PESO - Subway Jesus

I was quite surprised at the resemblance to popular images of Him when
I got home and blew it up on the computer screen.  More than
surprised, I was taken aback:

His face (as portrayed in the photo) really reminded me of that image.

PESO - Subway Jesus - Take 2

2011-02-05 Thread frank theriault
Taking Ann's suggestion, I lightened Jesus' face a bit.  Taking
Sasha's suggestion, I recropped - not to take out the partial TTC logo
on the left, but to take out the partial window on the right.  I also
left in the original tilt.  I de-noised the interior as best I could,
and lowered the contrast a bit (so as to get maybe a teensy bit more
detail in Jesus' face).

Here's the new one:

http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2011/02/subway-jesus-take-2.html

Here's the original:

Any thoughts, preferences or strong feelings one way or the other?

To get more detail in Jesus' face lighten just that and bump contrast a 
bit - I think would work...

but it isn't greatly important...

I prefer the original crop as I think the partial window balances the 
TTC logo as they are both
partial and both dark.  


really spooky shot :-)  I like it

I prefer the original. The second version looks as though it's been messed

Agreed, but I've been trying to figure out why this is more unsettling for 
me than I would expect.  It might be because it's both spooky and sad. 
Anyway . . . Cheers, Christine

It's a strong and unsettling image, Christine.  I believe the
technical term is "spooky",

Taking Ann's suggestion, I lightened Jesus' face a bit. Taking
Sasha's suggestion, I recropped - not to take out the partial TTC logo
on the left, but to take out the partial window on the right. I also
left in the original tilt. I de-noised the interior as best I could,
and lowered the contrast a bit (so as to get maybe a teensy bit more
detail in Jesus' face).

Here's the new one:

Here's the original:

Any thoughts, preferences or strong feelings one way or the other?

Thanks.

cheers,
frank

Definitely the ann-remix. Much more concentrated. Rivetting.

Tough call.  The other window makes it seem more like a passing train
than a painting.

Okay, I like the original, too.  The other window makes it look far
less static, more (as Steve says) like a "real train".

Thanks to everyone for your input.  I'm not sure what I'll do with
this, but I'll leave the crop as originally shown but re-render it
like the second one.  Or something like that...

;-)

cheers,
frank
