I liked this shot. To make it better - hmmm - maybe cloneout some of the specs within the lamps to make it a bit cleaner and maybe a tighter crop on the sides. I love how the lamps just look like they are floating out there. And I think you took the shot atthe right time during the lamp cycle. Later on the lava would be in too many pieces and have a different effect. This has a cool feel about it. Very nice.
Really like the idea, wish the focus was tighter on the smaller image also, and maybe that one a little higher, but do understand you have to work with what you have. Overall nicely done
thanks for the comments! it is one lava lamp that I placed on my sink using a night stand. then i used the background mirror and a medicine cabinet mirror on the left to make the third reflection.
The composition here is great. So are there three lava things? or are you very tricky with mirrors? Honestly the only thing I think you could have improved is the focus on the left.
I'm becoming a big fan of Neat Image and am wondering if it might have helped clean up some of the noise in the yellow areas -not really bad stuff, but it's the only thing along with the focus that I can see to keep this from a really high score. Good job.
This is a great shot, really holds my attention. Mostly because I'm trying to figure out how you did it, and what the setup was!
I assume it's three lava lamps positioned in a dark room? - If so then you did a good job of controlling the lighting to ensure that only the insides of the lamps were illuminated. A great idea with good visual impact, and you executed it well.
The composition really adds to this, and technically I can't find anything wrong with it.
This is some shot, especially in terms of its difference! I like the overall composition and the way in which the lava lamps suggest an other worldly sensation. Personally - and what do I know? - I would have positioned the left hand lamp differently, probably higher with the righ hand lamp a little lower, just to drive the dynamics of the picture. A very clever image none the less.
In addition to liking the title, I thought the image was strangely sensual. I also like how you're created the distance to each of the other lamps. Now how did you do it??
I think that's a really nice shot, and I've no idea why it didn't score better. Not that 5.4 is *bad*, but I'd have figured on this one being more in the 5.7ish range. About the only thing I could think to improve it would be a vertical crop but that's just me.
Wow, at least I was beaten by a GOOD shot! I think the composition would have been a touch stronger if the "background" lamps had been just a touch farther apart. Excellent yellow entry, and congratulations on winning the first round :)
I liked this idea very much, but to me, the blobs seemed too soft, know that is probably because of the lamps themselves, but it is what I felt when I looked at it, gave it a 6 btw!
