Week Two
Shattered Christmas Dreams
An idea that didn't execute as well as I would have liked. I dropped a Christmas ornament (yes, on purpose) then took pictures of it. At first, I started to clone out all the extraneous "stuff" (the ceiling fan, etc.) but then decided to leave it in because it looked more "natural" that way.
It kind of reminds me of all those Christmasses that don't go quite as planned. The stress, the arguments, etc. Fortunately, my family gets along wonderfully, and it doesn't "apply," but I have friends that *hate* the holidays.
The conversion for this one was done to the RAW image in Digital Photo Professional. Then, I adjusted the contrast and saturation (for the color one) on the JPEG. Also cropped and rotated it. I left the rotation for the two different, just to see if the impact is any different.

I think the reflections of other things is the room does make it look more real. I like the color version best. There are some warm, rich shades.
I agree with faye. The reflections work really well for me. They are easier to pick up in the color version, so I prefer that one as well.
pretty cool... i'm glad you didn't try removing the reflections which give it perspective and help define the shape of the broken ornament.
I like the reflections, it gives a lot to look at. I prefer the b&w.
