finally starting to shoot again

[natatbeach]

working in astudio setting really messed with my head and being able to "see" things---don't know if anyone else has experienced that before...

here's a peony from last night ---messed around with saturation and levels and sharpness a bit...I think the crop works...I posted on crtique for input(something I haven't done in like a year and a half...

Main thing is your shooting again. I've gone through some times like that in the past where I just wasn't shooting anything at all. Keep telling myself I wasnted to but wouldn't do it. I think PR has helped that as much as anything. When I'm on here regularly there is always a source of inspiration. I have shot more in the last few years since being on PR than I did the ten years before.

Good one Nat! Looks like a bunch of tongues sticking out at you!

We miss your creativity perhaps as much as you do. I imagine once you get it flowing, it will be hard to stop!

The image seems a bit tight and that border is well..... hideous.

Seriously, I think that thick black border is distracting, which makes the image seem too tight and crowded to me. Can't explain why, because it can't actually be too tightly shot.

Yup. Baby steps. You'll be back! Nice shot, but I do have to agree about the black border.
