I've now decided to archive my future renderings as TIFs (the original
of this is 1024x768) and post JPGs to the newsgroups @ about 150k
each.

With TIFs you can save the color profile, but I've decided not to do
this for the mo - unless someone can advise me otherwise.

I seem to remember from my Amiga days that TIF was the prefered format for
technical reason, but I suppose that the things which were issues back then
probably aren't issues today and visa versa.

What a ... disturbing scene!  Is that a hole in the guy's
chest?  The lighting and setup are done quite well, though.
What antialias settings are you using?

A friend of my Dad's probably still feels like that. Poor guy, fell off a
boat dock and cracked some ribs, had a collapsed lung (the doctors figured
out many hours later) and he's going to be hospitalized awhile. He was at my
parent's place at the lake for Labor Day holiday and was going out to the
boat with two tackle boxes and three fishing poles at 7 a.m. To get out to
the boat he was going fishing in he had to step over a large gap between the
boat house and older dock attached to it, then over a small boat set up onto
the dock too. It was wet from morning dew and he tumbled backward into that
gap into the water, hitting his head on rails on the way down and one leg
going between the connecting bars. He's 73 years old. From the story I
overheard, told over and over to other friends of theirs, this rendering is
extremely befitting of the accident. Luckily he's a resilient guy and should
be out of danger in a day or two.
I can't think of anything else about this picture except that, sorry.

Why be sorry? It's purely for you to feel what you feel about what you
see.

Well, I hate to not express opinion or criticism when I have the chance ;-)

Looking again, now I notice how centralized the figure is. In art and
photography that can be a bad thing, idea would be to have the extended arm
or bent back head pointing into a central part of the picture I guess, which
would mean to place the whole body off to the lower-right. It's that rule of
thirds thing. I don't tend to try that a lot myself, I usually concentrate
on a particular thing and frame in around it. Actually this rendering kind
of focuses at a little upper-left, but otherwise appears balanced centrally,
as seen by me anyway.

If I were to make an observation about the idea this picture shows it would
be a suspension between life and death. I haven't figured out the title yet,
between future positions perhaps? :-)

While that's one possibility, there are just too many others. I tend
not to worry about moving the viewer's eyeballs about the scene since
Nature doesn't tend to worry about it either.

As for centrality being so-called "bad", I'm wary of any form of
doctrine or dogma that says such is such. I've gone on record stating
that symmetry is wrong, and then have illustrated its wonders vividly.

Yeah, I think we should be able to walk away from tried methods.

Mmm, upper-left but central! Sorry, just a gentle leg-pull.

Yup, between life and the afterlife - for after all, why would such a
structure be required if there was just the Void?

The title is 'transpose' and 'future' and even 'pose' - it's possibly
an overly-allusive fudge.
