love or hate? by ingrid2101

love or hate?

Played around with this one - maybe a tad too much ? Part of me likes it and another part doesn't so interested to see what you think. Maybe the rh side is too pixelly or the tilt shift has left too much in focus under the tree. The colours are way off too but it really was a dull day. I will not be offended with criticism so go ahead!
Are you sure you're not going to be offended? :P It's the colours that get to me. Sorry :(

@Cheesebiscuit Haha - not at all, that's why I put it up as I couldn't make up my mind. Don't apologise - I asked :) seriously I would only ask for critique when I do really want it. Considering about including this in my college work and this will help swing it :)

Three words ! Enchanting, beautiful & love :)

@ingrid2101 The thing is, the whole photo looks artificial because of the tilt shift. So... are the colours then "wrong"? I don't know. It's just my opinion, but I'm biased towards photos that are more natural looking anyway, so am probably not a good indicator.

I find it pleasing Ingrid. I am guessing the processing adds a reddy pink hue to the whole shot? I guess it depends how you could include in your college work, ie does it fit a brief or topic? Overall, it does have an enchanted look.

Enchanted or post-Apocalyptic... :D I love what the tilt-shift does here, the colours, well, I'm all for fairylands and unicorns and dragons and such - I think they live there. :) Perhaps not the cutest kind, but the black unicorns, the grumpy dragons and mischievous pixies. ;)

I like this. It almost looks like it was cross processed. Is that true? Here's a link to some of my cross processed negatives. It reminded me of this stuff.

My first foray into developing color, and for some reason it had to be x-pro :) lol

Looks rather unearthly - actually what it makes me think of is foliage on model train sets for some reason - think it's the texture of the leaves. I really like it though!

I think this is fantastic Ingrid really can't fault it at all. FAV for me

First reaction when I saw this: oooh, beautiful...love this ! Just like these kind of processing Fav for me :-)

I love the out of focus background and think the colours give it a very errie and dreamlike quality. Fav.

I like it!

Looks great to me - just like a tilt shift miniature photograph.

I like the color! looks like a fairy forest!

Lovely feel to it

I like the colours - they give it an unnerving feel.
I think you might be right about the right looking a bit blocky.

This almost looks like you've tilt-shifted it. It has a kind of miniature feel to it, in an unusual way... and because it's so different to normal tilt-shift shots which are usually buildings or cars or people. But I do still like it, Ingrid. I love all the different effects you manage to create and textures and styles. Your work intrigues me totally!

@pfassett Thanks Paul - this just had the white balance slightly shifted - I have cross processed some film before - see 12th and 13th March, however I didn't get the same results as you ! Must do some more actually :)
May 14th, 2013  
I do understand your doubts, but at the end I must say I love it, well done,
