I was looking for something very colorful in my house to photograph. Something basic but cheerful. We've had so much rain here in Florida.

I appreciate all the comments. So many said "grainy" and I don't see that. I'm wondering if it's my eyes or my monitor or what.

The colors are great, but I think it's too grainy. Points for originality, though.

Beautiful colors. I think you have the basis for a great idea here. I'd suggest using a really smooth paper (maybe origami paper?) and take some real care to fold the fans perfectly. Then make sure it's well lit to avoid as much of the camera "grain" as possible from being introduced to the picture.

Someday you need to teach me how to make that paper.

I like the colors, but it seems a bit grainy to me.

good idea, but the paper could be explored in more interesting and creative ways

simple but interesting concept

Neat shot, great idea. Seems a bit grainy. Very good use of bright colors.

sarcastic smile. doesnt look like fun. I like this pixelated effect though.

nice shape and color study.

this is a neat idea... i like the array of color here... The black spot in the lower right corner seems a little strange... = 7 - jmsetzler

great colors

nice colors, but there's nothing to it.

nice idea, and simple to implement. i've tried playing with colored paper but haven't been happy with any of my shots yet. i like this one. couple of nitpicky things: the black corners at top left and bottom right. would be nice if there was colored paper there, too. the orange paper that sticks out under the blue (tiny corner) is distracting. i told you i was being nitpicky. :) other than that, the shot is a tad grainy but you may have intended that. i would've preferred less grain personally. -- gr8photos (6)

Good use of colour. Dogman "7" ;-)

Nice idea. A little grainy and soft, but that's probably your camera.
07/16/2002 01:16:00 AM
I love all the colors
07/15/2002 11:47:00 PM
Nice colors and lines. Seems a little pixelated and maybe a tad overexposed. The folds on the yellow paper bother me because they're kind of messed up. 6 Lisa

I like the concept of taking something simple and capitalizing on the color and geometric form. Photographically there are some problems with lighting, noisi, and contrast. Some of the highlights are blown out, especially on the green piece. I'm not sure why there is so much noise, but if you have PhotoShop elements, PhotoPaint or some such program, then you can remove some of the noise. I would suggest increasing the color saturation and possibly the contrast too. I'll assume some of these problems are related to the camera so I'm scoring a bit higher than I otherwise might have based on the creativity and composition, which are good.

Very colorful and different from the other photos. Seems grainy but will still give you a 6.

Nice still life, good color... the noise does take away from the shot though... might be a limitation of the camera but try shooting this at a lower ISO.
