#ICE ABSTRACTDARKSHAPES
João Pedro Navarro Maranhão PRO

Hello, you all! 

I would appreciate your suggestions and opinions about the 3 images below, ive shooted and edite them thinking in a "dark abstract" collection, the main idea was to let the viewer found the shapes and feelings on image. Some friends of mine said the dark mood of the images reminds a terror or gothic mood, while someothers told me the sweet highlights in mid of the dark scene gave them a good sensation, like there still hope even on shadow and sentences like that.

 

I don't even know if there is technical quality to reach the 1x standards, one of these images has only 8mb. 

Thats it, i would love to know the members and experts thoughts about this! Im not home right now, so im attaching the photos there are on my phone, but there is more on my computer.

 

Camera is a Cannon T7, lens EF-S55-250mm IS II, if you guys need the settings of each image let me know so i will post it here. 

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi and welcome back I like this image the best out of the set you have posted. - I did take it back into Photoshop to try and give it more appeal - Nik Tools Tonal Contrast to help enhance the texture - Some dodge tool work and last Topaz AI Sharpen the noise reduction as the image has quite a lot of noise thank you for sharing...

Hello João

 

Thank you for sharing this collection of images with us. Since Daniel has edited the third one, I have worked on the first one - the second one intrigues me but I'm not sure about the technical quality. With the first one I increased the definition and colour, brightening the image to bring out the details of the dark area on the left.

Good light, Elizabeth

Gosh daniel, wonderful work! You just did what i have in mind when trying to edit that pic, i wanted to hit that black and blue tone and have a bit more sharpiness, thank you very much for the lesson!
