Something different today! The long and winding road...

I will not comment on this one, except saying I don’t do this often anymore…

During times long gone, when I was a photo amateur, this is an approach often used in the dark room!

ABOUT POST PROCESSING

This is like when you sit by the canvas with brush and oil colours, you cannot afterwards tell exactly what you did!

PP work here is done purely on visual feeling, and involves the main functions levels and curves, and the filters artistic grain and USM. Amount and sequence are impossible to tell!

Hi Pablo,
Different but so beautiful. Your B&W treatment with light grain gives a special mood at this one! Excellent composition. Very well done! Annioe

Hello Pablo, this very different BW shot. Nice composition and looks like ink sketch. Well done PP. TFS

Vandana

Excellent compo and POV. I like this b&w approach and the feeling of it. Desolation could be its name. Very interesting.

TFS,

Andreea

Hello Pablo,
I truly like the pp work in this pleasing composition. The curve in the road, the graininess, and the texture are very nice. Slightly different from your typical postings but nonetheless a very good one. Best wishes - Danilo

Hello Pablo,

Well done on the PP, I like the choice of B&W the POV and composure is pot on well done

TFS Kyle

A very artistic effect Pablo. Nice picture.

Regards Mark

Hi Pablo,
the extreme B/W tones are really setting a different mood. You transformed the snowy landscape into a piece of art. The effect is wonderful. What I might also work is using the slight dark line after the second curve as my horizontal.

Hi Pablo...
Interesting B&W photo and point of view, the colour and light are great, and the contrast between...

HI Pablo,
unusual work for you, I'm astonished.
But I like the experiment and it remembers me of some paintings I did several years ago, thanks and greetings

Hi Pablo,

I understand the term "Visual feeling" because I use that a lot when I create digital art. This image is lovely, very artistic and creative. The perspective and composition very good and the visual impact very strong.
TFS,
Vassilis

Superb oldie, Pablo. Excellent work you did on it.

Bonjour Pablo,

Hi Pablo.
wonderful B&W colours and an attractive composition.Great ideas and good combination.Well Done...selamlar

Hello Pablo,

Unusual shot, looks like a BW negative film :)

Malik & Mary.

So.... It's good result. I like the harshy aspect of the pixel. Fine but harshy :) I play a little workshop to play me too with it...
Ho when i said harsh it stay some sharp. But basically as pixel are in just 2 tones... Even black or white... Hey basically have a strong contrast... COhabitation of contrasted point create that aspect :)
BTW you can do something similar by limit the pallet of colors in 2... "B OR W"

nice effect

Pablo, you have an eye for photography for sure...and a feeling/talent for Art. Normally, attempts at this type of processing I DO NOT care for but this....this is very attractive and eye pleasing. Superb composition. I like this Pablo...alot. You've opened my eyes and made me appreciate something I normally would discard. Thanks!
Weird though, cause if I had been able to achieve exactly the same thing(which I doubt I could) I wouldn't like it...would write it off as 'cheap'. But I view this and say wow, this is very nicely done. Good work Pablo and TFS!

Well well well Mr. Pablo, this is really an innovative style of presenting snowy atmosphere. Though a monochrome without greys; but an immense charm of vision is there in this twin tone image. Excellent post, well done.

Thanks you very much for sharing this.

Hi Pablo

An unusual shot from you. Interesting PP work, it makes this look like an abstract painting. Nicely stark in B&W which suits the subject. Great winding road leading the eye in

TFS

Karan

Yes very graphical
But it still breathe your style

Ruud

HI Pablo! I like the pp work that you did! The b/w and the sketch effect. It works well with the winding road.

Take care, Yan :)

Hi Pablo,

Quite different to what I'm used to see. Great creativity & imagination!

Well done

Hi Pablo! This processing has added to a picture of similarity to an engraving. It is pleasant to me. Well done. Natalia

Thanks for your comments on my photo " Just for you! (29)" :o)

Most un Pablo like but a brilliant result. There are some photos which seem to beg to have a different treatment Pablo. Excellnt PP work and a well composed image with curves, repetitions and diagonals. A worthy result and TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘A Belated Birthday...’

Magníficos efectos del B/W.

I urge you to repeat such an artistic and surrelistic experiment, eventhough you're not enclined to do so !
Please !!!

Hi Pablo. Good creative energy here. This is a rare B&W from your gallery. Good variability. TFS. Murray.

PS Do you know the tallest mountain in Norway? Uhu wasn't quite sure.

Hello Pablo,

You nor he needs to count on his process in this picture, only of looking her we can feel the feeling that was passed for her in the work and execution of the same.
it is fantastic, in everything that comes from you, a great artist! Great B&W photo.
Congratulations my friend....

Was it late snow or is it PP? Anyway it's artistic and moving - the last snow of the year that starts the new cicle of life or the ne curve in the road...

Hi Pablo

Good sharpness & perspective, from the receding road, in this superb b&w, with the snow accentuating the graphism. Tfs!

looks more like a charcoal painting.

Hi Pablo!

I love the book "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Warbrobe" written for CS Lewis. My sister read this book for me in my infancy.
I love this composition, it remembers to me the engravings of this old book.


Congratulations,
Chris

Hi Pablo,
I was attracted by the thumbnail, surprised by the photo, and pleased by this interpretation - admiring the B&W, the curves and the dark road...
Fortunately, winter is behind us now !
Bravo,
Cath.

Oi Pablo..what a great shot..different but graet with a love edition also,congrats my friend

Dear Pablo,
I love this picture. The road curve makes it indeed the long and winding road. The sad feeling was generated from the emptynessof the road. The PP itself wassucceessful, I love it.

Nice dotty picture. If you made just dots on paper you could get this!

love the effect, Pablo.. very very different.. beautiful pp work.. its like something we see in exhibition.. :) tfs..

regards, terry
