I like the dark and moody textures. The lack of contrast gives it an old analog feel. The main problem for me on this image is the lack of balance. All the interest is in the right side and I’m not drawn to anything on the left hand side.
I feel the same way. I rather like the colors and the oddly “retro” feel coming from the edit. But it feels very unbalanced. The log in the lower-right pulls the eye but then it’s cut-off in a way that’s unsatisfying.
I wanted to make this image feel sinister and minimalist, but I’ve stared at it for so long at this point that I don’t know if it’s good anymore. The preview is also, obviously, getting compressed horribly. For posterity, here is the full: https://p.drkt.eu/2024/_MG_4984.jpg
I wouldn’t say this feels sinister. IMO, it lacks the context required, but that’s just my feeling on it. Minimalist maybe, feels kinda retro like it’s shot on film without a huge amount of grain. Looks good though.
