Photography as Art Work the photographer believes might command artistic value beyond their own circle. As usual in OPF, these submissions merit critique based on intent, context and purpose. This might cover technique, composition and the like. To go out in the world, however, far more might be expected, even for things of beauty or great craft. Art criticism is harder. It requires knowledge of the arts, literature, history and esthetics. Criticism comes from study of the photograph and related works. It's an assessment of how this work might stand our culture. As Dante warned: "Abandon hope all ye who enter here!

Default Color changes

I am not sure what you call what I have done with color and sharpening but I really like this effect. I know that I blew out the highlights. When I took the shot, I thought I'd crop in or edit it out. I've done this with a few of my images. I am probably going to fine art print some of these. This is an old rust bucket of a ship in the port of Katakalon in Greece. The original was sort of grey and rust and the right was a bit of different green.

I like what you have done, Kathy. It looks like your journey helped you move your vision to a new level. I like the effect. I'd wonder what you migfht consider doing with the sky?

Would it be kosher for you to steal from one of your other pictures?

Or else a bird and/ sky?
