I had to do a double-take.. Opinions?

[kbradley88]

I'd like opinions on the curves adjustments made in CS3. Also, what would a better caption for this picture be?

Thanks,

For me, the surrounding parts of the house are distracting. I might try and crop it down even closer to just the windows. Using the pick tool and changing the mode to perspective will help with the perspective when you crop it.
The curves adjustment isnt bad, the faces are still blending in a bit much with the dark background tho. Cool shot all together tho

Thank you. I'll implement your suggestions and see what I can come up with.

Hey, I recognize some of those mannequins! (Or maybe I hang around theatres too much...)

Anyhow, I mostly agree with windrider -- but in particular, I am a big fan of balance, and the fact that some of the windows are cut off (and run off the left edge) is bothersome to me. But, perhaps the best solution to that would just be to crop closer, as mentioned.

[kbradley88]

Good points. I'll keep that in mind. I really like the strange look to the faces looking out the window. Perhaps a shot from further out would look better and not let on that they're mannequins.

While the subject is interesting, the shot is not. There's nothing here to draw me in... the angle is off and you are too far away to make any really impacting statement.

I like the shot, but I would also crop out the bottom section, remove all the green. I'd crop it so all you'd see on the bottom where shingles.
