Dear Hugo,
I noticed your break for sure... hard times at usefilm without the master of comments. no flattering ;-)
As for your rework... it's different than my version ;-)
As for the technical aspects, I like your work. It's a more plain and straight version of my idea, the three planes are better connected.
However, regarding the title... I have to say that your version is not so strong as mine, at least in my opinion ;-) The glow separates the two geometry contestants. that's what I tried to succeed with the glow =)
anyway, I always appreciate reworks. Few people spend time on that - it's kind of a pity, because I really love to think about different ideas. so thanks for your time.
hope to see you more often at UF.
take care,
thilo

Hi Thilo, As you might've noticed, I've been away for a while.... Needed a longer brake, I guess.....;o)
As for this photo, I think you did a very good job in the toning, the composition with the angle and the balance and atmosphere.
Reading your comment, I notice you applied the glow around the skyscrapers deliberately, but I don't quite see why, and that intrigues me.
I think it emphasises the distance between the sky and the buildings, and giving it a feeling that it was pasted in, which, IMO, removes the harmony between the two. I find it rather difficult to explain precicely what I mean, but I do hope you understand what I'm getting at.
I've been trying to picture what the image would look like without the glow, but I couldn't, so I took the liberty of reworking it a bit. Except for maybe a slight blur, the unity between sky and skyscrapers is a bit bigger, but it does affect the atmosphere you created a bit. (So now I see why you did that, maybe not my choice, but it does serve a purpose...;o)
Good shot, and a very creative rework, quite unusual, which makes it as good as it gets!
Cheers,
Hugo

Dear Stefan,
the glow in this case just comes from playing around with middle tone contrast. Not sure how the menu is called in the English PS CS, but in the German one, there is a slider called bolds/lights where you can change just the light parts, the bolder parts and the middle tone contrast.
in other images, I make an additional layer and from a vignetting with a gradient around the objects.

Dear Gayle,
LOL on the guy thing! haven't seen it that way =)
as for the halos: you're not alone in NOT liking them. okay for me ;-) I added them to give a more surreal look.

Dear Pedro,
thanks for the constructive words. As for the photo concept: the differences between the original image and my rework is not so huge as you might think. I didn't change anything on the actual subject, just the colors and the mid tones values are changed.
take care,
thilo

you're right with that. Even in Nuremberg, the architecture is torn between lines and rounds.

Dear Ken,
thanks for the honest feedback. as for the halos: I deliberately opt for them, and yes: they're artifical (as I bring them into the picture) ;-)

quite impressive image my friend ...absolutly great composition and tones ...I just love also the contrast...my only thing about this type of images is that we are crossing the barrier of photo concept..this could be a drawing instead of a photo...but 7 anyway because I really like the result!
regards.

Very good composition and toning. The only thing that maybe doesn't quite work is the halo, it looks a little artificial.

Hi Thilo,
es erinnert mich an zwei Puzzle Teile die gerne zusammengehören würden, aber das wird wohl nicht klappen ;)
Klasse finde ich den Gegensatz von sanften Kurven und strikten Parallelen.
Ungewöhnliche Perspektive unterstützt die Gesamtidee.

The composition is very good and extremely clever Thilo. The buildings really do appear to be opposing each other :-)
You have definitely succeeded with a glow around each of the skyscrapers and the toning is superb.
The angle between them is just great !
Best wishes,
Steve

For me the competion has been won by the whale Thilo. I like his form and lines more than those of the building on the right side of the image. Youv'e got a great eye. Excellent composition with wonderful lines and tones....Best regards, Harry

Beautiful graphic composition with the contrast of curved lines on the left against the straight ones on the right.
The V- shaped, dramatic sky enhances the impression.
Excellent work, Thilo !

This is VERY cool.
Because of what my mind saw on the thumbnail, I opened it to have a complete figure/ground reversal, and saw it as a textured slab of metal in the corner. :)
