Red Preserves

No particular questions... just a waddaya think request. Thanks for

looking.

This one is great, David! Clean background, good lines, interesting object. Really, really nice.

Very fine work, David. I agree with Rachel's critigue. Warm regards, Joe

Thank you both very much! Warm regards, David

David, I think this works really well too - but for some reason I keep seeing organs! One thing I would add is that perhaps this is an image that would benefit from a saturation boost to really bring out the red. I took the liberty of doing this and came out with the attached.... i've upset the background colour in doing so though!

I like the more intense red you've done, and at least on this small image I'm not seeing a lot of change in the background. I thought of bumping the saturation and didn't for who-knows-what-reason. I may try tinkering a bit more with this one and see if I can bring out the red without changing the rest. Thanks very much for taking the time to look, comment and to work on this image!

Doc, you've got some 'splainin to do.

 

Perhaps a few hours on the couch are in order?

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." - Sigmund Freud

;-)

But Freud's cigars were definitely pe.....p......not cigars!!!!

That's because Siggy was quite sexually preoccupied, and much of his work on infantile and juvenile sexuality has been discarded. That said, his writings have left an incredibly strong impression on us. Sometimes I wonder if we'd see sexual references in images the same if not for what Freud said...?

I think Siggy had the guts to point out what most of us are too afraid to admit, even to ourselves.

 

Of course, Siggy can't hold a candle to Horney when it comes to understanding "human nature," but....

 

 

(Lordy, am I a stinker or what??)

This isn't off topic, is it ;)

 

How would you like to have a name like Horney?! Do you think it would limit your career options???

LOL...we need to discuss the history of the profession.
