Hiking Boots with a maglite to show as laces.

I don't get why this got criticized but regardless, I loved it anyway. :)

I agree with Tom on this shot. The original was much better. Did you get this idea (highlighting laces by PWL) from Photography Monthly?

I wish you had gone with your original shot, which would have scored highly with me, however as this shot stands I agree with the members of the site council, that commented on this shot, in saying that it lacks photogrpahic integrity.

Striking use of a neon-glow PS filter (or some such filter), but did you "use a non-stationary light source (for example, a moving flashlight in your hand) as the primary method of illumination"?

I dont believe that this is keeping photographic integrity. Too much Photoshop. 1.

looks very much like you just ran a filter on this with find edges or something. Curious to know if that was how it was achieved

If you did this without the use of any photoshop special effects I would give you a 10 +. Very well done.

Gotta love that advanced editing! just like turning a sow’s ear into a silk purse!

I would like to see the challenge entries maintain \"photographic integrity\". Really neat that you can do this, but it transforms, imo, this photo too far to the Digital Art side.

So cool, I hope you tell us how you did this.

GREAT lighting. This would make a killer photo.I want details on how this one was done ! I love it ! = 10

I really want to see the explanation of this shot in "How'd they do that?" section.
good work!

This is really creative! Great job!

I LOVE this image. I mean, visually, I'd hang it on my wall. But I admit to some trouble understanding the painting with light aspect - did you do some actual painting with light and then photoshop a neon glow in or is this all natural so to speak? It doesn't matter how much you photoshopped it to me - as long as it started out as being "painted". Can you tell me about it?

excellent photo and very creative use of light. 9

In the true tradition of painting with light. I like this one . My only crit is the missing toe of each boot. My assumption is that it was intentional but I think it would be that !tad" better with it.
The wispy light on the toes is particularly effective

Interesting neon effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/27/2004 10:24:27 PM
Excellent effect. Love the colors too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/27/2004 02:11:24 PM
Great job on the image itself and the final result. It's of course very much Photo-Shopped, but who doesn't like shopping :)
What I like most are the thin, pale lines of the tip and in the very back as contrast to the bright laces. Good luck.

Another cool one. Great colors but again want to learn how this look was achieved? In camera effect? Nice picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Simply amazing. 10

This is a very cool shot. But I am not sure if you reached this effect via Photoshop filters or using light painting. If you used light painting, I would love to know how you managed to be so accurate. I hope you tell all afe the challenge is over.

fantastic effect. I dig the way the laces go from blue to white.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2004 06:05:57 PM
cool effect - especially paired with this processing - Neon Shoes! Abstract, but recognizable, and easy to relate to and enjoy. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the overall effect, but is this really painting with light, or painting with Photoshop? Just Kidding!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2004 12:51:54 PM
Quite interesting and original.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2004 10:41:37 AM
This is either a really incredible job, or way too much post editing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2004 10:14:30 AM
was this lit this way or did you just use an edge detection filter?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2004 08:29:43 AM
Very cool shot ... love the effect!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2004 08:14:17 AM
I don't think this photo meets the challenge. There is no photographic technique here... just photoshop. The 'photographic' integrity, which is important in advanced editing challenges has been abused, in my opinion. = 1

01/26/2004 07:10:20 AM
This is definitely a winner in my book!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2004 02:08:23 AM
This looks more like a photo shop effect than pained with light, is it ?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2004 01:46:30 AM
Very, very effective. A winner?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2004 12:06:42 AM
this is a cool effect, did you really paint with light or are you just good at photoshop? Its hard to tell...
