I don’t like to complain, but “UGH!” is all I can think to say when I saw my photo in the newspaper this morning.
If you recall, I posted this sunset in an entry not too long ago. I then sent it to The Record for the Photo of the Day.
Ok, ok… I’ll admit that my original is a bit dark, but I think they went overboard with the levels.
*sigh* I’m happy I was published again! :-)
What do you think?
*the photo will only appear on the Record’s website today, and then you have to click on the archives to see it later. :-)
Personally I like the original better! The second one seems washed out…faded…
Whoo hoo for a great photo either way! It’s beautiful, but you’re right, I like the orig. better.
nice work,n i personally think that original pic is nicer…
I agree, definitely prefer the original too. Just makes the orange colours of the sunset stand out and look more dramatic.
The original by far. Much more dramatic and compelling!
Thank you for all your lovely comments! :-)
The original is the better of the two, but could benefit even more by backing off on the vignetting just a little bit.
I think the original is far better, but I’ve heard from newspaper folk that ‘blacks’ don’t print well on newsprint… So they lighten all the photos to remove the deep blacks to make them look their best.
