"The Wait"

[theantiquetiger]

These were a few little figurines sitting on a grave, left by loved ones. They seem to be just waiting with the departed for their loved ones to return

oh I quite like this. Not sure if it's selected colour or just the way it is, but it works for me.

Wonderful light here, well captured!

Very dramatic - I dig it.

There is no selected coloring here. The grave was silver, head stone marble, and the two figures are white, the other is red. You can see specs of color on the head stone. That is actually a reflection of some flowers just above the head stone. During my PP, I actually had to go back and look at the original because I didn't know what the color specs were on the headstone. I thought I had goofed something up during PP.

Here is the original, untouched RAW copy. The grave was painted silver, and VERY reflective, thats why I had to add a ton of vignetting, to get that bottom left corner way down

I really like this...good job

Nice one. Great contrast. The vignetting also helps.

[QuietOne]

Really nice job. This has such a mournful feel to it.

Very nice AT. The subjects composition, and the wonderful PP, really bring out an emotional response to the viewer. Couldn't have made this any more perfect.

I like it too AT. Your crop, the high contrast and vignette are all spot on. :thumbup:
