Cutout
This picture was taken with a digital SLR, winter semester by the railroad tracks past the temple. To make the cutout I used the quick selection tool and some feathering to smooth the edges. Then cutout was placed on a new white canvas.

Stevie - I really like your original image. Your angle/composition is solid and the way that the sign is leaning adds character. The way that the lighting is captured is wonderful. Very warm but very real. You did a great job with your cut out, from the small thumb print it looks like a rough edge on the pole but once it is enlarged I could see that it was part of the pole! Great job.
ReplyDeleteYour cutout looks really nice. I kind of wish there was more light on the sign for the purposes of the cutout, even though in the original image I love the lighting the way it is.
ReplyDeleteThe original is a great shot! The cutout is great also. It's practically perfect. The lighting is superb and it lends itself to making the cutout that much better. I like how you cropped the image of the sign closer so that it is much more usable.
ReplyDeleteBy the way you explained what you did, you make sound so simple - unfortunately that wasn't the case for me. But I really liked what you did with the signs - it's a great shot all around and the cut out is very clean and precise.
