I really like this one darin, awesome work.

Love this shot how it is! Quite surreal.

its a picture out of time. Very much a wpa type photo from the days when professional photographers were hired by the government to shoot life in the depression era. It is very well done, and since I am big on retro I applaud you,

Thats what I love about photography different strokes..... I am 100% about retro I liked the first one better.

 

[Jeff Canes]

Wow, IMO that a lot better, I can see the details better now

 

[greasemonkey]

wow, I really like the second one better. Do you do all your work in the dark room, or was this a photoshop job?

 

[Chiller]

Great captured Darin. I really dig the second shot. Nicely done.

 

[hammy]

I like them both. Reminds me of the California countryside i grew up in...
I really like the blown out areas on the first one. Of course I am a fan of raw, rustic, old looking photographs.

What film and developer did you use?

 

[ThomThomsk]

I much prefer the first one. Nice grain on the second though.

Your approach to make it appear more surreal comes through in your initial conception of the final product - the first one for me. It is more of an original thought derived from the raw capture.

Taken with that rangefinder I see you holding in that avatar?

I agree completely. The first shot, blown areas and all, is sublime. The second one, while it may *technically* be hitting the mark, abandons the retro/surreal quality of the first and loses its appeal for me.

That first shot is the absolute best thing I've ever seen from you, Darin. :thumbup:
