Absolutely purrfect!

Eight playful little cuties I found in a street of Lisbon, Portugal.

(If you wish, you can view 2 details at this link )

Note: Many people tell me that, like in some of my other pics,
this image looks like a "pencil drawing". It is a photo, though.
The truth is that I always spend some time to edit my photos
to get a nice balance of details and different gray tones... It's
just more work for better results.

Prints of the above artwork now available!


Also purchase a bigger jpg version to have it as a wallpaper.

Honestly I don't think at this point of manipulation you still could call it a "Photography". I think it should at least goes under "Photomanipulation". I say that because I think that taking photos it's a little different, it's more about the befores than the afters of taking a "click". It's really nice and smooth, though.

BenHeine In reply to Shadecrow [2012-10-30 22:52:26 +0000 UTC]

may be but I think I wouldn't have made this if I hadn't taken the photo, the photo part is as important than the editing

API-Beast In reply to Shadecrow [2012-10-30 19:33:25 +0000 UTC]

Photomanipulation is manipulating images to create a new image with new content. This however is just changing the colors of the original image without changing it's content.

BenHeine In reply to API-Beast [2012-10-30 22:52:48 +0000 UTC]

Shadecrow In reply to API-Beast [2012-10-30 21:14:40 +0000 UTC]

I understand your point. Actually, I admit that mine could be seen as a 'straight-edge' position, but this is what:
Photography it's supposed to be a picture of the reality, and when what you're facing in an image doesn't resemble reality that much, or even when it resembles it too much, well, it's more manipulating than taking photos. It's still worthy, obviously, but taking pictures it's something else.
Moreover, if I've understand it well, he did make some changes.
But you know, I also think that HDR photos aren't 'real' photos so, if you don't agree with me, i can accept it.
