September 12th, 2016  
I can't imagine how this could be improved on... you've certainly excelled here.
September 12th, 2016  
Really well-done. Bet it was a nightmare! :)
September 12th, 2016  
Awesome shot

Lou
You crack me up.
September 13th, 2016  
I love photographing landscapes and am just a little good at it sometimes but as me to take a people picture and I just want to take it and move on. But I might wish my people shots to be as good as this.
September 13th, 2016  
Love how you created this effect!
September 13th, 2016  
Excellent!
September 13th, 2016  
I do like it and the idea --- I do wish there was a little more contrast to it. If you didn't write down yolking I would have more trouble knowing what i was looking at. Nice job for the challenge.
September 13th, 2016  
cheating or not, it's a fabulous white on white.
September 13th, 2016  
This looks perfect on my phone but appears to have too little contrast on my laptop. I guess it's just one of those images. It's definitely eggcellent work though.
September 14th, 2016  
The simple images are the hardest. NICELY DONE!!
September 14th, 2016  
@LaLa tx Lala - that's helpful feedback... i really struggle with white on white since i have a tendency to prefer extremes in contrast :)
September 14th, 2016  
Sue
I just admire the effort you put into your compositions. This is just so unusual. I love it. Fav
September 15th, 2016  
Amazing! xx
September 15th, 2016  
wonderful in idea, comp, light and processing
September 16th, 2016  
I think the contrast level works just fine - dreamy high key. Initially I thought I would not have composed quite so tightly or used 4:5 ratio, but that's just my eye I think. Fineart purists probably agree with you ....I always fine image 'balance' a tough one. A great image - & tx for pushing me to reflect at a higher level.
September 18th, 2016  
@ltodd I think I would normally have left a bit more space around the subject, and possibly gone with a 9x16 aspect ratio... but my sweep and white screen are quite small and so wouldn't have allowed for that :)

But I really didn't give it that much thought... These kind of shots are a huge struggle for me because I don't quite know what they are about...

@northy I know what you mean about limitations due to background size - I have started using PS content aware scale & fill a lot - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IIsTVT0Fhc (see @ 3 mins)

The worst art I have ever seen is "white on white" in the National Gallery of Australia!! http://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/review/public-works-robert-hunters-minimalistic-white-on-white/news-story/6c664386f2c6a8366a175980178ba39c .........seriously?!!

"conjures with the idea of transcendence and the experience of impermanence as our eyes adjust to perceiving the barely perceptible changes in tone".....

......really? ;-D
September 18th, 2016  
@ltodd hmmm.... Kinda like "the emperor's new clothes" ;p
September 18th, 2016  
@ltodd although... This gives me an idea for something to try one day when I have too much time on my hands..
