Took this back in Oct. of '05 had several shots but only submitted one...anyways I decided to go in and experiment. I never alter my pics above the normal....I will use like most of you the contrast, auto levels etc. etc. but, I have never altered or played with the hues to change my pics. To be quite honest I am a black&white kind of thinker I tend to follow the rules and never think outside of my box. Not because I haven't wanted to just I tend to stick with what nature presents to me. I am also the same with rules give me them and I will never deviate I have no earthly clue why I am like that. Yes, I know I am weird;P Anyways, I was encouraged after seeing *1bgpaynes' picture ...A Different Color to give it a try and see what I could do. So here it is the only thing changed was the background in the original it was green.

This is stunning! The name is very apt!
I think you were right to make the background blue - it really brings out the "diamonds". It's a wonderful composition, has very good detail, it draws the eye very nicely.

I really like this one! :D

BEAUTIFUL shot!! And just because you altered it a bit, doesnt mean that its not
still photography. you havent really changed anything important in the picture
that destroys the focus of the picture.
:)
awesome.
I agree the blue does make them stand out so much better:nod: Thank you so much:glomp:

:phew: so glad to know it is so hard to figure out what would be considered a manipulation....and everyone has their own opinions on it.

Thank you so much:glomp:

my opinion on photography and manipulating is this: i always do auto fix of the levels and colours and such. i try to not do too much to change the actual photo itself.
but you have to remember, a lot of things that you can do in photoshop, you can do in the darkroom too... ;)
Thank you:glomp: I agree just took *1bgpaynes' pic to show me:hug:

See :ashamed: I have no clue about darkroom photography....I really should have paid attention to my dad. When I was a teenager he was taking photography classes and had set up a darkroom of sorts anyways typical teen ignores the parents:giggle:
