I'm seeing what looks like jpeg artifacts in most of the picture. Elson T. Elizaga - What's going on here? This is an example of a picture where lack of context is pretty unsettling. Emily L. Ferguson - Reciprocity Failure - desatted The blue version of this flashed briefly on my screen before it was replaced by this week's rendition. I think I see what you are saying about the dynamic range, though it would help to be able to see the other version to really tell. Could you post a link to that one? What method did you use to desaturate? John Mason - Blue: Delmar Boulevard, St. Louis I'm a sucker for banal shots of cars these days*, so I would probably like this even without the stripe, and the reflection of the stripe running down the window, over the hood, even on to the bumper. If it was my picture I would probably have tried to up the saturation of the stripe a little, not that it would necessarily have been an improvement. *an example: <http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=818330&size=lg> Jeff Spirer - Chicago Very nice picture. Do you feel there's a Japanese influence here, as you've mentioned before in connection to other pix? It's a little hard to make out the rest of the lettering on screen but I like that it's there and that it's hard to decipher. It means you have to keep looking, without it the strength of the easily apprehended aspects of the image might cause the viewer to move on too quickly. It contributes a reality and depth to something that might otherwise be too simple. -- Alan P. Hayes Meaning and Form: Writing, Editing and Document Design Pittsfield, Massachusetts
