new layer, adjust levels to make image almost invisible for the black, change opacity to bring image back through, followed by a paint brush to bring details through on a masked layer

That's awesome. How do you get the background completly black like that?

Simply wonderful. Technically flawless and filled with visual appeal. My hat is off.
01/15/2006 11:18:47 PM
Again... I am loving simplicity. Your colors are vivid and well contrasted... I also appreciated the thourough coating you gave inside the pots. I would be intereted in hearing what your background/dropcloth are made of. Congrats on a wonderful image.

Love the smoothness you've captured with the flowing paints. A very simple idea.. nicely done.
01/14/2006 09:56:36 PM
Nice & simple! One of my top picks this time around.
01/13/2006 02:06:19 PM
Wonderful. Love it.

Wonderful idea and execution. Love the bright vivid colors, great composition and use of space.
01/13/2006 12:04:24 AM
Great color saturation. I like the way you've chosen to compose this as well. Maybe a tighter shot or more crop would have helped emphasize the subject more? Just my humble opinion, nice shot nonetheless

Very nice colors
01/12/2006 06:19:22 AM

This is great!

I think I've just found the winner. Very nice concept and great execution.
01/09/2006 11:18:57 PM
love the white highlight line along the edge of the paints adding depth and definition to the shape of the spill - great lighting
01/09/2006 02:27:12 PM
Very nice photo. Great color and subject matter.
01/09/2006 11:57:52 AM
Very well lit, and an excellent idea. These colors do burst visually against such a dark background even if the paint is just oozing. I might crop a bit more top and bottom.
01/09/2006 10:01:20 AM
Love the clarity and distinction.
01/09/2006 08:58:26 AM
cute

At first I really liked this picture. Then I started to see some of the clear signs of photoshoping. Like the pot on the lefts uneven bottom. If though it would have been messy I think you would have been better once doing this for real.

Also I don't think that it's as strong with the pots framed in the center, move them off to the side and create better negtive space around them.
01/09/2006 04:24:08 AM
to dark background specially because this is spouse to be a picture
01/09/2006 02:33:13 AM
great idea & photo
01/09/2006 02:01:49 AM
Excellent capture, Top ten for sure
