A true artist you certainly are....you can make anything look beautiful. :)
Very nice work Andrea.
I have to agree with the others!!!
Fantastic post work. There are all sorts of things going on here. Some of these look like weathered rocks. And the flickr image is very interesting although I'm afraid it will put me off my poppy seed bagel.
Interesting & artistic postwork as always, but in this case I like the non-postworked closeup even better...
Now they look to pretty to compost. Well spotted and colored.
seed pods for the Body Snatchers?
Great image and postwork
Ace abstract Andrea :)
fascinating
lol. Mark and poppy seed bagels. Yes, the flickr version does look a little like one...I like both versions, and we've seen those surfaces before in your gallery (the non-postworked one). Your postworked one is like a study of objects where the camera finds all the demarcations of differing degrees of heat. Something like that. A very scientific image. And a beautiful treatment; and the deep black which surrounds the gourds is a perfect backdrop. It's flat and yet full. A beautiful transformation, Andrea. I really like this. (I hope all my comments in one sitting don't send you to a long nap! I don't think of what it's like to read all these, I just try to write them. If you need a refund, contact the Returns dept. You have 30 days, or else you only get 50%...not a funny bit, but I haven't got a lotta taste, so...)
Your postwork seems to show the life still left in them, the "bones" of the cells that will go into the compost to energize a new generation of life. Well done!
