Challenge: Dreams (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S50
Location: san francisco
Date: May 5, 2005
Aperture: 8.0
ISO: 50
Shutter: 0.5
Galleries: Abstract, Emotive
Date Uploaded: May 5, 2005

 Used the S50 for this one with a 4 inch roll of mylar for a reflecting tube affixed to the lens.

I focused on a cactus plant. When I got the composition I liked, I cropped severely, and rotated for best composition. I used hue and saturation to tweak the colors a bit, and burned and dodged to give depth. That's about it.

I like the abstract. Is it a piece of plastic and cactus leaves?

Interesting abstract! I love the way you've used a tunnel of reflective material to interpret the subject. It's too bad that some of those menacing spikes are not as sharply focused as they are sharp. Worth a re-do, IMHO...

Very cleverly done. I just feel that a little more sharpness would help.

Nice concept and composition but I would have prefered to see some clear focus somewhere if frame.

cactus in a blender? ;) Wow. Very different. really not sure where to go with this one - its hard to interpret. Alot of creativity though. Ice? I'm giving you a 7 for now, but may bump later.
