Thanks alot !

Mhuni is right - I really liked the effect of water. At the same time it took away may attention from the lily. My eye even didnt get to the light water left top.... You went further, Martin ! Thanks !

I also tried to leave some of the tones (desaturating) but I was not good on it Should I use sth else ?

John, what does mean "definition in dark parts of lily" ?

Mike, yes, it is nice in color. But this time I somehow prefer BW. I even do not know why.
To give you the idea, I post the original too.
Barrie, original explanes also why it looks like negative

wow, how many answers !
Thanks!
Yep, Spider, I might have hit the nail on the head, but I didnt know what to do next. Hmm,some brain injury happened maybe.

Mike, the hinge is there as if on a shelf - put ON the nails (on the wall)
I already tried different compositions, with and without the hinge, portrait and landscape. But I must wait the right light now.
What looks good in bright light, may not work in evening soft light.

Meanwhile I give a clue to dr. Mhuni. I wondered if anyone notices
The flare along the nail is better seen in direct light:

What is wrong ?
Composition is a problem for me here.
Should I remove the hinge and shoot again ?
another angle?

(I was for textures)

The story cant be seen here. It should be understood from the photo, not from your description.
1. I cant understand that there is a graveyard !!!
2. I have no idea what the PotatoHead is or how recent toy it is.
1. is main problem of course, if you are interested in the story.

If you cant get the theme (graveyard-story) on the photo then look, what is interesting about the TOY itself. Close up - moss, teeth, broken nose or what it is.

not much use of my comment

The forum IS a multylayer mentor system !

It is the main reason for me to be here ! So many excellent teachers !
I have got lot of good advice from here.



Just a pity that I cant meet you in real life. It would be defenetly exciting to be "a shadow" for several members here - even only for couple of hours

I like the blu cracked paint and the stone wall ! All that is above the roof is not needed actually - try to make a crop.
