Well,, I know it is late..but it took forever to get the rework and re-shoot done..

so here they are.. need to take a vote...

I based this final picking off of the votes from the others since everyone liked the caviar and the plant and the shells..

If it is not too late and anyone is out there still, please comment.. I tried to get it up as fast as possible.. so some are not finished....

Thanks

Kat

    Hi Kat,

    I have to say that I really like UMBRA. I think you captured the lighting so well, and it has a unique perspective! The caviar one is cool, but just not my favorite for the theme. Of the shells, I like the New Black Light Shell the best (the 2nd of the 3). Hope this helps...
    I too may be putting up a last minute request for help, as I am second guessing myself as usual!

    Umbra for me too. I like the caviar shot as well, but it's not quite as sharp as it should be in my opinion (either missed focus or not enough DOF or possibly a little of both). You're definitely putting a lot of effort into this, I'm exhausted just watching you work lol3.gif

    Hey Ron,

    Thanks again for chiming in.. Had to laugh at your comment on the exhaustion...
    Usually I don't go through this many, but the blacklight was a "very difficult light" to post process for me and to shoot too... so,, that is why I am going through so many different shoots... will try to chose my options more carefully next time...

    On the caviar.. I think it is the high contrast processing that makes it look that way.

    again.. thank you... and good luck on the contest..

    Hi Kat, no, i wasn't online, but luckily decided to check in when my son got off the computer.

    The umbra gets my vote also. I think it is the best, though I like them all.

    Good Luck & don't wear yourself out by staying up all night.

    Set your alarm, you still have approx. 6 hours to upload. Normally they fix it pretty darn quick.
