I want to thank everyone for commenting. I was taking some shots of pine tree bark when I saw the cones. I tried for a while to get a good shot but I kept having depth of field issues. Since I wasn't sure how to correct this, I thought maybe I could mask it a bit with the negative shot. I was also pleased with the colors that were produced. I thought this might add a bit of artistic flair, but in hindsight, I see that this was really a cheap trick to hide my lack of technical skill. This was my first submission online....not only to DPC, but anywhere for critique. It was a pleasure, and I have learned a few things in the process. Mostly, that the critics don't like color inversion... :)~ ...but alot of people like the final colors. Thanks again, and keep your camera close.

| This could be a great photo but the depth of field is too shallow rendering a photo that isn't as sharp as it could be. |

| Neat reverse color effects! Everything has texture, even pine tress (or cones), but in jumbling the colors, I feel the texture is harder to relate to (way square on my part). Cropping parts of your subject (two cones got tipped!) is not good. I am going to stay with my 7 score, as I like the idea so much! Swash |

| i'm trying to figure out why you inverted the colors. i went and 'uninverted' them to look at your original picture and i liked those colors better. but then - that's just my personal taste. i did think you could see the texture there a little better. -- gr8photos (4) |

| Interesting photo, and the color manipulation gives it a surreal feeling. |

| I hate these false colour shots, its just a cheap trick to make a bland picture look interesting. |

| This looks like a firework. I really like the angle and colors in this flower. There are some bright spots, but I don't know if you can get rid of those, they may be part of the plant (?) |

| I normally don' care for inverted images, but this one is done nicely, I think. Though the original is okay (I pulled it up in Paint shop, hope you don't mind), the inversion makes it more interesting. karmat |

| It looks like this photograph may have been color inverted--takes away from the natural beauty and texture in my opinion. *5* -balynch |

| I like the composition, but the color technique does not appeal to me, personally. I know you've tried it before in other competitions (or are paying tribute to the photog who has) and I think this subject works the best so far with the technique. I'm just not a fan of it. |
