Description **Full view please**
Broken hearts
shattered past
which couldn`t be healed.
I would take
what I had earned
those lessons I had learned.
I was ready
for the ride on the avenue
so you could take me
to the water's edge
and drop me in.
I was drowning
but I couldn`t show you
what I had seen.
Just let everyone know
I would come home again...
(c)Karen E.L

Inspired by: Garden Soul and dreams...
I took this shot under the sea this afternoon.Then I desaturated it and toned it in PS.
All comments are appreciated.

That's really lovely. I love the color tone and the fact that the picture is a little taken back, it draws even more attention to the flowers.

TrappedChild [2005-08-16 12:46:23 +0000 UTC]

very nice, crisp, nice contrast, interesting colours but yet again I'm going to nail you on your perspective... What can you do to make this a better photograph? Look hard, I find artists I critique a lot can improve all their photos in a similar way and I'm not the artist so I really don't know deep down how to improve it unless it's speficially technical relating to like shutter speed, DOF, etc.

a-place-of-hiding In reply to TrappedChild [2005-08-16 15:30:49 +0000 UTC]

Mmm,it's another problem which actually bugged me.
I was trying to focus on the sigmals of the pefume lily(thats the name for that lily).Then I tried to get it sharp.I am not sure if it makes sense to you tho.But I would like to try more to see how much I can improve in my future shots.Thank you again!
Well,there is a question from me.Are u major in critique?No offense here,please.Cos you know you can study photo critique in college.

TrappedChild In reply to a-place-of-hiding [2005-08-16 16:14:07 +0000 UTC]

When you mean am I critique major are you asking it in a good or bad way? Seriously I wawnt some feedback on my critique sytle.

By the way, I'm not a critique major I'm in 10th grade ... I'm just very artistic and insightful.

Well,it's in a good way.Cos your questions are not cliches.I meant I actually appreciate all the comments that I get every day, however I have found yours are unique in the way I like.It is not just by saying'wow,this is beautiful,awesome or such'.As I said when I read your questions I could see you were thinking when you looked photos,I think it is the good habit that each artist should have.
Wow,you are quite young.You see things differently which is in a good way.I am glad to meet you in DA!

very nice

ive been wondering how do you get the blue look ?
you just photoshop it blue, or do you use an infrared lens or anything ?

a-place-of-hiding In reply to djmirage [2005-08-16 15:24:09 +0000 UTC]

Nope,I only used in photoshop.But it's kind of mixture of different blues.I love playing with colors,especially when I feel them!Thank you!
