Took at night in my bedroom not sure what type of flower it is.
I made the hand which was my hand black and white and the flower stayed its original colour. I boosted the contrast and sharpened the image.
The lighting was done using my laptop screen and having no other lights on in my room.

Can't help but feel it could be a touch sharper, did you apply a final sharpen after the resize? Lovely yellow tones set against the B&W and superbly composed

I like the unsaturated effect, nice concept too... only lil fault for me would be the slightly blown highlights tad distracting =]

Please exaplain how you did it. Perhaps playing with channels? I think i can not do it in Basic Editing.

I like how you highlighted the flower and the overall good focus in your shot here.

i thought this was for basic editing

I love this shot. Curious how the selective desat was done so I can give it a try. Lovely detail in the flower.

Nice use of selective desatuartion and nice lighting. The blownout fingertips see, a bit distracting but still a cool shot!

I like the simplicity of this and the high (yet controlled) contrast. Nice composition as well. Good luck in the challenge.

Mmmm... so pretty and soft. Love the desat here.

Great shot. I love the enhanced contrast and shadows on the petals. I'm not sure how you isolated the yellow of the flower within basic editing rules, but if you did, very well done. I'll assume not and vote high!

RIBBON!!! It has it written all over it, the selective desat is amazing, great composition and lighting, 10 from me and a favorite, very nicely done.

very nice idea, but the tips of the fingers look cut off - especially the second to end... it's too distracting for me.

great use of desaturation. nice image
01/15/2008 07:55:26 PM
Nice shot!

not sure how you accomplished this under the basic editing rules...will give benefit of the doubt
