jon_fernquest 0 Posted August 15, 2003 Looks like a Calder mobile (maybe because it's so dark on my internet cafe monitor). I really love this effect. Wish my monitor allowed me to see more the grain of the wood. Lovely. Link to comment
root 0 Posted August 15, 2003 I tried to increase the contrast without losing the detail in the darkest areas. It could be your monitor, but PN compression is certainly part of it. Link to comment
n_p 0 Posted August 17, 2003 I can see detail in the darkest parts, but only just. My impression is that you went as far as you could, without overdoing both the color and contrast adjustment. There is a noticeable difference in the color of the yellow flakes at the top, but the overall impact of the composition is not harmed by this.Not meaning to be rude, it was requested that I change my name and I complied.

root 0 Posted August 17, 2003 That doesn't make it unoriginal or poorly executed. Do you like other found abstracts? I'd like to see them. Link to comment
billangel 9,671 Posted August 19, 2003 Elegant and subtle abstract design. In my opinion a print of this image hanging on a wall would make an effective addition to the decor of a home or office funished with a classical Japanese motif. Link to comment
salvatore.mele 1 Posted June 30, 2004 This is a truly powerful composition for me, the pattern 2:1 of the paint and the strong colour contrast makes it really work. I commend you for having taken the time to put it together. Link to comment

root 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Thanks. Since posting this, several friends have suggested that it would look better upside down. Short story . . . This is, of course, a macro shot . . the kind you wouldn't expect another photographer to find, yet it happened. . . . maybe because there's another group of chips right next to this one that looks like Homer Simpson. (well, he thinks so.:-)) Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted July 19, 2004 It DOES look like some type of oriental calligraphy! The Yellow really pops out. I LOVE found abstracts, myself! Link to comment
mg 0 Posted October 1, 2006 I like this one a lot too, but perhaps just a bit less than the other two... Not sure whether the color cast added was really necessary, but it doesn't detract either, I think. What I'd personally regret here, is to have lost much of the details in the wood... I don't think you had to go this dark... I'd be interested seeing a version with a little more details in the dark areas. Cheers. Link to comment
panyitu 0 Posted October 3, 2006 I have to disagree with Marc, I find the high contrast essential for this composition, which is superb. Light is an important factor in the overall balance, the figures on the left being brighter, and the spot a bit above the center and touching the upper end of the left group. up side down? was that meant as a joke, probably missed something. Anyway I doubt that it would be better, the group of two needs to be on the top. Greetings. Link to comment
