jban99 Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #2 · #307 Coil I really like this picture Yakim! The lighting and shape of the coil with its multiple repetitions and the silver, gold and rust coloring really add a great 3D effect to the picture You might want to clone out the two tiny pieces of resin(?) near the center.

Photon Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #3 · #307 Coil Yakim, this is superb! I don't mind the bits of "detritus" on various parts of its body. They help keep the look "real", at the same time that it has some of the look of an artificial mechanical structure (which is part of the charm). I've enjoyed reading about the genetic mechanisms involved in formation of body structures with multiple segments, which makes it all the more fun to see such a great example, and a fine work of art.

Strad Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #5 · #307 Coil Fantastic shot, Yakim! The glowing, metallic color and the coiled composition is tremendous! Yikes! I didn't know such creatures live in Israel. All best wishes, Endre Aug 26, 2008 at 11:53 PM

Yakim Peled Online Image Upload: On p.1 #7 · #307 Coil Thanks for all the positive remarks. After shooting it I was a bit sorry that I had to use flash (I prefer natural light) and that the debris was so evident. However, I did not have many choices. Light was scarce, deadline was near (10 minutes to shoot, 5 minutes to choose the pic, 1 minute to crop and sharpen) and I just had to "get the shot". I am very surprised (and obviously, very glad) to see that despite these deficiencies, it still came out rather good in your eyes. BTW, about removing the debris in PP, I would have done it but I don't know how. All I know in PP is to crop, sharpen and remove noise (DPP). Happy shooting, Yakim.

warp10 Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #8 · #307 Coil Yakim - Very nice. I don't mind the flash at all, the reflections probably add to the repetitions. Nicely done. Steve Aug 27, 2008 at 10:11 AM

Yakim Peled Online Image Upload: On p.1 #9 · #307 Coil Many thanks Steve. Maybe it's because I took the flash to the side, used FEC-1 and a diffuser. I wanted to lessen it's effect. In any case, I am very happy to see that it has not ruined the pic and even add some "flavor" to it. You see, I am far from being a flash expert so I was very nervous. Happy shooting, Yakim.

Bruce Jones Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #10 · #307 Coil Dang, this looks like something out of the movie, "Alien!' Very nicely done. Aug 28, 2008 at 11:20 AM

Yakim Peled Online Image Upload: On p.1 #11 · #307 Coil Much obliged Bruce. I must admit that after looking again at the texture and lighting I see an alien as well. It's funny how you think of one thing and then another person makes you see other things as well. I like it. BTW, my original inspiration came from the Ammonite fossils. Happy shooting, Yakim.

seechelle Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #12 · #307 Coil Very interesting shot, Yakim. I find the longer I look it - the more I like it. FM has helped me appreciate photos of insects and little critters, etc. -- Coming from a female, that's saying a lot! Good luck, Chelle Aug 29, 2008 at 01:14 AM

Yakim Peled Online Image Upload: On p.1 #13 · #307 Coil Hi Chelle, Coming from you it's a real compliment. I wish my wife could see it that way…. Happy shooting, Yakim. Edited on Aug 30, 2008 at 11:39 AM Aug 30, 2008 at 11:38 AM
