WOW. This is truly amazing. Only the second time I have found commenting on a photo truly due. This shot and process takes the cake.
Congratulations, I hope it earns you lots of $$$.
The link to the color shadow explanation was great. Thanks! :-)

I eventually thought of using flowers that matched the colored shadows, but was reluctant because of the possible "another flower shot" backlash... but I decided to do it anyway because I couldn't think of anything better. =] So I made a quick trip to the grocery store (where I had seen these multi-colored daisies in the past) and bought the flowers. I shot with the lights in several different locations, but I settled on this composition for my entry.
(I'm glad this was a "Basic Editing" challenge, or I'm sure some voters would have assumed this effect was created in Photoshop!)
I found this web page which explains the colored shadows phenomenon for anyone interested. |
Hi Eddy;
Congrats to your ribbon. It was well deserved.
I´m curious about your link. This is broken to me. |

hey,
great shot. You & I were working on the same train of thought as I too entered a similar shot only yours came out much better. I like the white BG, brings out the colours really nicely. the only thing that I did not like was the blue shade in the upper left corner. otherwise flawless IMO. 9 |

| Stunning composition - the simplicity of it is really wonderful and it is well executed. I wish (ever so slightly, you've done a marvelous job) that the shadows were a little more on one plane than angled up on the blue one. |

| this is a wonderful photograph, and i'm at a total loss as how you did it! the quality of this image is leagues ahead of many of the ones on offer this week - it's seemingly simple but oh so well set up and executed. my only slight thought is that there is a little too much empty space at the top... but that aside, it's perfect. 10. |

| very nice - but I would have cropped tighter - you don't need the space at the top of the image (In my humble opinion). I love the way the shadows reflect the color of the flowers. |
