Description
I took this while waiting for our lunch to arrive at a local seafood restaurant yesterday (a very tasty crab & shrimp sandwich). I wasn't satisfied with the original shot, so postworked it to flatten it & heighten the effect of the lighting...
Please zoom.

Good work and a great result.
Beautiful !!
Wonderful, and well done on the postwork!
cool ship !'lovely composition
I like what you did with your postwork! The soft color and all the detail are wonderful. Nicely done! Crab and shrimp? With melted cheese, maybe? Mmmmmm ... sounds delicious! :)
Marvelous post work, love it!
I love this with your postwork choice, it really jumps out! Well done!
great capture and postwork
you not only flattened it, you made it appear as if seen pressed inside of glass, or almost a stained glass piece. It also has etching elements. I wonder if the original was exciting, or if you made it so by transforming it. In your image, it's quietly electric, with all those 'tension' lines and markings (the dots and crevices all over the piece). And the big black splotches wind up looking a bit like Chinese/Japanese characters (calligraphic characters, I mean), painted-on like the poems painted on Chinese landscapes. The hues are intensified too. It's no secret how much I love your postwork; this is another example. A really fine job, Claude. (It would be entertaining if that captain took a shot of you and postworked you, and posted it for his statuary friends on a statuary website. "I wasn't crazy about the original, so I postworked it. Hope you enjoy..." The old routine about someone else making art out of us. And viewers saying, "yeah, humans are stiff, but this pic is great...") Love what you did here.
I like the old sailing vessel.
