Same question, Colin.

What a wonderful contrast! That's the ideal way to use wide angle! I love this.

Fine art might be the closest category, but I am not sure. I want to

leave the reviewers to decide. Only thing I know is that I wanted to

represent the peace of home.

This was one of the peaceful evening before going to bed. The

available light source was only the table lamp. I blowed on the lens

to make a temporary soft-focus effect and decided when to shot as it

fades. Used photoshop for cropping from the left. Any comment will be

appreciated.

This pair of flowers were one of the few that standed out in the lush

green just after a afternoon rain. I tried to align them with

background hot spots to make them more dynamic.

In a sunny fall afetrnoon when eyes automatically go out into the

leaves high above around, a lonely reminder right close to my

feet awaits. Busy as it was, nothing was pre-arranged before the shot.

Thanks Malcolm, for sharing this dream photo. I think the key element here is the way things can take shape in unimaginable way. I am wondering how you visualize the effect before the flash freezes the action!

I downloaded the picture and fooling around with it for a couple of hours in Photoshop. I made a tentative cropping. Then noting the color area ratio, I was tempted to vary the colors closer to two classical color harmonies: yellow-violet and orange-blue. Please click the "Waterdrop" below. The forth one is after desaturation.The original is on the left upper corner. I beg excuses from Malcolm for this childishness.
