    Default Theme: A Giant Alien Fly!!!



    Took this last year. After converting to B&W, I added a greenish tone to the fly and a reddish tone to the ground to give it sort of a martian feel. Any C&C are welcome!

    Interesting use of shadows Christopher :) Certainly looks like it is from another world. Just to see what it looked like I rotated it 90 degrees clockwise so that the fly faced to the left and the shadow was below and thought it had more impact ?

    Christopher, Has a real sci-fi look to it! I like Tell's idea of a rotation. Actually the beauty of this image is it could work any way you rotated it! I like the shadow on a diagonal.

    And just for the heck of it, I tried rotating it 90 degrees CCW too. Now I'm not sure which version I like best! LOL! Thanks for the suggestion!

    Like the second rotation Christopher, and also like the idea of using another filter to make it look more menacing. Maybe B and W as Dave suggests, solarize, just some ideas.
