    SYNTHETIC OILS

    Gut reaction: huh? headscratch.gif
    10 second reaction: hm, interesting. Definitely frame-in-frame material...
    30 seconds reaction: nice idea... artifical, huh?.. Nice artisitic filter to match the painting, OK. Something bothers me... painting shows much more than the rest of the picture does? too much of a dead space below the painting?

    Bottom line: It can be a good start of something, but it's not there yet..ne_nau.gif

    Looking forward for the development...iloveyou.gif

    Hmm...it sure does have an artsy/earthy feel to it ya know...in fact to me it sort of ties both organic and artifical together in some way. Interesting, I'd love to see how this idea develops too.

    same here
    Huh?

    I don't get it.

    I can guess it's for artificial but I'm just not following the line of thought in this one at all, sorry headscratch.gif

    I do really like the artistic look of it though!

    Didn't someone do something similar to this in LPS # 3 or 2 maybe.

    Thanks for the feedback
    The line of thinking here is an "artificial" picture.....a painting of a painting using non-organic oils if you will. It's evident that message isn't clear based on comments the overall image won't cut it. Even cropping, resizing, reshooting won't help this shot. Oh well, off to another idea. Thanks for your honesty!

    Yep, it's interesting... but the background looks to much like it's just PS'ed bokeh.
