Mirror, Mirror, Colour

[madshutterbug]

Based on feedback, I'm going to theorise that the colour version of this one is going to work better than the monochrome B&W. As to why Flickr didn't want to play nice yesterday, I've no theories. However, this constitutes yesterday posting, sort of, which means that if Flickr plays nice this evening from home, there may be another in this series.

I've been going through both archived work and the new pieces from Sunday selecting ones to work up for this.

Much better

And can see you in the ball this time. Couldn't figure that out in the B&W.

I still find the green at the back of teh ball a bit monochromatic - but then again it might be my screen. I'd be tempted to crop it in line with the M of your surname - just as thats where the foliage changes in the top third and its a bit jarring.

Yes, definitely better -- all that greenery which is nicely varied in color was about the same tone, which made it hard to read in that version (and I will answer the question from yesterday, but probably not until tonight, should be on the road already...)

If you can do non-standard sizes, than I would play with cropping a bit (using the good old hold pieces/corners of paper method up works well I find, as I feel like there is a stronger composition in there trying to get out but I'm not exactly sure which edge it is that my eye wants to go away....

I think it still needs cropping, it's a very "busy" composition. I'd pick one reflecting surface (ball or water) and roll with it.

beautiful

This one does link the ball and the pond rather better, through the colour of the sky reflected in both.
