    Macro Abstract

    I shot this macro of velcro a day or two ago.. I decided to try some layering and stuff in photoshop. The original is just black and white, pure white bg. I think adding the clouds/green huge to hook side may be a bit much as the original image seems to allow for a little more imagination.

    Re: Macro Abstract

    Sorry, caleb. Not doing anything for me.
    Three horizontal bands of subject that don't seem to be related and within each band no matter where I look it is the pretty much the same.
    I do think it could be used for a background or something and it is just personal of what I like to look at.
    Hopefully someone will find more merit than I.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: Macro Abstract

    After posting, I think this needs something else, perhaps better clouds or a horizon line above the hooks. Maybe this won't work no matter what. The "clouds" seem like they won't fit in at all without a lot of adjustment

    Hey, thanks for the comments anyway frog. It feels impossible to look at my own recently taken photographs with an unbiased eye.

    You could try this in a vertical format and see what happens and possibly a small person at
    bottom looking up.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Re: Macro Abstract

    it's a good thing you mentioned what theis was a picture of. i probably would have took me a bit to figure it out.

    i do think that it is an interesting pic because i've never seen a macro of velcro before. but, at the same time, after i've looked at it i don't feel the need to look at it again.

    it's definitely a good idea though.
