Cauliflower... brain food

Clever idea! I would lighten up the midtones just a little more - if it didn't wash out the cauliflower detail too much. And maybe removed the clasp hook on the skull. Very cool though.

I gotta give you credit, cauliflower really does look like the chambers of the brain. Pairing the cauliflower with the skull was a good creative move and is a visually interesting photograph. But what makes the composition suffer is that the main subjects appear in dull grey tones that really does not pop off of the black background. There is no dynamic difference in the tones of the skull and the cauliflower from it's backdrop. The color tones are flat when I know that whites of the cauliflower is much brighter that how it appears here in the photograph. I have a feeling that you mayhap did just a straight and simple Desaturation from color to B&W. Problem with the straight desaturation is that most of the time you loose the dynamic color tones. Playing with the levels in the Channel Mixer or Hue/Saturation adustments are just two ways to improve on color tones in B&W. This is a good tutorial that can demonstrate the ways to improve the image //www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=43
This is a good and very creative photo but it just needs more tonal variation in the main subjects to make it pop visually. Accomplish that and this photo moves from average to above average.

Hi Asim - nice capture of details and texture! Did you find this photo was more striking in contrast compared to one done in color? The sunlight really added something here. Great job!
