Mystic Moods
Went slogging around the Salt Lake today and here's what was captured.

#1 Could have gone B&W here, but I like the subtle tones winter can bring.

C&C welcome and thanks for taking a look.

#4 A little photo art here. Pretty much desaturated everything but the red nd tried to give a twinge of a sepia-like tone.

Thanks for looking and C&C if you want.

Oh man, you went 4 for 4 on these, Jeff. They're all incredible.

Photography as art. Like Todd said, every one of these is brilliant.The natural vignettes in the first three work so well, and that last one is damned near perfect. I hope you have big plans for these graceful images, Jeff. Thanks a bunch for sharing them here with us!

#2 and #4 for me.

These are all gorgeous and the first three would make a nice set or a fine tryptic. #4 is amazing and it looks very natural with the desaturation.

A great set! I especially like #2 with all the leading lines in the foreground.

Nice set of images Jeff. #2 and #4 are my favorites. Lots of good mood in these. :smile:

I really like the muted tones in these. They're all strong, but #2 stands out to me too.

REALLY nice series Jeff ... 1-3. Strong enough to stand on their own, but a fine series as well.

#4 is super nice. Great technique. Small nit - crop the dark spot out on the bottom.

All nice but #4 is really awesome.

I agree with Todd, these are all pretty sweet. I keep going back to #2, it keeps drawing me in...
Posted by Paul Wegemann on January 18, 2011 at 8:53 AM
The 1 through 3 series is really sweet, with 2 being my favorite. #4 is beautiful. I do agree with Jesse about the dark spot though. Nice work all around.

I really love them all, but my fav is #4 and #1
Posted by Jeremy Kessler on January 18, 2011 at 9:28 PM
These are all fantastic, can't pick a favorite. :toast:

Interesting set. I totally love #4. the first three are cool, just a bit too depressing for me in my current mood. :smile:
Posted by Doug Koepsel on January 19, 2011 at 4:22 PM
I like #4 in how you have made the red stand out.
