Flag furled in Denim

Please tell me if you like this effect. And can someone please tell

me which category I should place this in? Thanks!

i like the effect. it looks sort of like denim which is also very American. i would put it in still life/studio or abstract.

Christal.... As I sat and pondered this one, trying to come up with a description of what it means or brings to me, I came up with "blue jeans". Dang it, then I read Bama Girls post and she beat me to it. The treatment is well suited to an abstract flag image. If I did anything further, it might be to vignette (slightly) to keep the eyes centered on the flag. The bright edges can let the eye escape off the main element. Well seen though... Mike

 

Oh yes, I would consider anything this close and personal to be a "portrait". But then, I get sorta mushy about the flag. I guess most would put this in "abstract".

Christal,

I have never seen our flag photograghed like this, this is a very unique shot. Well done, and thanks for sharing. Regards, Patsy

Thank you for supporting this photo, as it doesn't seem to be getting very much elsewhere. :-) It's funny.....sometimes one of my photos I don't like very much will get surprisingly good reviews from PN members......but then there is a case like this when I really like it and nobody else seems to. It's okay....I can take it. ;-) Mike, maybe your idea to vignette the corners would help.....it's a good idea. And is there a way for me to change the category on this and still keep the reviews? If so, someone please advise. Thanks!

Christal... I don't know of any way to change without reposting. I don't mind if you lose my comment if you need to. As for PN tastes, I haven't figured that one out either. I had a very nice b/w recently (well, at least I thought so) that didn't get but one or two anon raters (low at that) and zero comments in 24 hours. I pulled it but haven't given up on it as an image. Give this one another shot.... Mike

 

 

What an interesting capture of our grand old flag. The texture is unique and captivating.

 

Thanks, too, for the comments on Helping Hand.

 

Keep up the good work. I always enjoy seeing what you post.
