Challenge Entry #200

Simple pieces of paper glued together . I decided to enter so it seems I'm not "sandbagging" for the MS Walk Challenge ;)

The simplest of post processing. Used hue and saturation to bring out the other colors except for the blues since the blues were already saturated to begin with. Ran it through NI once to rid of some noise in the background. Cropped to 620x460. Enlarged canvas to 640x480 to have the white border around it.

The crop seems weird for me as I look at it since the bottom isn't showing. But oh well, such is life. Let's see where the votes fall this time around.

From the Critique Club :

Hi Rikki !

Congrats for your ribbon !
Now with 3 blue and 3 yellow , my advice is to go to the red ones ! ;-)

After all the comments you received and the score , there's not really much to add and even less advices to improve the photo.
Only my opinion : I really like this creative photo because with simple elements you have produced an impactive and colorful shot , that's brilliant ! The only secret here is maybe the lighting , you know very well how to use the light (as we all know).

You have met almost all your goals for year 2006 and it's still may ...
OMG ! What's next ?

Keep up the **very good** work, Rikki.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/10/2006 11:08:02 AM
I actually like the crop, seeing as it would be the place where you have everything fastened together it probably isn't as smooth and simple as the nice arch patterns you have going for you--which gives the image a lasting appeal.
