Post up your setup for the five challenge here.
Here's mine:
I put a flat magnet under the black, shiny paper at the top of my "light box" and stuck the steel balls & paperclip to it. I made my "light box" by cutting the sides out of a cardboard box, than putting the box insid an old T-shirt. Would have had much better results if I'd stapled the T-shirt to the inside of the box, but I'm far too lazy.
Here's the original photo, only rotated & resized:
-edit: and here's my entry:

Rather sad that you get bored of such things... I know I don't. I roamed the countryside with DIM7 this past winter and took some wonderful photos of owls, and he had the good fortune of capturing this beauty, which I never tire of looking at
Similarly, when looking at a recent submission in the "Minimalism" challenge, I found a photo of a flower that contained this gem submitted by Beetle...
I guess when it comes to flowers and birds, we have different tastes. I am sure however that you would agree that there are some outstanding photos to be seen in both of these categories.
Just a thought...

My most sincere apologies Strikeslip...
In my eagerness to defend those that submit photos of flowers and birds, I neglected to comment on your set up. Great idea, and very well executed. My compliments on a job well done.

thanks...i wish more photographers would post the "homemade" studio items....I would love to know the cheapest way to attain the same results to play with at home and figure out techniques before i buy the real deal. I see it this way...before i pay that much money on my photography habit/passion i want to know what the heck im doing first~ ok i didnt mean to hijack ur thread...just wanted to say thanks for the info :o)

I didnt want to go with the usual flower shot.. so I tried to Jazz it up a bit.. here is the original:  and this is the entry:  . I am happy with 35th place, but would the original have done better? Too much processing?

No, I think your processing has added a lot to the picture. Your picture did catch my eye duringthe voting and I think I voted it quite high... it has a very nice quality to it. |

I think the final image was wonderfully superior to your original. Made an ordinary shot special.
