Now that's what I'm talking about, brother. Lay it on us....we can take it.:D
Good one.

I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
No problem Gary. Am glad you like the results with these 2 abstracts.
I really need to get a further fix for myself. Hmmm roadtrip. I know a
couple places I need too explore.
I find the light a little too harsh in the first one, but the second is really nice.
Thanks for saying Richard Always very appreciated. Are we talking overall too strong light or just the highly bright fingers
that reach between the strong cups of shadows going along the bottom?
I initially left those areas alone for blacks value isolation, but I think I could
rework those areas for greater impact overall. I would like that shot to
perform greater if I can get it.

Looking at it again, I think what bothered me was not so much the highlights as the shadows, or rather, the blacks. There are some really nice textures in the mid-tones but everything is flat in the blacks. That worked in #2 because there wasn't much black, but there's a lot in #1. Maybe try lowering the black point and see what pops out.

Thanks for the booster fix!
