Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Mundane (Advanced Editing I)
Camera: Canon PowerShot G3
Location: Don't tell ya', you have to guess :)
Date: Feb 22, 2004
Aperture: 8.00
ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/640
Galleries: Action, Water
Date Uploaded: Feb 22, 2004

Ok, OK, it's another water shot.
But honestly, nothing about the water was specially set up. That's how it looks in the bowle.
I have cleaned it before making the pictures though ;)

As usual, I used my external flash and bounced it towards a white posterboard. I also used the internal ND-filter of the G3.

Postprocessing:
Neatimage,
Hue adjustment (desaturation of all colours beside red and blue, because we have a brownish bowle)
Level adjustment,
Cropping,
spotediting some imperfections (dropplets etc.) on the bowle away
resizing,
smart sharpening,
border addition

Very clear and sharp picture. Composition is very interesting. The desaturation effect really makes the subject pop out of the shot. Love the crisp highlights in the water. It gives a great dynamic feeling of the swirling water. Contrast and brightness is perfect. "10"

I like the colors, the red and blue stand out from the rest of the photo very well. The way you stopped the water is nice, did you use the flash for that? I also like the composition, looks like you paid attention to detail with this photo. Great job.

Very interesting shot, nice color treatment. I like how the water flows and the overall composition.

Very cool. Great capture of the water. I think it would be better if you could have captured some of the blue and red running in the water also. Nice work!

Very crisp, very nice lines, effective colours. I'm sorry to say that the subject matter is not appealling, but you redeem yourself with a wonderful photo. 9

Very nice, clean capture (pun intended!). Creative idea too with good composition and a smooth result. One of my favourites so far.

What a great shot for Mundane. Clarity and focus are second to none, and selective saturation works very well. Great job 10.

Nice use of color and contrast. Good shot!

What a fantastic image. colours and the sharpness of details are superb. I have absolutely nothing constructive to say as i can't see how it might be improved. Inspiring. I'm going to take a picture of my toilet right now! 10!

I`ve noticed that a lot of voters don`t like the selective saturation effect...but here`s one that does and I like the clarity of the shot as well....9

I laughed when I saw this one. What a great idea for this challenge. I really like the high speed capture of the toilet bowl flushing and the colour balance. Good luck!

I like the color/no color thing, it's very effective here, particularly with the nice contrasty detail and the glistening stopped water.

I really like the clarity of the photo! And the flow of the water is AWESOME! Great shot!
