Challenge: Shadows (Classic Editing)
Camera: Olympus C-2100UZ

Aperture: f/8

Shutter: 1/800

I experimented with different lighting, angles, and backdrops. I liked this one because of the patterns, the almost hexagonal shape of the background light, and the balanced framing. Unfortunately, there were some blown out highlights that became somewhat exaggerated after resizing, sigh.

cool shadows. a couple of things detract from this photo, though. i think the flowers have been sharpened too much. and the dark part at the bottom is very grainy. also, there are a couple of artifacts at the top of the shot that take away from the pure black background. overall, a good concept and a decent shot.

Cool lighting, nice contrasts.

Wow! Cool!

I like the overall look. I wish the brightest highlights had not lost detail.

Only complaint is the overexposed area in the whites

Very neat photo... one I keep coming back to. Really like the colors. Well composed, very crisp, though the flowers themselves are a bit overexposed. All in all very well done!

very nice!

I love the white/blue/black color scheme and the funky shadows. The bit of light flare(?) at the top is the only thing I'd change.
06/18/2002 09:44:00 PM
Nice contrast of light and dark.
06/18/2002 06:19:00 PM
This is definitely a nice effect... I like the shadow shots this week that incorporated color into the shadows in some way... very nice!

I really like the colors--it looks like it is over sharpened though.A little softer and it would rank higher.
06/18/2002 03:13:00 PM
Nice contrast between light and shade :-)

Nicely subtle - are you using a pro studio? (intended as a compliment) The flowers might be a little overly busy, but wow, otherwise great job!

Good exposure, and nice night shadow shot.
06/18/2002 09:00:00 AM
simply stunning, well done
06/18/2002 06:45:00 AM
Awseome lighting and shadows... The way the plant stands out so brightly from the darkness is just great. Really great setup and photo!

Very pretty. I know it's difficult, but some of the branches are burned out a bit. I've been having trouble also getting acceptable sharpness with highly detailed subjects like yours after I've compressed them for the competition. Finall I had to use my back-up photo.
06/17/2002 05:55:00 PM
nice lighting effect
06/17/2002 02:52:00 PM
Interesting Creative- Just curious - would that be a blue rug? -
06/17/2002 01:49:00 PM
Very nice. very creative to use a different color to display the shadows rather than white as many other posts.
06/17/2002 01:17:00 PM
the color combinations are not pleasing.
06/17/2002 11:02:00 AM
I love this. Great lighting, colors, texture...
06/17/2002 01:08:00 AM
Very good!
