, free except for the bare brickwork.

Bev

This is a brilliant BW composition with the 2 lovers seemingly walking at a fast pace. I like the contrast between the bright path and the cobble stone texture around it

Alfred

Hi Isabela,
as always (:P) a wonderfully refreshing shot. Original and thought provoking.
a wonderful compo. very bendy...but so straight foreward.
kind regards
Paul

Hi Isabela,
Perfect b/w with perfect contrast and sharpening you did a nice job.

Hola Isabela.
Your PP really worked, nice composition. Keep searching and you will be surprise all the new things you can do to your shots.
Well done, TFS.
Cheers.

simple, powerful, symbolic... ready for multi interpretations...

Hi Isabela,

great graphism! Nothing could be better than than those strong contrast mono tones. The couple is perfectly placed in the frame too. I like it!
Regards,
Carlos

Fantastic texture and a dynamic energy photo.
I really like the way you framed here in a great and single compo.
TFS Isabela

Hi, Isabela!
Yes, great compo and correct postprocessing.
This is a classic!

Hi Isabela

simple, yet so effective, nice composition and POV, and your PP works very well on this image.

Regards
Derek

Hi Isabela,
how could I miss this one... excellent capture and also the postprocessing, fine art..
Compliments, hugs, Chris
PS Did I understand right that you´re coming to Austria ? Tell me...

That's a great work, both the pp and the composition you choose.

Hello Isabela,
Very interesting work in lines and textures. Those two people are essentiel in the overal composition, but for me it are the strong lines what lift this picture to a much higher level. If you call this an experiment then you can be proud on it...it's really good work on the composition and on the b&w conversion...
Have a nice sunny Rumanian weekend ;-)

Hi dear Isabela

Well seen and done

Dear Isa
You've stopped posting, unfortunately. But for me there are plenty of gems in your album to explore. What I like in this picture is your high POV & how the path cuts across the frame. Fine contrast with the bricks and the smooth path. Ideally would have wanted the couple to be on the left of the frame. Experimentation in B&W really looks great here. Fine work!
Best Regards & have a nice weekend

Hi Isabela, the b & w option really brings out the texture of the thousands of bricks in this one and gives great mood to the shot. I also like your composition, with the couple off-centre and seemingly walking out of the frame. Unusual and interesting, I think it works well.
Regards,
Ryno

Ciao Isabela,
a very good attempt on B&W with a good graphic effect. Your composition here is perfect!
A smile
Luca

Ola Isabela ,
Bonita foto a preto e branco os detalhes ficaram fantástico como as texturas gostei muito deste caminho com as duas pessoas , as linhas ficaram muito interessantes , parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Hi Isa,
Nice image with a symbolical message. They're walking through the dark bricks on the light pavement, they're walking through the problems of life together...
I also like the slight tilt, it makes the photo a bit more philosophical and unfettered.
TFS!
Cheers,
Marci

Hello, Isabela

Truly interesting composition. The couple walks hastily, as if trying to overpass these walls as soon as possible. Their tread is firm, their hand grasp - strong. It seem like they will make it, for our's sake at least...

Regards,

Asparuh
