A good time to use this sometimes-overused technique.

The uneroded veins in the rock roughly correspond to the grid you'd see on your LCD screen if your camera had a "ROT-Assist" function ...

This is one of my recent entries which are lighter than they should be due to my monitor recently going way out of calibration. It looks better darker.

Camouflage

Thanks -- this was of several recent photos of mine which got over-lightened in post-processing as my monitor was getting far out of calibration. I'll try to post some betteradjusted versions for comparison; also, I have some with the tree to the side -- I considered those, but went for the greater degree of camouflage.

Interesting -- I tried a similar shot yesterday evening, i'm pretty sure a lot less effectively.

I know what you mean! Sometimes though, you just have to make do with what's available -- I'm actually thinking of doing some studies of our "wired world" as there are some great examples in my neighborhood. Here's one I did a couple of years ago : )

You know, if that eye were to be "reading" the DQ, I thing the reflection one would see int he cornea there would be the mirror-image, not rihgt-reading as you have it here. Still a clever idea and well-executed.

I'm confused about this represents conspiracy or wishful thinking : )

So Sixties ...

Thanks -- as I mentioned in my notes, her outfit and look made me think "Sixties" immediately, and was the inspiration for this.

While the pose/expression were great, the lighting and background circumstances were not. Since I was going to be making radical tone adjustments anyway, and since "color" was supposed to be the "point" of the challenge, I went ahead and tried to make it look like something you might see on one of the "Acid Rock" concert posters common in that era.

Here's an unadjusted original:

Nice job with the lighting, use of unusual angle.
