Blazing Grasses

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted January 16, 201080 views8 comments

My first post here! This is a vertical panning shot of some grasses. The grass did have many colors, but needless to say I really brought out some of the colors to a greater extent than what I saw

All I did was increase saturation and contrast so traces of all these colors were present.

Taken outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico this past summer.

Elliot, this is a beautiful abstract. I love all the different colors. You brought the colors out to just the right intensity - while being vibrant they are not nuclear.

I love everything about it, especially how the colors on either side echo each other

Very nice abstract. I think bar codes should be in color now!

Pretty colors, but it doesnt really connect with me. It does remind me of a bar code on acid, though, so i guess its not a bad graphic.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Stan and Bruce - I love the barcode idea, hadn't thought of it before. I'm tempted to go with Stan and change the title to Bar Code on Acid...
