1. I did a few edits on this tree. I used an action to sharpen it and then I played around with the burn and dodge tools to get the sky bluer and the dark ground brighter.
2. For the stairs I warmed up the colors with an action and then burned the edges.
3. I used an action called "rusty cage action," and I thought it added a cool effect.
4. I didn't really need to edit this, but i sharpened it a little and warmed it up.
5. I slightly made it brighter and then sharpened it.
6. I sharpened this.
7. For this I just sharpened and burned it.

  2. I really like the sky and the composition of the first picture. The stairs and the edits are really awesome. The subject matter and the angles are really good, I like the diversity of the subjects you photographed.

  4. Michael, your shots turned out good. Really good. I'm quite impressed actually :) I was going to start talking about some of my favorites, and then I realized that almost all of them are my favorites. Your edits on the tree look great--the trunk of the tree almost looks like it's glowing and that pic has a really nice, almost surreal feel to it. The stairs turned out pretty cool and your subtle burned border adds a nice effect. I am loving your close-ups of "You and the Law" (I'm pretty sure that one is my very favorite with that clean fade into black...who knew that book would actually come in handy;), the guitar, and the cologne, what great clean shots. Wonderful job, cutie.

  5. I know you already have four comments but I really like your shots! They are each so different but they really work well together. I love all of them but my favorites are the dangerous because of the angle, the light fixture because of the glow, and the "You and the Law" because of the fantastic lighting. Well done!
