Ultraviolet Rays

beautiful tones and composition. Love the contrast of calming blues against the painfully sharp thorns.

Certainly different. I like the light and shaddow.

Comments and ratings appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Hello Vicki:

I trust the locale"Ragged Point"is mere coincidence. In any event, your concept, composition and coloration are, as usual, flawless. A couple of Photoshop possibilities come to mind. Somehow, I see this image as more about sharp, jagged edges than ultra violet rays. So, I would be tempted "whiten" the jagged teeth along the left edge so that they contrast more with background to give the image more "bite."

 

But if "Rays" are the theme, perhaps you could underscore the theme by masking the individual leaves and giving each a separate tonal identity. The way the light is now, the "rays" tend to blend into each other, which I think diminishes the thematic impact.

 

Hope this makes sense. It's inspiring to see your work developing so beautifuly.

It took me a sec to figure it out. very nice I've tried to do something similar but it's great to see it was done so well by someone else
