Description I found a really old photo on the computer and played a little bit around with it. The picture is taken somewhere in Croatia. The original picture is much lighter and looks more "cosier", so this is probably (at this moment), the most edited photo in my gallery, but I like the feeling of it !

Yeah, it has a slightly forbidding feel to it. Really nice work.

Thank you so much
I think that would be quite an impossible hunt, even I don't remember where I took the picture (except that it was somewhere north, maybe on Krk), and it became a tiny bit different after going through photoshop

Beautiful photo! Did you like your visit to Croatia and where have you been? I won't comment more 'cause everybody said great things and exactly what I think. You have very nice gallery!

Thank you !
We were in the north, Rovinj, and on Krk (I love that name, no vovels ) and some of the Islands around. I would have loved to go to the south, but we had actually planned to have the vacation in the north of Italy, and had ordered tickets to Milan. Some weeks before the trip my mom had checked a little bit around and found out that it was to expensive in Italy, so we travelled from Milan to Croatia instead, and since we had to get back to Milan for our flight back, we didn't have time for the south. But it was a really nice trip, and probably I will come back one day, to see the south!

It would be interesting to see the original. I love before and afters

Either way, this is extremely lovely. I think you did a wonderful job at finding this interesting subject, and an even better job at depicting a ... depressing... mood through the photograph.

Good job.

It's hard to believe that is a real place.. it seems so surreal, something from the fantasy world. I like it, I only wish you had linked to the original so that I could do a comparisson.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Kvikken In reply to chibigiggles [2007-02-01 17:56:33 +0000 UTC]

I also find it a little bit surreal, and I keep switching between the surreal and conceptual category. It's a little bit hard to link to the original since it's not on the internet, only on my computer, but if I have time one day, I might upload it as a scrap or something. But you can think of the original as a lot lighter, bleaker and more boring piece of work than this one !

xRIEx [2007-02-01 16:53:46 +0000 UTC]

Excellent mood to it. It doesn't appear manipulted, which is always the best sort of manipulation.
