I've had the concept-idea for this photo for a while, and after

several unsuccessful attempts to light the interior of this shell in

varios ways,....I finally came up with the right one:

(....there's a 'glow-in-the-dark-stick' inside)

a flashlight was used to slightly high-lite the top of the

shell,....any suggestions are always welcome,....enjoy.

Nice concept - I love it :) if I could change somehting though i wouid try to make the grass behind the shell just alittlebit lighter -- maybe with a tinyiest flash of light (?) Well thats just me :) I love the idea !!!

Very creative idea. I agree with some of the other critiquers that lightening the grass would help somewhat. Nontheless, I think you should be quite satisfied with your idea and its implementation.

Only suggestion is keep producing quality shots like you're doing...well done again. The grass is no major thing...there's just enough light on it imo...

I question why people are requesting for the grass to be lighter, I never even thought in that direction. I would have thought darker to bring out the shell more and make it seedier- the neon glow makes me think of a bar, the empty beach the wrong side of town.

 

Can anyone do a comparison (I suck at taking others work and playing with it) so I can learn where others are coming from or just tell me.

 

Thanks,

Knicki, to answer your question, IMO, having the nearby grass silhouetted with no other elements silhouetted (except the distant trees deviding the land and sky) adds too much emphasis to what I would consider a minor element in the total composition. The far shore shows detail as do the clouds; the grasses become unique in their darkness and because of that they become visually heavier. This is a subtle thing and IMO doesn't affect the picture that much one way or another. I hope that at least explains why I mentioned what I did.

Very eery, but really cool. I like what you did with this. Another very original composition that is visually stimulating.

Thank you Pete. I appreciate you explaining it to me.

The idea works (surprisingly) in my opinion. I would just suggest making the lit shell a little more prominent in the image. It's sort of dwarfed somewhat by the rest of the scene. Just an idea, it still works just enough like posted.

Vincent's version removes the fisheye effect. How long exposure did you use. Is this a bracketed shot combined? It's pretty amazing you have such a blue glow with a bright horizon.

Why any normally cognitive human would rate this a 2 for Originality escapes me! The sunset alone merits more than average.

 

Regarding the photograph, I think it is an imaginativley conceived and accomplished idea. My only criticism is that the camera should have been pointed up a bit to eliminate the fisheye's characteristic barrel distortion. Regards.
