SWING MUSIC

[FUJI]

A couple of Sundays ago a band was entertaining  local park-goers.........many, as you can see....were totally absorbed in one kind of Swing....whereas the Musician is absorbed by another kind:

Nice juxtaposition, and the processing gives it a slightly unique look.

Fuji, would it be really rude of me to ask if we can see the original.......

[Heather]

like the image, not sure about the processing for me 

[Korky]

I'm going to be honest with you here, Fooj. Honest and forthright. Honest and forthright and downright bloody critical. Here goes.

 

I just love the image and the title is so clever that I wished I'd thought of it. But...

 

That there processing gives me the screaming willies. When I first saw it I ran into the kitchen for a drink of water and then crept back slowly to the computer bracing myself all the while. Have you been at the Buck's Fizz again or what? I'm going to put this down to a temporary blip in the Foojmeister's cycle of creativity.

 

Seriously, though - it didn't do it for me.

Thanks Korky.....I really do appreciate your whacky style of comment and crit.....it's almost worth posting a cra**y shot just to get a reply from you like that......you ave made my day.....Im still laughing.

Explanation.......the original colour RAW shot was one if a whole series of the Band in the Park on a recent Sunday afternoon......all seemed fine until I realised that each one was spoilt by the intrusive and impossible to miss fussy BG of kids and parents at play.

So I decided to have a ......FAFF ....around, which obviously didn't twang your braces......I will post the original as requested by another, then have another go at rescuing it using all the tools to hand.....perhaps others might like to have a go too?

I will get round to it later.

I'm so glad you took my comments in the spirit in which they were intended. I look forward to your re-edit once you've sobered up!

I kinda like it.....  if the big guy blowing looked as much like a drawing as the background people do I think it would be better?

[FUJI]

Right folks.....it's your turn.......Here is the original.......the one I made a mess of in processing:

 

The challenge is....for you to do something without losing the theme of ...SWING:

 

The ball is now in your court:

I like the new one better and think cropping the top and bottom a little would work a lot better.

I like the reflections in the top one. They stand out more.

I could see this a CD cover.
The coloured one is nice too.
It depends on whether you want it to be realistic or more artistic.
