About Total fluke shot. I was going for a self-portrait in a simple brown glass sphere, but the camera picked up way more colour than my own eyes perceived.

Hello stranger... vivid colours and interesting lines... almost too busy yet it all works so well together. What's the background? A simple black bg might have made the sphere have more impact.
Welcome to usefilm and can't wait to see more!

Very neat..I Love the colors.I think a black background would make this one very mystical.
Good work, I look forward to seeing more.

I agree with both Kim and Scott about using a dark background (dark green velvet, maybe?) or photoshopping it (Stalin-izing it, a friend calls it - removing the unwanted elements), and I'm also in agreement with them about the colours. This is really lovely. If you're aiming to take non-boring photos, you certainly are achieving your goal!

Very good work. Let's see more!

Thanks for the encouraging comments. :)

I took this photo while on a garden tour. The background is a plethora of purple petunias. I didn't think of covering them at the time, but now I'll be more mindful of my backgrounds.

Here's a quick and dirty PhotoShop fix. It's a much different feeling!

Personally I prefer it with the background as it was originally. What do I know....


Becky V   {K:9699} 9/13/2002
Yvon, I like the original better as well. Maybe I don't know anything either! :-P *lol*

Looks like an eye - the swirl at the bottom is really cool. Of course the background should stay in!

nice! funny how the camera sometimes gets... luck is the best technique in life!
I prefer the original

Under impression of the movie "Sphere",or..? :)
However,it's interesting work.
I agree with others about black background.
Regards
