Autism

This autism awareness ribbon is a magnet on the back of our van - original photo is: . In PP, adjusting levels to try to minimize the background (the van and its shadows & uneven surfaces - not to mention dust) basically reduced it to all black and made the colors really stand out. I take the comments that it looks like it was created in photoshop & not a picture as a compliment. But, seriously folks (and you know who you are) - my kids with autism are more flexible than some of you were on this one...

The colors clash - you've mixed a blue red (background, left) with an orange red, actual orange and sort-of yellow.

The choice of a dark green background works against this shot - there is not enough contrast between the black pieces and the background.

DNMC - which is too bad because the color doesn't buy you anything in this otherwise good image. Nice focus on entire dog's face, nice detail in the fur & around the eyes.

DNMC - not in black & white. Very nice capture of orchids.

DNMC - Somehow, I don't think purple or yellow is a shade of grey between black & white. The center is nicely in focus, and the reflection in the center is interesting.

My wife laughed out loud when she saw this (and if you think the trolls are tough...) Not sure the white border bought you anything, but this is a great shot, and a great memory. Go Nor'Easters!
