GOOD PHOTO....LOVE IT!!! But with "Admiration" why do you say "the original was done better"??? This one and the original are the same...I think...except that I took out the "shadow" in the left side photo. No? boland7214@aol.com
The sloppy handling of materials by early photographers (I'm sure, even though this was done in Mathew Brady's "studio", he depended upon a lot of assistants who did all the grunt "collodion process" work) you get a lot of defects to retouch. Fortunately with an image pair, most defects ca be cloned from non-defect areas in the opposite view!
Good photo....except it might be a little bit more interesting with someone pretending to be ...say..."a dead body"...laying on the tracks....maybe next time perhaps??? But other than that it's great!!! :o)
OK....THE ABOVE TALKED ME OUT A RIDIN THAT CRITTER....I'LL STICK WITH "OLD BETSY"....SHE'S MY TYPE OF PERFECT HORSE......SHE CAN'T TROT OR GALLOP...BUT CAN SHE WALK....WOW...!!!
MAYBE THE SUBJECT IS BORING...TO SOME PEOPLE...BUT THE TECHNIQUE AND 3D IS STUNNING. NOW, IF WE ALL COULD COMBINE BOTH "AN INTERESTING SUBJECT"....AND 3D.....THAT WOULD BE IDEAL. BUT, OF COURSE, WE DON'T LIVE IN AN "IDEAL WORLD"...SO I'M SATISFIED WITH THE PHOTO AS IT IS...BASICALLY A GOOD PHOTO.!!!
