Very nice, Jane! Just enough detail in the can so as not to overpower the image. I like the balance. What format did you use for the original? I've been trying out photoshop with jpeg and was thinking of trying to start with RAW instead. I'm tryng to keep my head from being overloaded with everything you can do with it. I still can't get used to just shooting and shooting and not have to worry about wasting film!!!!

Jane........consider this a comment on your comment on my comment
being the minimalistic person that i am, i'm ok if ignored
(ok...i'm lying)
anyways.....................i like the watering can image, fits the theme well. The fun in the image is the cropping, when i look at it i picture the rest of the object in various ways.
very nice
as always

Yes, somehow I didn't think you were very "minimalistic" You are a true frien to come back and "re-commnet".

I've really had a hard time this week, deciphering people's 'understanding' of minimalism. No trouble with yours. Minimalism is all about stripping right down to the fundamental features or structures. The greys & background really enhance that, especially the curve. Bravo.
Thanks, Suse. It has been an interesting week, as you say "decifering" what is minimalistic. Robert and I have had fun discussing the various ways it could be interpreted. Thanks for stopping by!! And I love yours BTW

Hi Dave! Here's my advice on the jpeg vs raw--DIVE ON IN, DAVE!! Don't let the power of PS intimidate you. Scott Kelby's group puts out some wonderful DVDs on PS and I would highly recomment buying every one of them. They are invaluable in getting to the meat and potatoes. I never shoot in anything other than raw and am so glad I bit the bullet and tried my hand at PS. I think the program is so powerful, that even the programmers and engineers who designed the program don't know all it can do . That said, it it worth it to have a go at it a little at a time. Robert and I always say that we have a very high regard for film photographers. I couldn't afford to shoot film

I love the form and shape of the watering can and the way you've captured it. The B/W adds even more the the minimalism. Very nice Jane.
