Challenge: Blue II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ20
Location: Porirua, Wellington, NZ
Date: Jan 26, 2006
Aperture: f8.0
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/125

 I spent half an hour shooting a cloudless sky above a blue building then a blue sky, a blue car and a blue building and was just walking back when I walked past this car in front of this building and took 3 shots.

Almost totally unedited. One of those captures that looked right in the camera and turned out very well on the computer.

Post production is rotate, crop out just the rotate edges, Neat Image, convert to web colours, Neat Image again.

I am worried about he jagged edge on the bottom of the mirror but it was there before any editing. Its there on the full sized image on my monitor. So I didn't sharpen any more but the voters will hammer me anyway.

This is very nicely composed. I can see little jagged lines along teh top of the car, though. Not sure if this is an artifact of sharpening or not.

Nice photo, love the angles and the constrasts in the blues... Like the reflections both in the mirror and on the shiny paintwork of the mirror. Well done...

Interesting composition, but it has no soul.

Yeah, great composition on this one - I like that you kept it simple and the eye bounces between the metalic textures on the car and the flat finish of the paint on the walls. Interesting.

Nice job with the interacting colours, maybe if you could have gotten the mirror to be blue as well it would be fantastic.

I like the lines here. Very clean and smooth.

This is a great blue shot ... and it doesn't look dicked with.
