Before Editing "Ball of Wood"

This is straight out of the camera. I didn't like the floor and was too lazy to take it outside onto some gravel so I thought I'd see what would happen after playing with the contrast, exposure and brightness. Here's the AFTER version...

Oh wow you did so much to it! I loved it after, the darkness really made it pop

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[Simply Amanda]

It is a cool decorative item and great for photos, too!!

This is quite the artistic driftwood art project!

[Phil]

Love the darker shot but I love the feeling of the bleached wood here too. Hope to see it again :)

[Sue Hawkins]

I like both of these shots for different reasons cool example of how different one subject can look.

[Paul King]

Stunning detail love the bleached effect !

[Humphrey Hippo]

Very cool subject. Think if I came across one, it would go in my 'box to take pix of' too. :)

[Nicole Campbell]

I like both photos, such a unique piece of artwork

[Wendy]

Thanks so much for sharing the "before" and "after." While I love the way this version features the details of the sculpture itself, your editing makes for a much more moody and dramatic presentation!

[Jennifer]

This is cool too but the after is superb.

They are both really cool but I actually like this one better. There is something in the muted tones that just make my eye happy.
