Your opinion? The Dryad's Mask

Hi,

More high key macro, this time a little more abstract and creative. I used the same techniques I have posted about, a little Photoshop and this is the results, it is still a concept and work in progress but I like it so far, hope you do as well

That's something which seems to me more like piece of art ? I guess you used Photoshop after you took the photo? I like more left side than right side, because of colours. The blue colour on black background is great match in my opinion.

This is so totally a masterpiece of artwork with an ode to Nature ... so very beautiful and well done

Thank you very much Jack. I duplicated the right side, flipped it over and did some LAB channel inversion in photoshop. I was going for a night/day theme. I want to use something more natural for the handle and perhaps add a petal border to the photo, thanks for your comments

Glad you like it Greg Shchepanek, let's see if I can develop it a bit further, thank you for your comments

You achieved very nice photo. Also, on the right hand, is that a stick?

I'm really impressed about your results but I don't like the fading background. I would only use a black one although I know the reason why you've faded it. But of course very creative!

Thanks Helix_2648, I have been trying to figure out a good way of showing both the natural and the LAB inverted version into a single picture. Normally I would simply show the before and after but that won't work for this style. I can make the background all black and still keep the same colours everywhere else so that is an option, so many colour combinations using the LAB channel inversion trick. I have already shot new components to add this scene so in the next one I will get a chance to play with the background and see if can improve on it. Thank you very much for your comments
