All the three in this serie looks fantastic and so original! I really love how you composed them and think that they would also work so well as a put together triptych. I think this one is my favourite, because I can feel more depth in it.

Hello Hugo!
Of the three photos from this series this one has the most somber mood to it.I guess its the green that gives Me that feeling but it is still a very striking piece of photography My friend!
An enjoyable series! Thanks!
Congrats on The staff choice on the first photo!
My best always,,,,,,,,JOHN

Hi Hugo,
I like the green color here. It very good to see the creative mind turning something ruing into art, the way you did here. I specialy love the detail of having your name clearly visible. This is really cool my friend.
Congrats,
Be seeing you...
Raamsses.

Hi Emgy, thanks for your comments on this series... Quite a surprise to see so many new comments on my photographs and digigraphs this morining....
The decision to create three different tonal variations on the same theme was made before even photoshopping the first one. Not only to accenture the differences between the three, but also to add a different mood and feel to the images. (and to see how that worked out... )
The choice of tone was done in the spur of the moment, I guess you can say affected by my mood at that time... The red one turned out a bit dark, as the lighting in the room was rather poor, and I was rather frustrated that I couldn't sleep.
Also conserning the red one, there's no blur applied in that image. The blur you see originates from the original shot (posted below the image) and is actually a gradient.
Once again, thank you for your elaborate comments, I always appreciate them alot.
Cheers,
Hugo

Last but not least, dear Hugo
I love it and I think that by this, I've said it all. There is only one thing that makes me curious about this series. Is there a reason behind your choice of colours for the three images?
Hugs - Emgy

Hi Lori, thanks for your comment. I agree it's a very good thing we are all different. Not only because we wouldn't have anything to show, but also because we would abruptly stop our progress....) The first seems to be favoured by most. I think the 2nd appeals to me the most, but I, like you, can't quite put my finger on it.... Weird, isn't it?
KRUIT is a fairly common Dutch name, literally translated as "Spice". Another weird coincidence....)
Cheers,
Hugo

How did this escape me? Here is the final piece of the puzzle! This does remind me of a piece of a jigsaw puzzle! (from the thumbnail anyways)
I just realized something that just blew me away! I saw your name and thought, 'nice touch'...then below, I saw the name 'KRUIT'...this is what blew me away. That was then name of my first husband! A very unusual name in this country, never see it at all. WILD HUH? lol
OK...back to the image. You have completed a very interesting series. I can certainly see you put much thought into this, all of them actually! They are nice Hugo, you do apply yourself a great deal.
I like the whole series, but I think I'm partial to the first one. Don't ask why, just what appeals to the eye, and we are certainly all different. And it's GOOD that we all are different, otherwise we wouldn't have anything to show each other! :)
Nice work, Hugo,
Lori :)

Hi Max, Thanks for your comment. It means a lot to me... I do favour the second one too, but it seems we're a minority here. Most favour number one.

This is one of your best triptych, you joined the power of words and colours in a very creative series (#2 my favourite, but don? ask me why, I don? know) with a great evocative value, I seem to see old documents and sometimes some documents from the future? I hope that there is good news ;) Bye Max

This matters.

Hi Hugo,
Excellent shots!!!! I like very much this one (eventhough the first one is my favorite). Love the way you merged both shots here. It is as if in the previous ones the mergin was taking place, and in this one one past and present are merged as one... Love the green color you gave it and not distracting blur as in the previous one... ;)
About moving to 'genuine'photography, you know that I have the same opinion as you about using tools like PS, but sometimes it's a tool worth to be using, if you are going to create things, like this tryptich of yours... It was really excellent and enjoyable...
Cheers,
Maria

Hi Hugo,
I see you made the patent a bit more recognisable in this image :) In my opinion the blend is a bit less balanced than in the previous images of the triptych (the Sanskrit part deserves a bit more attention I would say). So I still like the second image best! And for its colour I like the first one best :)

I go for the comp of the first one and the color of the second one. But from the standpoint of the PS the third one is the best. You already have my comments on the framing. Good work, Hugo! C.

Hi Hugo,very diffucult...the most subtle treatment is the first one..only my opinion...but the most attractive...the third one.This catched my eyes,though I decide...to not decide between version 2and 3.Too difficult,as your work it that stunning,I get dizzy,reading your description....

Dear Hugo,
strong finish with your series. The color is for sure appealing and attracting. So no objection to this part.
I also like the way you combined the two pieces of "paper" here. the sanskrit part shines through where it makes sense to give a good illusion to the viewer. Two minor things tend to destroy the illusion: the noisy upper left edge, and the bold part on the lower left/right. It's just my personal opinion that the layer composing would be even more convincing if you removed that noise and lightened up these two parts a bit.
A more conceptual question is that the sanskrit parts looks a bit less dominant against the patent part. But that's your choice. ;-)
Stay tuned for your "art of blurry writing"-series ;-)
take care, Thilo

Dear Carmem, Thank you for your elaborate comment. With Genuine Photography I refer to a thread in the forum that started a while ago. In rough lines, it comes down to photography being an image that can be achieved in a dark room using photographic techniques (or it's Digital counterpart) and Digigraphy is generating images electronically. There's no value assessment in this one, only my view on the difference... The tread is:

It is a matter of taste, but every single work is highly appreciated, as this one is the last I put them in this order(to me) or of my preference, the first, second and the third, I think the last image has got more fantasy colour and a bit busy and crowded elements, although it got a very clear letters, but the dark spots to me a very strong as of spoiled by liquid. Conclusion, very original work and elegant artistic touch especially the first and the most creative one, Saeed

Hugo - this project is interesting. I think I like the first one the best. I think it was the simplicity of the first one that makes it stand out for me. The color also suited me more. The reddish one left me a bit flat and that may have had as much to do with overall darkness and lack of contrast. Still in all its good stuff. JB

Hi, Hugo, as I?ve said before, excellent work you did in this triptych. And I don?t what do you mean genuine photography. Is it "clicking and done"?
There?s only one "equipment" able to do it: the human body, receiving light with eyes and processing in brain...Even so, this proccessing is subjective and unique.
When our intention is to share this captured light with other people, we need more help...cameras, softwares... (and hability to manage them).
You did a fantastic work, here. I realize how hard this job was, since the goal was to let us experience what was going on with light processed in a very creative mind: yours.
Congrats!
Your friend and admirer,
Carmem

Regardless how many hours you spent with PS, it was a great job!!
