 softbox from the left.

PP: crop, duplicate layer, apply image (I believe on the red channel, overlay, 80%?) after that used a layer mask to make the plant a bit less contrasty.
brightness contrast for dpc, saturation on the plant, cloned a few spots out.

that's it!

Nice shot, but doesn't hold my attention very long. Watering can is a little soft. Exposure on the plant and water is nice. 6

Very good concept which you've photographed extremely well. Maybe a little more light on the plant would be good but that could be a monitor issue.

Very nice lighting...it really creates the interest and drama of this photo, as does the composition. Nicely done!

ok
 05/29/2007 07:24:20 PM
nice simple idea. The lighing is good on the watering can but i'd like to see some secondary lighting on the plant to make it stand out a bit more.
Composition is spot on and I love the way the can is in the corner. 6
