Challenge: Complementary Colors III (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: South Africa
Date: Apr 23, 2006
Aperture: f11
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/80
Date Uploaded: Apr 24, 2006

 Pretty plain shot, used a purple fly swatter on a yellow cloth in the bathtub. The cloth wasnt much bigger than what you see, so it's a pity I couldnt get a bit more of it in the shot.

Converted from raw, slight rotate, usm, hue saturation, brightness/contrast, resize, save for web.

I like the idea but maybe a lower angle would have more impact

I had to look at this and think ... 'they still sell fly-swatters? ... and they are stylish? .... and they work well on a slip-and-slide?? ... i like it for the bizarre thing that it is.

Very dynamic; I might have liked more of an angle on the flyswatter, though.

5 - Like the strong colors. Concept slightly unusual, like to have seen more detail in the water(?) 'rising', quality dependent, perhaps a tighter crop may have helped this, or perhaps a different angle, if possible, who knows. Seems a little grain in the yellows as well, but difficult. Variation in composition may have also given this a bit more of an edge, in my opinion.

Nice use of color for theme. Great job freezing the water. Is that water on the lens in the top right corner?

very sharp capturing of water droplets...2

great at first look, but think you played too much with hue/sat sliders. Crop is a bit tight. 6
