Inspired by Tancor. This shot was taken using existing light, no color manipulation whatsoever. and a real departure for me. This Dragon belongs to my Wife, its her pride and Joy. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this one.

Very interesting looking Dragon. I'm seeing a lot of reflected colors from this one, must be a powerful Dragon. ;)

Thanks Brian. this one is interesting because all of the color came from the dragon itself. only white light was used. thanks again.:D :D :D

Hi,

Sorry I wasn't able to post last night, I had to take care of some things aftermy last post last night and I didn't have a chance to check the board until this morning.

Very nice colors in this one - Of the two - I like the colors more in this one, but I like the dimensionality (sp?) better of the other one. The colors of the dragon are much more powerful here, but it seems to loose some of the feel for the piece from the black background.

I love that dragon head, it's a pitty it's no longer a whole dragon, I would have loved to have seen it in all of its glory.

-Tony

Are the colours reflected or the result of diffraction? Nontheless, nice to look at.

Very pretty, hard for me to figure out exactly what I am looking at, was it sitting on a mirror?
