This is so... exquisitly neat!
It looks 3-D, and so colorful. What a neat idea. I personally think the frame goes quite nicely with it. Must

that is an awesome concept... i've never seen anything like it before. i like things that are unique, especially when its something new and impressive. i thought this was just another photo manip when i saw the thumb, but when i read your description i was blown away. i really don't like the frame however. one thing you might try is taking the photo, and making a border by darkening 20 or so pixels of the edges with a white line or something. or taking the edges and making them black and white. just a thought... but still

thanks , one was one of the first photos i submitted to DA and my seemingly most popular. I did a similar photo to this when my dad first got his G5 but with the rainbow concentrated on the BG a bit more and it has normal border (in my gallery somewhere). But people seem to prefer this one. And thanks i might try a darkened part of the image as a border on a future submission

That's a cool effect. You should try it on other things. It works well here because the roses catch different parts of it so well.
I might try this myself, if you don't mind.
I think the frame is a bit much. I suggest giving it a small white border of about 20 pixels and then on a thick black background.

thanks and id enjoy seeing someone else try it.I have been unable to think of anything else that wold benefit from this effect. I took a similar one last week but with a better camera and well its alittle bit different and has a normal looking frame i'll submit it this week. btw use a blank cd-r they seem to give off alot more colour

what an awesome idea. any plans to use this cd-rainbow technique in future photos? i wondered about the frame at first but the more i look at it the more i think it works. im not sure why, maybe a sort of surreal oversaturated thing umm i'll shut up now. but it works!

i found your piece thru :intoxik8: and i can see why he liked it so much, this is an interesting piece with some wonderful depth cues and great results of experimenting with what techniques that you employed. im gonna be honest about the frame, and it IS meant as a compliment... it could so easily be seen as cheapening an image but i gotta be honest... it works really well, it gives the image a very 'everyday' appearance that adds to the deceptively content-rich picture.
well done! be proud!
peace

and when you do, know we will all be silently looking out at you from within the lithe stems and subdued flowers... you'll never be alone again.
sure you still want to print it out and hang it???!!!

That is a very creative picture, the rainbow effect is done very effectively. Heh, the only thing that got me was the frame, I don't know if it cut the picture off, or the picture was kinda cut off to begin with, but to tell you the truth: It still doesn't take away from the overall creativeness/greatness of the photo. Great work.

Great experimentation and it came out so well, one of the best flower photos I've seen for a long time and the frame gives it something and is quite different, very nicely done

Thanks ! i probably could have done this in an image program but it makes me happier inside knowing it came straight of the card. I took atleast 20 images of this and picked this one though the rest were also very pretty. A good advantage of the Digital Camera. (isnt going to mention all the disadvantages)

It's a fantastic piece! Even more impressive considering all the work you put into it. I know what you mean about digital camera's. I got one too (well, it'd getting fixed. In fact, so is my 35mm!). I think the best situation is to carry a good 35mm camera and a digital with you when you go to take pictures. It gives you more flexability.

Frames not bad, but I really like what you did with the shot it self... Very nice.

I think it's great. The colors are perfect. I like it when they come out of the camera and don't need a thing. My penny shot was that way... untouched.
