3-D Botany II [DPC legal]

Comment by adine:
This is certainly more a more daring composition than your 3-D Botany - but that may be why it didn't do as well. The flowers in the original are set up as a traditional botany rpint and viewed in a typical manner, and the 3-D flowers "bloom" out of this composition (very delightful to look at BTW). This composition forces the viewer to be more imaginative - the view is not of a formal picture on a wall, but perhaps a glance at an odd angle of artwork on a table. The composition mirror the viewers surprise - we feel shaken and usure which way is up or down - "are those leaves growing out of the page?!" I wonder if you desaturated the printed leaves leaving the real ones green the viewer would understand more easily? Perhaps having the background a more parchment'like color? You put A LOT of work into this and it shows. When you take the time to look at it and THINK you really enjoy it.

Comment by Olyuzi:
This image appears to be a cut out of a print leaving perspective very distorted. While the shapes have some interest (even with the distortion) the color is drab and leaves lack interesting detail. Lighting is too harsh, especially evident at the top.

Comment by mrorange002:
let me guess,
you cut out a picture of leaves,
then took a picture of your picture?
is that allowed?
isn't it considered multiple exposures?
what's the difference between using multiple layers in photoshop?
