Night Dining

This image was taken at Butterfly World – Florida.

Modifications in CS4 included; Invert, Find Edges, Ink Outline, Black BG Layer and Brightness & Contrast adjustment.

Enjoy!

Mark, I like the composition and the glowing edges. It's a lot of black- you could try to make the white outline around the frame a little larger if you wanted a different look. But I'm sure that was not your vision. Nicely done.:)

Mark, I like this as presented - the colours are so pretty and are offset nicely by the black IMHO :)
Best,
Nicki

Thank you Denise and Nicki for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

Yes, Denise, I like to keep that line as simple as possible ... just to show the frame element ... not become part of the image. But appreciate your comments, as always! ;) :D They always give me something to think about, whether or not we agree. ;)

Nice vibrant outlines Mark and nice and simple. Agree with D on the frame and might try adding white or thinning out the border a bit. Find all the black a bit overwhelming.

Mark, I like it as presented. I love the glowing colors contrasting with the black. It's a neat image:)

Thanks Jackie and Cheryl for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

As you note, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and different strokes for different folks. ;)

I appreciate both views, but for this image prefer the black to let the colors flow out.

Thanks again ... appreciate it.

Very interesting effect, Mark, creating a simple line drawing on black. I like it a lot. :) Nice colors and comp.

Thanks Christopher for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

I do like the simple lines with the bright colors, Mark. I think the black works here. Thanks for including your steps.

Thanks Cindy for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.
