Hi Daniel,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. It really isnt hard to learn this, if it is something you are interested in.

Snap away!  I wish I knew what to do with pics like this!  Looks fascinating...

and your foot is VERY different from your sister's too.

Lightly, Daniel  Cool

Prosaic,

There was something about this shot that drew me in but I couldnt quite put my finger on it. The grain of the wood is what first caught my eye, then my Sister's pretty sandals. I had shoes on but I pulled it off for the shot. I was thinking bare wood/bare feet - there just seemed to be some connection. When I snapped it everyone thought I was a bit crazy and I also expected to delete it but it turned out to be one of my favorite shots in my growing collection. I agree completely with the corner part needing to be edited further, it does distract. Thanks so much for the compliment, much appreciated!

Diane

PS I dont leave home without my camera anymore and the great part is people are getting used to me having it and snapping away so I am getting better candid shots of my family as well! I have read this before but now I see what they mean, it really does work. My teenage son usually always hides his face when a camera is around but hasnt been doing that to me at all lately.

Hi Diane,

I do have the benefit of reading Nas's comments and your reply, both of which may have influenced me. Sorry.

This is startling in that the dead wood planks have a grain which makes one think of sap; of life. By contrast the feet - which one assumes may well be living - are blank; they appear dead. It is a fantastical and somewhat surreal reversal of one's intuition.

I wish I had made this.

My only advice would be to remove the top-right texture, as I feel it somewhat confuses the message I took. It may, of course, add to other messages. I would simply blank it out (black) else copy the wood grain (convincingly).

But, that aside, this is fab; well done.

Hi Nas,

I do like the effect also. I think it works esp well on this pic because it brings out the grain in the wood, which is what prompted me to take the shot.

Hi Diane

A very interesting effect on this photo.  I like the black with glowing white edges.
