Thank you all for making this my best finish to date!

Many have asked how I did this shot.

Well, it was actually very simple. The only thing that might be difficult for most is having a sheet of dicrhoic glass on hand to use as a background. Black glass that has a ripple texture makes the base.

This was lit with ceiling bounced EiKO Photoflood & an angled diffused side light.

The only Photoshop tool used was the unsharp Mask.

I sure do appreciate all the helpful comments.

focus could have been better. I assume the woman in blue was not the main idea?

focus seems off, and is the second person really white and red?

rather over exposed and seems over sharpened also.

One of the shots of the week, IMO. I like the focal point, it really makes the grasshopper very much "other worldly". You can almost imagine the out of focus legs are not part of it. I might have gone for a little stronger colours in the negative space, though.

I don't think the colour does anything for this one. Would have preffered some vivid natural colous.

Church Cottage, Ditchling

Just a tad busy. I think I would have preferred seeing either the cottage as a more central figure or the tomb. As is it's difficult to say exactly what the focal point should be.
