Balance

[Ramesh Adkoli]

These dew drops seems to strike a balance with the grass blades. Was shot in the early morning sun and you see some lens flare in spite of using a hood.

i found that Camera Raw does not do a true conversion of NEF raw files. It flattened the contrast and colors. Got frustrated juggling with it. Converted the NEF to JPEG in VIEWNX and did some minimal processing in CS3 with levels and selective colors.

Appreciate your views and comments.

Hey Ramesh, I like this comp, good diagonal lines, and I like the amount of negative space. The BG like like it has a few faint orbs that I would clone out, it looks like scracthes in the BG. Well done.

Ramesh, Very nicely "balanced" comp! Great looking image and I agree w/ Mike regarding the orbs in BG. Nicely done and would make a nice large print.

[Mike Fuhr]

Very interesting shot -- it really keeps you attention.

[Danny J Brown]

Nice image Ramesh. Definitely has a modern art quality to it that I like.

[Ramesh Adkoli]

Thanks, Mike, Denise, Mike and Danny for your kind words. Mike, i noticed those broken orbs during processing. Will take care of it.

regards,
ramesh

What a fun image! Two diagonal lines crossing, two water drops, all in tones of green. Nice! You already know about the BG that needs cloning.

I can't answer your question about RAW conversion as I just don't know much about it. I hope someone does respond

Very nice image, beautiful and "fancy" composition. I think it could not be better, nothing to add.
I agree with Denise about this image as a beautiful large print. Thanks for sharing.
