natura morta
Straight photo, no filters, overlays, or other such things, but I did play with colours and contrast. Long exposure (5 seconds), vase in front of my iMac screen with a fancy screen-saver turned on.

Une superbe réalisation Ursula. La seule question que je me pose, le cadrage n'est-il pas un peu trop serré... Je me sens à l'étroit dans cette image... Mais quelle belle composition et cette tonalité ! Une fois de plus du beau travail assurément, Fernand
Ursula I Abresch  Thank you, Fernand. I like it that you always have extra comments and suggestions :)

This is excellent work Ursula. That background is just amazing, in fact the whole image is.
Ursula I Abresch  Thank you, Scott. I hope you don't think less of it when you find out it's an iMac screen, fancy moving around screen-saver turned on (the background).
Scott Crouse  Nope, don't think any less of it at all, in fact I'm even more impressed - shows great imagination. ;-)

Very beautiful Ursula, I'm at a big loss on how you did the background!
Ursula I Abresch  Thank you, Ralf. I always wanted to try a long exposure of something transparent in front of a moving around screen-saver (that's what makes the weird background, and lights the glass).
Ralf Stelander 4 years ago
Oh well I was gonna reject it, but on the other hand it's kind of just ultra-cool! ;) /Crew
