Gnome

Was out walking about today and walked across this random gnome. Played with the photo on lightroom a little and came up with these 2. What you guys think?

Sorry, imo, these are just excessively worked pictures of a garden gnome with nothing to draw my eye.

My favorite here is #1 Technically fine, but pretty much falls under Lew's description. I just don't get the second one at all.

Excessive processing is fine by me, as long as it means something to the creator. Digital asks for it, digital is made for it. To have a fun, to play on own feelings. It doesn't mean it will make the same sense for the others.
Here is a sample how extensive could be a processing work:

I agree with this sentiment. They just don't interest me or draw me in, and they seem highly over-processed.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I agree with not being too fond of over processed photos. I did intend on processing these photos to highlight aspects of it that stood out to me - at the time. If you guys want to see anything I've taken without processing, you'll be equally as disappointed lol. My skills just haven't had much time to grow recently - it's that busy time of year for work.

Thanks for the input fellas
