About Another view of the same gooseberry skeleton. Perhaps the most abstract to date - I came closer and used the widest f-stop possible to really blend the object with the reflective background. The colours were produced by the sunlight's reflection(shooting into the setting sun - low angle)from reflective gift wrapping. Minimal enhancement of contrast and brightness in PS, no cropping.

Nice work. Keep it up.

Each of your presentations seems to get better and more fantastical, Joggie! As you say, the fusion with the background is perfected! I am not sure by "widest f-stop," do you mean f/22?

Joggie van Staden   {K:40267} 11/24/2007
Hi Eb - Sorry about that miscommunication (wars have been fought due to misunderstandings!). I meant the biggest physical aperture or smallest f-stop - f2.8
Take care!
Joggie

This is wonderful work Dear Joggie!

Truly a piece of art, which makes me feel very peaceful. I am popping it into my favourites :)

Best Wishes to you!
Aniko :)

A wonder!
This is my favorite in the series. I love the rainbow effect and the color tones, as well as the detail in focus.
Best,
Minoo


Eb Mueller   {K:22087} 11/25/2007
Yes, the famous "aperture" wars! The reason I asked was because the dof field seemed greater than f/2.8.

Very good technique, Joggie and your result was a very good blending. Where the colors are at the gooseberry, you make it look like the colors are an actual part of it. Anyway, the colors sure do show off the skeleton.

Best wishes,
Dave

This is best possible usage of the available light and subject for creating an abstract that still is a depiction of someting in nature. Especially the tremendous coloring adds something quite unreal - between a microscopy image and an image under the sea. I find the almost diagonal concept very well fitting here since it balances so well between the sharp details and the more fuzzy background very well.

Cheers,

Nick
