Will this be going in your next installment of the graphic novel

Excellent post processing for this picture!!...

Inspiring....

another good one Toad. heaps of interest in there......... I do like your PPing. now I don't want to say too much because I am wondering how much is the shot and how much you have added..........

What were they filming and where? I've often thought of stopping and grabbing shots at a movie shoot.

Thanks people!

Colin: No idea what they were filming - just a quick grab.

Russt: There is no extra detail added - in fact this is a fairly heavy crop of a larger photo.

Schell: Likely not in the graphic novel - but who knows - depends where the story goes. I was working on "The Crime Scene" for that project and couldn't see straight anymore - you get that way when you mess with transforming perspective for a couple of hours. I did this one for a change of pace.

Irma: Thanks - I was happy with the pp work - it is a cocktail of about 4 effects - each faded back 50% or more.

It's a great shot, but somehow I wonder about the light. It looks great, but unnatural, and you notice how much the feedback is focussed on the pping. if that was your aim, great, definitely looks eye pleasing.

Your composition definitely very skillfully mastered the crowded appearance of the place!

Well, I hear what you are saying, but the "real" lighting was also pretty surreal - its under movie lights after all. Here is the absolutely unretouched original cropped the same way. You can see the lighting really isn't that much different (other than a bit of selective dodging of the dark bits on the left).

Thats pretty cool, I like it even more now!! great capture.

Thanks so much for posting your original picture Toad...

As I said you post processing is excellent... I love the exquisite way you brought into play details that were imperceptible in the original... The little trees, the bun of the girl, the hair of the guy and so on...... that is what I like the most of your work, in a very subtle way you make it looks so artistic...

Wow! Thanks! Comments don't get much better than that!
