A branch of electricity makes sense to me Carole, but then I worked in a hardware store many years ago and that makes me more familiar with the concept than some others? At any rate, considering this was in a former mental institution I think you did a great job with your treatment here and am sorry more people couldn't wrap their heads around the idea- it's a great shot. Your thoughts for a B&W series of this institution sounds like a fine project you should definitely follow through on.

Originally posted by PennyStreet: Brent you got an overall score of 6.1. The framing is interesting. It's a nice picture. I don't understand what you have to be embarassed about.

Thanks Penny :-) Well.....what I am embarrassed about is the processing. I spent about 3 minutes PP this image and it shows- I cringed when I looked at it posted and the voting had already begun. I lightened the shadows too much in the sculpture, there was no need to do this and it looks artificial. There was an airplane trail in the upper left corner (long exposure) that I cloned out but left a speck of at the corner of the sculpture and it looks like a nasty sharpening artifact. Some curve adjustments could have removed some of the atmospheric haze. I oversharpened the image and used a bad setting for USM that left an ugly halo around the sculpture and I even applied some sharpening after putting in the black canvas frame which gives it an unappealing halo too. I'm not embarrassed about the scene I captured (I slithered through bushes between a fence to get it), but the finer details of processing here are quite bad and nothing to be proud of.

Nice graphic quality to this. Highlights might be a little too blown but still a great shot- well done.

Very nice detail and texture here and neat to see eggs in a natural looking environment.

This scored well with me for it's humor and some nice attributes. Nitpicks would be it seems a tiny bit lacking in sharpness and a blacker black background would be better I think (maybe not an easy task with basic rules). Nice work!
