Supernatural - Lion Heartby `l8

Customization / Wallpaper / HDTV & Widescreen

Title:
Supernatural - Lion Heart
(Wallpaper Version)

Comment:
A Dandelion Seed Head. The natural turned supernatural. A macro shot of one of natures wonders but with a twist of artistic licence. If you're wondering about the name I've called them there mostly the names of molecules. I was struggling on the names so I turned to Google and the rest is history

Critique by !thebigG2005 May 2, 2009, 12:09:00 PM

Here goes my first critique.
Overall it has a wonderful contrast with the stunning reds, mixed with the almost ghost like whites and greys of the seed head.

The depth of field is very good, it enhances the whole dandelion head, making it stand out. It grabs your attention. Sitting in my message centre it shines out a red beacon at sea.

A wonderful technique too, the change in colours makes it seem like a futuristic discovery program shot.

The title "lion heart" seems to be an ideal choice as you can almost make out a heart shape in the seed head. I know its incredibly hard to control how many seeds stay on the head, but the left side seems a little light of seeds, if it had more in certain areas the heart shape would have really grabbed you attention.

My last point is maybe if the red seed heads were slightly transparent, it would look cool, and add to the science feel of this piece.

Once again l8, you have delivered a stunning deviation. Well done.

What do you think?

I love how you have used the complimentary colours of the red and green-blue. Although being a tertiary blue it really brings out the red as the foreground, rather than taking away from the focal point.

nice work
