Description UF5. Lots of detail so...***Please Full View***

Used the Trap the Light Fantastic formula (tma.ucl). This was an older file I decided to see if I could improve on. Kept textures relatively simple (for me ) and worked on the light and shadow a lot more.

I'v noticed lately that the thumbnails on the last few of my posts appear far less saturated than full view...don't know why this is but it's frustrating because not everyone will full view and see the true colors in the image.

Nice mix of hi-tech and organic - the deep muted colours with the textures and 'caught light' lend a deeply serious feeling to it

Very nice use of textures and colors. For me background look like folds of cloth.
Dull look on low resolution is caused by downsampling. What you see on full resolution image as lighter and darker shades of texture on low resolution is mixed and it turns into flat gray that desaturates your image. I think you can't avoid it.
That's why I always take a look at fullsize image

Thank you...someone pointed out to me that I can set my images to always open in full view so that's what I'm gonna do .

"(I have my deviations set to open up at full view )"

Well duh...don't know why I haven't done it that way...I'll remedy that right now.

I think its the best way if you have a fast enough connection. For those still on slower connections, or dial-up, it would take them forever to see anything at all though..
