A lot of effort here - nothing I'd want to put on my wall (but hardly any in this challenge meet that criteria); overall a really good effort. 7.

Hopefully a brighter future.......

The post-processing here is just flat out brilliant. I hope this ribbons - it deserves to.

Rainbow

Wow, this is an amazing image in so many ways, the completeness of the rainbow itself, the light and color of the rest of the scene, the coverage of your captures and your skillful image stitching. I had never seen a rainbow so impressive but thanks to this image I now feel I've had that opportunity.

Beautiful lighting and Post Production. We seem to have a similar vision. This was shot for Spring Magazine from their last issue, came out back in the Spring of this year and shot in studio in Paris. It seems that flowers are really happening ;-) //www.pbase.com/benjikan/image/107202763 //www.pbase.com/benjikan/image/107202868

Chalk and cheese here - benjikan- your work is in a different league altogether. Fabulous stuff. I'm just a guy with a camera and some software!

I had actually already shot this image by the time I noticed your 'umbrella' post and it certainly made me think (and it made me laugh - I appreciated the engaging, journalistic intent); I did feel the need to acknowledge my lighting choices in my description of the image and I meant what I said about having no clue about lighting - I think I even used the umbrella backwards and since Nic was lying on the kitchen floor and I had to work around the kitchen table I managed to cast a shadow from the leg of the tripod across her face! Thank goodness for Viveza - I was able to recover the shadow area with some careful control point guided trickery! I should have re-shot but I had already stretched my wife's tolerance after having her lie for about 40 minutes on a rock hard surface. Proof that I am a very amateur photographer in every sense of the word.

Thanks for the comment - it is appreciated.

Excellent capture - photographically, I wish it had a little more contrast.

Looks like a ribbon winner to me - great stuff!

I hope you don't get hit by the 'a spiral isn't a circle crowd'

Subject-wise, not that interesting but fantastically well executed.
