Yes, this was shot in low light....but when I converted it to b&w and tweaked the sharpness it just came out with this grainy effect that I really liked... I had a feeling I would get a lot of negative comments on it so I was really surprised by how many folks actually liked the effect as much as I did. Thanks for all who voted and I appreciate the comments. :) BTW, these were my daughter's feet...shot on our living room sofa with a chenille blanket underneath her. And yes....I've been onto her about biting her nails forever now. :)
LOL -- "It's too grainy!" Yup, it is and I LIKE IT! Really interesting effect -- looks like the photo was really blown out and then brought back somehow. What did you use under the feet?
Very nice. My only nitpic would be to get the little finger out of the shadow between the feet or eliminate the shadow. This shot should do very well in this challenge in spite of there being so many excellent photos.
the more i look at this photo, the more i like it. the position, and graininess is very effective here with the b&w but there are some places that look a tad blown out like the little finger of the upper hand. you've just moved up to my top10, err, top 11 i guess. :) -- gr8photos (9)
I see a lot of graineness in this image and since the image is in greyscale I am going to assume you are trying to simulate a the look of highspeed film pushed to the max. That said, I've been looking at this picture and going fron 'I like it.' to ' It just doesn't feel right.' I'm going to give a high score and I don't know why.
I like this. B&W and graininess is great. My one complaint (and this is probably because my husband drives me nuts with this) is that the subject appears to be a nail biter/picker. Pet peeve...sorry : P 7 Lisa
the texture is intriguing. at first it put me off, but the longer I looked at it, the more I liked it. The gritty yet smooth summarizes the subject matter nicely. I'm amazed that these feet look so much like my son's!
