To Much Abstraction

[tromboads]

So I had this idea to get this shot of a couple walking out of frame set against a lush green background. I was struck by their intimacy from seeing them earlier, and imaged myself capturing some ideal shot. Turns out I was peddling deep into the land of cliche here It didn't really work. The couple are just far to small in the image for it to make any real sense, the relationship is non existent, it looks lonely. But then I bumped the contrast tab. All of a sudden like a negative, I saw some instance of the relationship I had imagined.



The couple are right of frame with this "energy" for lack of a better description trailing behind them as if it was lighting up the areas they had traveled from. Somehow radiating this feeling I observed from then but failed to understand or articulate in a traditional coloured image.The question naturally tho is, does this now bunch of pixels give any hint of what I managed to project on to it?

A perhaps calmer version, (metaphysically speaking) is this image here,



It points nothing to this emotional element I'm faping on about earlier but I found the texture created by the shadows in the grass interesting enough, along with enough form to describe some sort of travel the couple has been on or covered.

It all kind of reminds me of some charcoal drawings, and I like that, But does anyone else.......

If you hadn't mentioned that there were people I would have missed them altogether.

I Think #2 does work a little better in the "relationship portrayal". I wonder if they would work as a print, to see if what you have created on the monitor works as a B&W print? I don't mind a bit of creativity,what did the original look like.

Yeah I think I'm having myself on a bit here The ppl are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to small.. orig looks like this..



Actually went and printed them at 8x6 this afternoon, and yes the first image makes no sense.
