23 APR04 JAPANESE GARDEN

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone.
I didn't like this one very much at all

this is the original

I didn't know what to do with it, so I desaturated to B&W
Didn't like that, so I added the flowers back in.
Didn't like that, so added the bridge
Ran out of time & had to get something up

SO that is what this is
A throw-in

I think I should have left it alone

Olympus C-740UZ
1/200s f/2.8 at 6.3mm iso64 full exif

It's pretty! I like it a lot!

I kinda like the bridge. It contrasts well against the flowers, and gives an interesting perspective to the picture. Most flower pictures are rather boring, but I like this one a lot!

Thanks MArk - I happen to agree with you, one or the other in color, not both, but I don't really care for this one at all. I like the orginal with no alterations at all =)

Well, honestly (here goes! ;) ) I think the colored bridge is distracting. The blue flowers against the B&W rocks is good enough.

I think it looks fine, but I'm kind of weird so don't take my word for it!
Guest 25-Apr-2004 05:00
It looks cool like this! Funny how sometimes we don't like a shot and everyone else does!!

Looks good to me.
Nice use of post processing.
Guest 24-Apr-2004 12:04
I think this looks good!

Nice use of color and b/w.

gorgeous flower and the red bridge really gives the japanese feeling to this picture.

Very nice shot , i really like the way you have just highlighted the colour on the plant and bridge , very creative .
Guest 24-Apr-2004 01:18
nice, love that red bridge
Karthik Raja24-Apr-2004 01:12
Very nice. Really has a good Japanese feel to it.
Guest 24-Apr-2004 00:54
Your color treatment of this is very suggestive of Japanese art. Sharp!
Karen Leaf24-Apr-2004 00:49
Nice blending of color, and the flowers growing in the rocks!

A bit of lying in a hard place to capture these beauties. Nice highlights.
David Winge24-Apr-2004 00:35
I really like the bridge treatment in the background, very nice mix of B&W ala color.

This was a very good photo with the low view. Then your processing made it even better.

Hey those look great with the snow in the background!
