Meant no offense, but the color of the can itself does look more blue than purple on my screen.

It's one of my favorites from the challenge which easly made my top5 :)


you're right about the can. when I bought the wrapping foil (which is around the can) it looked purple, but when I took the outer foil it was packed in off, it turned out to be blue. I was bummed by it but couldn't go back to return it.

For me this is the true winner of this challenge, all the photos above it were just copies of well sold ideas on DPC. Personally I am sick of seeing the winning formula so much shamelessly repeated by people here. But there are still some people who do very good work and think differently.

great shot, very creative. i just wish that the yellows of the flower and wall did not blend into one another. dof and composition are right on though.

I like the colors very much! I think I would leave out the hand with the spray can

Woah. Would have made it perfect if the bottle was purple and the nails didn't have the little blue sparkles though.

nice
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/28/2007 07:09:53 AM
i like it. Althought why are the yellow flowers so blurry? is it due to the mist? Also, not a fan of the sparkly thingys in the fingernails.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/28/2007 06:01:29 AM
Very fun shot! :D The title makes the shot and the shot the title. Great lighting and setup. Only nitpick, the can of blue paint squirting the paint. A very simple Sat/Hue adjustment to the Blues is what the Dr. ordered ;)
 11/28/2007 03:15:48 AM
Great idea! Nice shot.

The yellow background seems weird to me, it is not giving contrast with the flowers. I'd like to see the same on different backgrounds. Anyway I like it. 6.
