I had no illusions about this submission whatsoever. The moment i decided that the most suitable gallery for it would be Digital Art, i knew i was in trouble :) Anyway, i had fun doing this.
I like digital art. What i don't like is pictures posturing as photographs because they had some cheap and easy photoshop gimmicks, beyond normal post-processing, applied to them.
Helene? Is that you? Never woulda guessed this was yours. Good for you for being able to shift gears like this. About the pic: Your reds seem to blend a little down at the bottom, and the cable has kind of a surreal green to it. It may be that the neat image did it. I like that you went hard on the contrast, not just for the challenge but because it works. This is a really fun picture. saw the title before the pic - you got me.
