Galleries: Floral
Date Uploaded: Jul 2, 2006

 last-day-entry. wanted to do something minimalistic. picked 2 petals off the rose (? did look like a rose, but never seen one with an inside like this) and twisted the petals that were left a bit to the bottom. I lit the flower from the back, with a softbox. shot towards the ground, where I placed a piece of white paper.

editing steps:
Levels - eraser - art history brush - brightness/contrast - desat reds a little bit to get that old-pink color - USM

How I wish this entry could've been 720px wide...
It feels like the flower isn't straight, but everytime I try to rotate it in Photoshop, at every amount of degrees, it doesn't seem straight. Oh well.

The ballerina is beautiful. I didn't get to vote on this one but it would have scored high from me.

It certainly fits the title, as it appears to be dancing.

I like the artistic approach nicely done the background looks a bit stark

The title suits this image perfectly. I love the simplicity of this shot; the composition and the pops of color work so well. This is one of my favorites of the challenge!

The back ground does not do this image justice, did you try black.
