I took this at a friends house because i thought it looked interesting. When i got home, no matter what i did with it i couldnt quiet get it to look like much of a photograph. So lets see who is the most creative amongst us.

No rules other then you have to use the aspargus.

Very creative, Woody! :shock:

Here's my quick and dirty "fix" of the shot. Looks a little better than the original but it's still kind of boring. But, hey, maybe it can be used for an boring asparagus ad. :mrgreen:

[Btw, this was a fix of the posted jpg file, not the full res image.]

Actually, putting pride aside ...

I prefer PacAce's version, obviously inspired by Rembrandt chiaroscuro lighting technique which artfully merges shadows and highlights to dramatize the subject. Here, of course, it works to rescue an otherwise hopeless image.

See this article: http://www.garageglamo​ur.com …iaroscuro/chiar​oscuro.php (external link)

Timmy -- where is your version? :) Where's my prize? And the runner up's prize? :P :P

Hi, Woody,

Thanks for the informative link. I didn't even know there was a name given to the technique I've been empoying in a lot of my images. All I knew was that it looked pleasing to the eye. Now I'm a little more art literate. :D

Timmy, tthe "shadow" effect of the background was created with the use of a mask to exclude the main subject and the Curves adjustment layer. :)

Awesome! What is that effect again? Makes it look like a painting, I keep trying to do that.
