[LOMO] Blocked window near the ground

[enc]

Took it on my way home from work.

Okay I like it all except it seems a bit dark overall? not sure how to put it...it seems to me all the lomos I have seen on websites have had some real contrast to it. I mean obvious contrast. That being said i love the pic....would look nice if matted and framed actually. My wife is a manager at an arts and crafts store so I am constantly bombarded with frames and stuff that she gets cheap when it hits 90% off and stuff like that. I actually have a few pictures of different windows of all sorts of styles.
Nice photo.

The colours don't look odd enough! The way Lomo film is often processed (with the "wrong" chemicals), the colours often come out a little strange and I think this picture would be enhanced if the plants were in a slightly different tone.

Take a look at my new Fire and Cross set on Flickr for the kind of thing I mean. With those pictures, I wasn't aiming for a lomo effect but just to compensate for how the projector at our church displays colours given the ambient light during a Sunday morning service; however, the result (in this case, generally some "overlay" layers in white or other colours) shows the kind of effect I am referring to (certainly when viewed on my laptop screen). You can contrast each image with the original, which looked more balanced on my laptop.

yeah I think the contrast and saturation are a bit too close to the normal color of grass which is also a problem cause that can be a wide range of greens.
I tried playing with it a bit and can't get anything that gives it a "odd" (for lack of a better word) look.

this might be a case of overcompensation.....

huh thats weird cos i was just gonna say the grass could be greener, but yeah i think thats a tad the wrong way but defo in the right direction

[xxpinballxx]

its weird though i have been playing with it for over an hour.
anyone with more experience faking the lomo effect want to chime in here.....
seems me and ENC both are trying to get this effect.

I like the reworked one - it may not be quite "lomo" but the green vegetation definitely makes it more eye-catching.

I had a play with the first image you posted, and using the walk-through here, I managed to get it looking like this:
