 DSC_5675

A simple shot of me sawing a board in my basement - it also happens to be my work area, so i really didn't need to move much around for the shot! Not expecting too much but hope it gets in the upper fives...

Editing: Crop, Hue/Saturation to desaturate - taking my jeans and the background from blue to black and darkened those colors to match the background, noise ninja, USM at large radius (25,50,0), resize for web, USM at large radius, USM (200,0.2,0), curves, save for web.

Good execution but I didn't get a sense of "purpose" or "place."

Nice image - Like the tones and lighting and the slow shutter to ad some interest. Nice sharp study
