Great color and symmetry. This is a real eye catcher. Did you photoshop the background out or was it originally a dark color if not black?


John Loreaux   {K:85872} 1/30/2006
Hi Jim, Thanks for the comment! The background was very dark to begin with. ( woods in the background)
I worked with the contrast mostly to darken it even more.Thanks for asking! Take care Jim! My best...........................John


Sunset Man   {K:12287} 1/30/2006
A very good abstract John but perhaps a bit off the bottom to match the border spacing of the top margin and then remove the grain with a jpeg cleanup ... Yes/No?

But I do like it of course or I wouldn't have stopped by ...

Best of Regards!


Shirley Grove   {K:5406} 1/30/2006
Great abstract - striking colours and composition. Well done John


John Loreaux   {K:85872} 1/30/2006
Hi Doug, Thanks for You kind comment! Really appreciate You stopping by!Good suggestion on the cropping! As far as the grain. What You see is the speckled botom of the pool. Take care Douglas!
My best..................John


Sunset Man   {K:12287} 1/30/2006
Thanks for your response John, but it's not really much of a 'diversion' for me living in Hawaii with beautiful 85-Degree Weather today ...

Just thought I would throw that in to make everyone envious ... !))

Aloha & Mahalo from Paradise ... God's Land of 'Coconut Milk & Honey', (my diversion) ... Ha! Ha!


Menno Naber   {K:3567} 1/30/2006

Kathy Hillard   {K:25721} 1/30/2006

Andre Denis   {K:56160} 1/31/2006
Hi John,
Congratulations on the Editor's Choice for this one. A lot of people, myself included tend to go the opposite direction with the saturation. It seems like you have created a beautiful, dreamlike abstract by intentional over saturation in this case? It works well however you did it.


Gregory McLemore   {K:25430} 1/31/2006
Congradulations, beautiful work.


Photobrazil da Silva   {K:945} 1/31/2006
