 Another expiremental photo, this time using the threshold feature in PhotoStudio. Took a regular picture of two baby Tanqueray vodka bottles on a black background with lighting coming from the lower right. In Photo Studio I changed the photo to it's negative, converted the image to black and white then adjusted the threshold to 170(?).

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Yoshio...

The symmetry in your photos is good for this challenge. Subjectively, I believe that you chose good items to work with also. Simplicity is one of the finer elements of making great photographs in my humble opinion. When a composition is simple, it contains less elements that could be considered distracting and it allows you to create images that are more eye catching than your ordinary snapshots.

I am not a good person to critique this particular image. My personal tastes in photography are more traditional. In most cases, when I see photos that are post processed to this point, I usually just pass them by and don't give them much time. The post processing here goes beyond the realm of photography and enters the 'digital art' category for me. Keep in mind... this is just my personal preference and not that of many others.

Keep up the good work :)

I love the high contrast. Unfortunately the photo is a bit too small.

I like the contrasty look here, though I imagine some won't. I think your communication of symmetry is unique and shows a lot of style.

I have to like a photographer that selects "Tanqueray" for a subject. That shows good taste!

Beautifully conceived and well executed image.
