Magnifique série, je ne m'en lasse pas ! Bien entendu, techniquement c'est imparable, mais en plus, sous des dehors de travail d'architecte, c'est très artisitique, plein de poesie, il y a une vraie atmosphère. C'est d'ailleurs ce qui rend tes images si paticulières pour moi : elles vivent.
Vraiment superbe !

Enrico,
Those are brilliant as usual, but... One thing I've always enjoyed about your work is the 'rawness' which translates into a kind of honesty of the image if you will - like photography is at it's best. It has a lot to do with how you particularly use light but also how you use materials. I've always admired that. But to me some of these images have too much bloom. It's like they don't have that same punchy quality as some of your other work. So - just before I get burned at the stake - I love the images (specially the 'trees' one). It's just that, for work coming from you, they just seem a little 'posted' in my view.
I presume the softness/bloom is post-pro but I'd love to love to see the original renders (even just one) to compare how much post you needed to do to address the DL 'flatness' you refer to.

Thanks to everyone, much appreciated.
I just added 6 new images which close this series
Seekerfinder : Yep, much more bloom here indeed, and I used the Octane postpro for that. I wanted to get something much more homogenous, much smooth to create a more artistic result. The postproduction is mainly in the mix of SUN and HDR of course but also in the light correction, I emphased some regions to accentuate light or contrast, from this point of vue, this was a bigger work than usual.

Wow. I was sure bloom was in third party app.enricocerica wrote:Yep, much more bloom here indeed, and I used the Octane postpro for that.
I love the last image. Your detail like the water in the vase is brilliant.
