Challenge: Post-It Note (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Challenges
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM
Location: Harwich Port, MA
Date: Feb 15, 2009
Aperture: f/8
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/125
Date Uploaded: Feb 15, 2009

 Basically straight from camera, a little skew adjustment to square the geometry, a little wedge cloning on the left postit to square it up as well.

Hand-held, thus the 400 ISO

*******

Is minimalism alive and well on DPC? We shall see. I bought a ton of postits and was working on various elaborate constrauctions+backlighting, and to be honest it bored me. I decided to go with some clean and simple instead. Probably gonna get hammered I know, but I like it, a LOT.

Well done, I enjoyed this during voting. Much better than my abstract with Post-its.

PostLuminous Award WINNER!
Well, I could go on and on (and usually do :-), but suffice it to say that this is simple, elegant, beautiful in tone, texture, color, shading, shape, form, composition.

The fact that it was done with post-it notes matters only for the challenge qualification--but this image stands apart from any challenge limitation, and no reference to post-its is needed to appreciate it, no explanation is necessary or value-added in that context, as it could diminish the pleasure of contemplation.

Thank you.....

Now, THAT's a hell of a comment. Where did you study design, assuming you did?

5.75 is pretty darn good for an abstract on DPC, IMO. I was expecting to find this down in the 4's, simply because that's where abstracts normally fall. You pulled it off well. I gave it an 8, BTW.

great minimalism and tones.

This strikes me as an LPatrick entry. Cool looking abstract. Nice shading of the gray tones. That's tough to do with JPEG. I have a lot of problems with banding on such things.

I like the simplicity here. Nice colors, evellent lighting. I like the gradient effect on the blind(I assume). Good Luck.

Love the abstract feel and the minimalist colour.

Simple... And appealing to the eye... Only reason I didn't vote higher then an 8 is because there was no "wow" factor.
