Description
Off to a rocky start this week.
Captured 9/8/12, early AM, off the front wall of a nondescript building on a nearby boulevard.
Original on top and totally ZOOM worthy.
Just one out of a total of 36 pics I snapped during my excitement in finding this gem. It pays to take new routes while walking.
My fav is #2 because it does such a fabulous job on the textures.
Allaismalardik, and have a nice day.

It's so nice to see such large captures of these walls. And I'm amazed at the clarity in all 3, given the size limits (130 kb per shot, appr, often doesn't give such clarity of detail: you did your compression very sensitively here). What amazed me when this went up was that you'd postworked these: Your choices are so photographic, ie, they're so true to the actual nature of the wall, they could pass as straight from the camera, at different times of day or even of different walls. I can't get over how your postwork seems like camera-work: It's a first rate job of mixing photoshop with camera work. The wall-capture itself is monumental: in its sweep, the many clear-faces, your amazingly even light, and the perspective---ie, how it fans out as it moves towards us. But honestly, number 2 could be the same wall without postwork; because real stones truly do have these variations. It looks like you did some sort of inversion with the shadows, because the shadowed sections appear light and almost white: But I've not seen inversion like this---if in fact that's what you even used---because it looks like varieties of actual marble. It's so stone-like, and so NOT postwork-like, I had to read twice to see that you actually postworked it. A beautiful job, making a whole new image out of these expressive stones. And then the last: But for the rather melancholy hues washing over the surface, this too could be a real stone capture (meaning, without postwork), taken at late day, with deep overcast skies above. It's positively moody, a bit 'blue' (in mood), and the colors are subtle and morph between each other subtly so they're not effects at all, but almost real. In short, this isn't about adorning a capture with postwork, it's about listening 'to' a capture and then coaxing out its essences via postwork...Another beautiful wall from you, and postworked like 2 brand new photos. It's just a beautiful piece.
