WONDERFUL.. just a tad more definition to the tack.. but if you are happy with it.. then it's fine.. I'm just looking at HI RES.. and the blur does take over the image (IMHO).. good luck and great job!!!

Really interesting image ... I do agree with Driven on the Tack blur ... but it is only noticeable in High res.

@Drivenslush and arca: Thanks for your input. I've removed quite a bit of blur now, but am trying to establish depth where the balloon and hand are in focus and the tack being so close to the foreground is slightly blurred. I keep thinking realistically both objects wouldn't be in focus and am trying to keep the balloon and hand the center subject. Does that make sense? I hope so.

Great concept, but the entire image is too blurry, except for the balloon, which is so far back, yet crystal sharp. The fuzzy looking hand next to it just compounds the overall incongruity...Also, if the back end is enclosed, where is that light source on it coming from???

Thanks MossyB for your observations. I missed the light thing on the elevator bottom. Thanks. I darkened it. Looks better. I removed all the blurriness of the shot. Looks clearer. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

Fantastic work and amazingly cool perspective...u did really really cool small details as door edges, preservation of graffiti and pin of course...best of luck author

very good........

There are a few masking probs. but overall it's a good final result.
I appreciate your try of making DOF, sorry it didn't work -instead, making some dust would & should have looked really better.

Congratulations! Really fun image!

Congrats PK....another intelligent and well executed piece. Personally, I liked the blur.

Congrats!!

congratulation...

Looks like you put a lot of work in to this one, well done.

Fantastic imagery, author. Love that warp tool! And the flood filter is ultra cool - I 'flooded' my house and sent it to relatives... heehee - faked 'em out! Great chop and sbs - too bad it has to come as a reaction to the actions of lowlife scumbags who apparently have swarmed this site.

water and reflection...great.tears,fabulous...well done

Fantastic use of source. Love the vivid colors.Send me a print.
