Something different; does it work?

[Katie Rupp]

To me, this has a very asian feel; I like it but I'm not sure about the composition. Does it need more room? What's missing? (I think it's begging for a Chinese character in the llc). Or does it just not work? Comments and Help appreciated:confused:

[Cheryl Flory]

to me, it looks like summer! have you tried it with a little bit of the twig/dark areas much blacker? would that give it some depth? something to anchor it?

I really like it.

[Harold Davis]

i think it absolutely works!!! i might suggest a little more contrast to give it some more definition. the chinese character in a corner is a personal preference, but not a bad idea!! love the treatment. very nice job!!

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Very original. Agree with Harold on adding a little more contrast

[Gus Cobos]

Lady Katie,
I like it as presented. Very soft, very delicate, simple and elegant. Now, tell me how you composed it, need to see the techs. congrats...:cool:

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Agree with it needing more contrast, bringing out the darks more. I think you have found your style though in this painterly technique Katie.

[Katie Rupp]

Gus, I could give you the techs for capturing the photo but I can't tell you what I did in photoshop becuz I don't remember!! I was playing around one evening, using filters, saturation and different effects and this is where I ended up, And, of course I didn't write it down and I don't see it in the history...is there a way to find that information? I have the Tiff file still.

[Desmond Chan]

I think it works, Katie, but personally I don't see it as a photograph anymore. It's a pretty image for sure. If you want it to look like some Chinese painting, then I would suggest leave the contrast level as is.

[Alfred Forns]

I like it a lot Katie I think tilting it a little would look even better !!!

I think you used the TMLTLAN filter :)

[Katie Rupp]

okay, Alfred, I give...what is TMLTLAN?

[Beth Goffe]

Katie, this is really pretty and elegant-looking. I wouldn't mind seeing a series of these with different colored subjects. Nice job, even if it was kind of accidental. ;)

[Lance Peters]

Hi Katie - works for me - a litle more contrast though for my personal taste.
:)

Katie, this is just gorgeous! It would be fun to try printing it on different types of artistic printer paper - like canvas or watercolor paper.

Not knowing how to reproduce it makes it unique!

This is really cool, Katie!! Cool enough, IMO, that altho you already have lots of comments, I still had to stop to add my admiration! Sure would be nice if you remembered what you did!! It does have an Asian feel, with or without a Chinese character added. And I think it looks fine with the space as is, but would also maybe look good, but a little different, with lots of white space surrounding it. Good job!!
