The Q-Tip Experiment

this is me, the nerdy scientist and a q-tip that I electrified.
Composite of 7 images.

thanks for looking and c/c....not part of week's theme

What caught my eye immediately was the lighting-I like it alot. Very cool effect for the Q-tip. Did you use a plug-in for that. You did a great job putting this together. It's very creative!! Is that really you?

Dave, Nice effect with soft, warm lighting. I also like the electrified look coming off the q tip. For my taste there is a bit too much neg space on the left and I would crop out a portion...

This is creative. Nice effect. Lightening up or cropping the dark space may improve this even further IMHO.

very creative , lovely light effect

Thanks Denise, that is really my head and thanks guys.....points noted
Original has shadow detail on left that seems to have gotten lost in jpg compression.

Good to see you use your head!!! (sorry I couldn't resist):D:p

Hi dave, I think the crop is an improvement! Again, very creative!

I didn't get this at first...lol..thought it was a lightbulb...very creative as always..lightning effect (I'll have to check that out)...I may have cropped it, leaving more of tree on right but crop improves image

Dave and Paul.....FYI, the crop was to shadow there was detail in the left side negative
space that was mentioned. The crop was not intended as a comp improvement, but glad it
worked that way....thanks guys
