Description The weird colors in this shot really reminds me of (very) old two-strip technicolor movies.

Curves, color balance and channel mixer in Photoshop.

Sorry for the late reply. The flash is just the built in one one. It doesn't look like it, but it's shot "on location", I just hapened to walk by.

Thanks a lot for the comment and the fav!

The colours are straight from Japain and create a strong atmosphere. They also are calming and soft for eyes - lovely to look at. The composition is nice, there's little of everything in the photo. The fuzzy background brings a lot of motion to the picture which brings contrast to the otherwise still feeling. I don't know if this is bad, though. Rather interesting.

Great work!

There's no green in this shot, that might be the reason.

hewhoisdave [2005-05-17 00:47:07 +0000 UTC]

You're right, the colors are weird. It has a very cool Japanese feel, I think it's the reddish of the snail with the flowers, looking like cherry blossoms

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

snader In reply to hewhoisdave [2005-05-18 18:16:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, maybe it does look a bit Japanese. I'm not completely sure, but I actually think that the flowers are some form of cherry.

wonderful composition of the appearing colors and shapes, not to forget the motive
though it looks as the snail would have been photographed on another photo and mixed in, because the reflecting light is that sharp

snader In reply to tiver [2005-05-18 18:13:21 +0000 UTC]

I used the built-in camera flash when I shot this. It really makes the image seem like a studio photo in some ways. Might be an explanation for the snail looking like it's been mixed in.

Thanks a lot for the comment!

tiver In reply to snader [2005-05-20 08:56:23 +0000 UTC]

okay, after writing my comment i "remembered" snail-houses are smooth. when thinking at this, a matt/rough fotographing of my snail wouldn't have done better either. perhaps you could reduce the reflecting light a bit, really i could think the snail isnt real.. ye, hit me, i know i am still sticking at this - reason: the composition and the composition of the colors (these are 2 different things!) have been reached so good here

I particularly like the shapes in this one, so many different ones. Curves, straight lines. Great job with the colours and lights too. You've caught a very nice moment here. This was a good one to see before going to sleep, maybe I'll be as standstill as the little one here.
