After doing some post w/ this one, I have really come to like it. I know I ignored the thirds rule, and I intentionally turned down the color sat. and other features. However, and as I am biased, I would love to hear your opinions.
Thanks,
DustyYou should like it Dusty and I like it too, don’t let any of the opinions change your mind on that. Before I can express any opinions, I would need to know if you shot that through a filter or was that added in post edit? I’m guessing post edit but don’t want to take that for granted.
I did have on a circular polarizer; the vignette and color reduction were done in post using Aperture 2.1. I really did not do that much, just took it down to monochrome,readjusted some to add minimal color, then added a bit of sat., contrast, and vibrancy.
Is it more of a grainy desaturated type of look that you are going for? Also, do you calibrate your monitor?
I don’t mean to be illusive with the questions, I just want to know the look that you are going for and if we are looking at the same amount of color’s, on our monitors? I promise that my next reply will be opinions and perhaps suggestions for you :).
That’s a pretty funky grade all right and it works well enough for the shot.
I like the base shot with the exception that the feet are cut off or at least not quite in the frame, makes it look a little sloppy IMHO.
Overall it’s cool.

A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
desaturated, yes, but not necessarily grainy. no, I do not calibrate my monitor yet. in all honesty, I did not really have a goal. I have done this w/ images in the past, and I just like the effect it has
thanks for your opinions guys,
D.I really like that you are thinking out of the box! I like the image but it kind of confuses me. The gradients give the sky a very rich tone. I like the desaturated look but on my monitor, there seems to be some blue hue to the face and upper body. The vignette is a good idea but it did cut off the feet. I am not all that familiar with Aperture and would consider David King to be the go to guy on that program. What I would do, just me mind you, is this: I would desaturate some of the richness in the sky and take the blue hue off of the face and upper body. Then use a low opacity brush to remove some of the vignette around the feet.
I would say that Aperture can do this but I have no idea of how that program works. I like the shot and angle of the shot, as well as the direction that you took it in post edit!!
