Sorry for the lack of originality but the venue shot did not happen and I tried another idea before that I was not real happy with so I went with this. I think all the colors of the rainbow are here as well as others. Course if they are not I'm sure someone will let me know.
My mind has been elsewhere as I just started working this past week for the first time in almost two years. Yeah! It is part time until the week after next then temporary full time to 02/01/2010 or until a permanent person is found. Working on being that person, not sure yet if it will be possible....as of now it is not.

Cool shot. Soooo many intricate color variations. "Threes" always seem to work well from a compositional perspective. The background colors might seem a tad on the dark side, but don't detract much from the overall strong statement. There are a few technical issues that might have come across sharper and brighter, but nice work. 7
Another cd... This is more interesting than many others. The relfex of the drops on the CD don't work well in my opinion. Lacks some pop on the contrast and/or the colors. Don't appeal to me. 5.
