This is kinda cool Lenz. It feels like my head is being thrust into this shrub. I think it would look better if it were brightened a bit and maybe with a little more contrast and/or saturation.

Good experimentation!

interesting... I agree with michelle though, the red of the plant should be brought out a lil!

cool experimentation! funny shot

yeah~ interesting shot~
agreed with them too.... a little dark for me too.

Nice to see you experimenting...I like the composition .....and the mood is kind of scary ?....good work as usual...

I agree with Michelle on the red, Cool experiment. I experiment alot love it.

Great idea - is this a rose? Like your perspective, it is a refreshing new way of looking at a bare plant. Good work.

very fun vision... i like some like this concept shots... i have only one BUT:
this colours are very natural but not allways this way it's realy good, i think so this shot look be better in grey tone or maybe in other monochromatic tone with emphasizeing red tone to nearby white... what do U think?

I like where you're goinig with this, but I find that the ground is too busy. If you could somehow isolate the stems some way, it would intensify the perpective. It would be a job to creat a mask in PS, but I think it would be worth it.

Okay, depending on the suggestions of Michelle (and all who suggested the same thing after her) and Andrzej, I'm putting up 2 new versions right now. The Color-improved version will be the one you see above, the b/W version as well as the old version will be linked.

On your point emarts: It definitely would. But I can already see the end of my school holidays at the end of this week and therefore am not looking forward to such a sisyphus work right now - maybe later, when I'm REALLY bored ^^

Okay, got some more comments from Andrzej & am uploading 2 new versions right now - just overweriting my "old new version" as I'm not really satisfied with them.

Hmmm. I don't know how much the addition of color and saturation has improved this Lenz. I thinkI like a black and white better than the original or the new color one. It's not you but it simply appears that there is something missing here. I cannot put my finger on it. It's a good experimentation though. Don't stop doing that.

It needs a spot of color where the "roads" meet. Perhaps yellow petals or something.

But I like this new version much better anyway. Wish I could vote again.

Very Interesting shot, unique angle and great colors!

now looks much better... well done !!!

regards !

I first didn't know what it is, but it's really great. I especially like the colors much better, then in the old one.

This has some great abstract qualities, and I like the final colorscheme that you chose. The black and white is beautiful as well and is my personal favorite.

Beautiful experimental photography here. I love how my eyes are drawn down into the right third of the photo. Good work with the crop.

I like the version you have going here. Its like a mix of B&W yet theres a burst of color in the center. Very nice angle. I love it cause its unique.

I like the red with grey/white....Nice abstract feeling!
