Challenge: Minimalism in Black and White (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Olympus PEN E-P2
Lens: Olympus 14-150mm f/4.0-5.6 M.Zuiko Digital ED
Location: Frankfurt
Date: Aug 1, 2010
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/125 sec
Date Uploaded: Aug 1, 2010

shot in Raw, but settings in monochrome
LR 3, used the preset BW look 1, adjusted noise reduction and sharpness,
followed by PSE 8:
Layer, median 5 (I think), layer mask and erase effect on the marbles only. All the sratches and wipe marks on that table were showing badly. After eliminating the background scratches, a bit dodging on the white background, then some more cloning out irregularities. A last brightness, contrast adjustment, resizing, frame, adjust sharpness, save for web.

My... so much editing for lack of cleaning....

utter lack of ideas.... these are marbles on a white glass table

I was going to do "minimal dinner" with a few pills on a plate, but it looked so silly :)

What can I say, this is just so gorgeous. I can't decide if this is minimalism, but it's fabulous.
