| Fantastic shot, thanks for the detail in the Processing as well, never heard of lab colour before and so i had a play with it after seeing this entry. Excellent first entry and a well deserved win! |

really funny you should say that. i took about 30 shots, 29 of which were pretty much what you describe. they were from the opposite angle, light and camera focused on these chinese characters etched on the blade. this shot i took at random, as one of the first shots i took, and then paid it no mind for the rest of the time i was shooting.
it ended up that i didn't like any of those 29 as much as this one. it's weird, my mental picture was totally backwards from what i ended up with.
thanks for the comments! --dr |

Oh, what the heck do I know...I like it but it just don't look normal, which prolly ain't no big deal to most folks. I guess thats why it placed first, It is a great photo.

thanks very much! yeah, that kind of editing technique i really favor often. i find that for a lot of my images, i need them to look good in b&w before i'm satisfied with how they look in color. and lab is such a weird and wonderful colorspace to work in.
cheers,
