Challenge: Free Study 2007-08 (Expert Editing)

Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II
Location: Gozo (Malta)
Date: Aug 2, 2007
Aperture: f/18, f/10, f/10
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/125,1/125,1/400
Galleries: Still Life, Diptych / Triptych
Date Uploaded: Aug 30, 2007

 A triptych composed of three photos of snails I took while in Malta earlier this month. I found that one image alone did create a strong enough image. These were actually supposed to be a mini series mounted in a triangle, to represent the circle of life. For the purpose of this challenge, I thought I would give it a shot in the form of my first triptych.

Used similar techniques on all three photos:
Saturation, Curves, Levels,
Added Gold Tone
Dodge/Burn
Cloned out a few minor distractions
USM

Resized
Mounted on New Canvas
USM for webviewing

oh....why didn't you decide for one...I like them all too, but I'm sure one single picture would have done better in a challenge... but put it on a wall like this, the framing looks good anyways.

Not bad, think this would look good on a wall in the same frame and arrangement.

The first photo has a different feel than the last two (it is less dark). I think if the 3rd photo wasn't as dark, the triptych would work very well.

A.I don't get the title and B. it looks like you put a lot more work into the framing than into the photography.

the single shots are nice, but there's too much happening in the composition. more decent borders and identical image sizes had helped here.
