Forks Of All Countries - Unite!

[elfving73]

Hello friends!

I'm into a crazy "order prints of my images"-phase! :): Now I'm considering doin' a poster of this to hang on my kitchen wall. I'm just curious - do you like it? :scratch
When I posted it the first time, I wasn't sure of the "title", I knew what I was goin' for, but I couldn't formulate the perfect phrase! Finaly I did, thanks to Yuri! :thumb

Regards / Matty

Looks kinda cool to me. I like the idea and the colors. Something about the tines doesn't look right - is it an extraction? I would imagine this would sell if you can get it in front of the right audience.

Hi Matty,
I really like it. The colors are cool and I dig the comp:thumb. I see what sid is talking about. I'm thinking it's the contrast line between the forks and background makes the forks stand out. I like the lighting on the forks and your framing of the print. The only thing to check is a small white spot on the right fork near the bottom (leading edge).

See, I told you that you have plenty of shots that are poster worthy:clap.

Thanks for sharing,
Chris

Originally, the Fork-picture looked like this one below. No editing execept color enhancement. Today, when perparing it for print, I felt like redoing it trying to make it more eyecatching. The original is shot in Raw, so I "developed" it twice, one like the one below, and one unsaturated to get the forks more "silverish". Then I put'em on layers and did some masking. Would you have prefered the original?

Oh! How agonising! How could I miss that gigant little white bugger! :scratch Now when you meantioned it, that's all I see when I look at the picture. Photoshop - here I come! :rofl
Unfortunatley, I have already got myself a print copy of it. But for some reason, the white spot doesn't stand out as much on the print. I can live with it. Infact, I'm very pleased with it! :thumb

Too Cool... I like it and it is a tough subjest to photo. I did these a couple months ago:

I ended up spending about a week and got seven shot that are acceptable.

It's definitely a cool shot. I like your new one better than the original, nice processing. What's funny is now that I mentioned it, you'll see it but noone else will. Sorry about that.

Enjoy,
Chris
