Black & White
Color Balance
Hue/Saturation

SQUARES!

O.o

Seems like you did a lot of adjusting... I probably do half of that... which is quite interesting... how people differ in terms of post-processing and stuff.

This reminds me of something, but... damn, I can't recall. 'Tis macro, which gives us a hint, I guess.

I really like the blue tone and the composition of the lighting, as well. The perspective is lovely, although I can't help wanting to rotate the piece more, if you get what I mean...

Brilliant depth of field and concept, anyway. You should do more of these.

Kamal-Q In reply to 3wyl [2010-07-13 21:27:41 +0000 UTC]

o.O Squares can be quite horrible [link]

Most of the adjustments are really just to get the color and shadows as close to the way I imagine it in my head as I can. But yeah I <3 post processing

I was going for a look I saw in your gallery in the chapters of life series - though it did turn out different enough so that I wasn't straight up plagiarizing you [link]

yeah the way the thing is angled makes you want to rotate it a certain way - but I think regardless of how its moved it'll look a bit off - its all natural lighting. Figure out what it is ?

I may now that I have a macro lens Thanks for the thoughtful comment and

That's too adorable.

Ah, I see... That's quite interesting.

I hope so.

You don't even know what they're about anyway! So how can it be plagiarising...

Hmm... Perhaps.

No, but unlike you, I am not in pain.

hey, welcome back
ooooh let me guess 20,000 messages ?

I don't have a clue what the last long one was about - take as long as you like

Did you enjoy the vacation though ?

3wyl In reply to Kamal-Q [2010-08-13 19:13:52 +0000 UTC]

Well, exchange "messages" with "journals" and that would be correct.

It was ok, I guess... I agree with you that it was good as a breather kind of thing, but I still felt it was entirely too long, and I felt myself becoming unmoored as well. >.<

It was tedious. -.-

Everything is ok, I guess... Not really, but I've been thinking a lot about emancipation. o.O

I suppose that I have thought about a lot of things, but I can't really remember them.

Kamal-Q In reply to 3wyl [2010-08-14 22:24:51 +0000 UTC]

I can't even begin to imagine

Not really ? Why/whats not right? Free will and emancipation, how come ? I mean freedom is important to every one to an extent - but I think you mean it in a different way.

If you thought about things but can't remember them - how do you know you ever thought of them ?

3wyl In reply to Kamal-Q [2010-08-15 18:52:15 +0000 UTC]

Not really in the sense that I've had no new thoughts.
