... and Dust to Dust

-removed broken post-

Somehow I keep posting single characters, or url addresses as comments. Sorry for the confusion.

Anyway, this is an interesting take on granular. I like the dust and gritty feel to it. It works well as black and white. But I feel like it needs more of a story behind it to really grab my attention.

Got a 7 from me, Lydia. Great finish. Lots of entries like this that prove at least to me, that stunning, but straightforward photography can compete directly with digital art.

Nice lighting and use of B&W. The contrast and cropping are also good. Nice shot!

nice picture and processing, good placement of the Dad and baby in the frame makes for a strong image

Comment by Greensquared:
I absolutely LOVE this image. It could be partly because I'm partial to Mantises since I keep one as a pet. However, the colors are awesome and the premise is very cool. I wish for a touch more DOF in the Mantis. I am not certain it would be an improvement, but I would be interested to see the flower/Mantis were to the right of the image as opposed to the left as something very, very slight in the composition is leaving me uncomfortable. The blue in the background could pop more as it would contrast nicely to the orange, but that may distract from the insect, so I'm not certain that would be an improvement either, but maybe something to play with. Extremely nice image as is, however.
