the colors are striking. did you do something special in post processing to get these tones?
nune (57 months ago | reply)
Very cool scene, textures and tones!
KaptainKaveman (57 months ago | reply)
It's very nice! I like how there's an extra wall at the top right anding next to the hydrant (or old gasline?). Symetry without "perfect" symetry.
Perfect.

Wow. Really nice colors, contrast and composition. The hydrant looks like a king on his throne, yet a little lost.

Dean Forbes: thank you dean! no special techniques used in post processing, only adjusting contrast, light, white balance and saturation in ps lightroom.
CaptCaveman: i think it is a water hydrant for fire-fighting. thx!!
Shot by Scott: who the fcuk is udo? :-D LOL
kwerfeldein: danke!! ich auch nicht, wirklich. um so überraschter war ich selber, als ich etwas mit den lightroom reglern gespielt habe.
andersdenkend: yeaaah, king hydrant!!! new title!! thx ;-)
THX to all of you for your nice comments!!!!
btw., i have postet a different view and crop at my blog:
how do you like the other version of king hydrant?
love this title!! thx andersdenkend :)
m-arx (57 months ago | reply)
hi,
i like the "blog-version" better, for being less cropped- it has more content, the "walk up the throne" seems longer, as there's more steps. the hydrant itself looks far more distant.

m-arx:thx for your comment. it was hard to decide which one i upload here, because i do not want to upload them both. i like them both very much and i totally agree with your words. in the background of this is "king hydrant" the other version makes more sense because of the distance to the king. but this king idea came after i uploaded it so i decided to post the other one on my blog. thanks again!!
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMMENTS AND FAVS!!!

THX TO ALL!!!
vera_bing: leider nicht mir eingefallen, aber sehr gut, ja!!
c.zwerg: ich erwähnte es ja schon, leider kam die idee mit dem king hydrant erst nach dem upload und leider auch nicht mir, sonst wäre es vielleicht anders rum gelaufen. danke!!

schönes bild, schöne kontratse vor allem.
nur die rechte bildseite stört mich etwas
pfn.photo (56 months ago | reply)
Wow, krasses Bild. Sehr schöner Farbkontrast, perfekt harmonierend, das kühle grau-blau und das edle rot. Der Kontrast und die Struktur in den Wänden wirkt sehr genial. Insgesamt eine sehr beeindruckende Komposition. Die Variante in deinem Blog gefällt mir nicht so gut, da wirkt das Bild ziemlich matschig.

Wow. ja, wow. Das kann man hier mehrfach sagen. Wirklich tolles Bild!

I love the tones and contrast here. I will admit i much prefer the blogged version, especially with the title (which is awesome.) The slightly muted colors work nicely here.
