Chillimonsters 52 for 2010 - Week 1 - Curved

Spotted this while out an about with the kids for a snowy walk.

Its actually the snow covered top of a gravestone. The green on the stone is moss, and the light was making it glow a really nicely saturated green.

took me several seconds to see what it was even with the description
my eyes wanted to see it as an archway - but the snow was on the inside:thinking:

lovely bright green as you say :thumbs:

(background is a tad fussy for me though - sorry!)

I know what you mean about the background - if i had the GF1 with me it would have been way OOF, but only had the TZ7 with me as it was a snowman making trip :D

Thanks dave :)
 
very nice image...
 
The green really does stand out i like it. Maybe if you tries blurring or burning the background it might stand out even more.

I like it, didn't have the first clue what it was till I read the description. Mebbe blur the bg a bit in photoshop or similar, but I like it anyway, the greens really stand out. Did you use flash to bring them up?

I might go and re-do it tomorrow with the GF1 to blur the BG a little.

As for flash - i dunno?? Its fully auto, so it might have fired (if it did it was too bright outside to notice anyway)

Off to re-take it tomorrow (its only 20 yards from my front door so not too far to go :) )
 
At first I thought it was the lid of a green garbage tank, until i read the description..Nice one!
 
Took me a while, but yeah I see it Chris, nice one, off to a cracking start ;)
 
Wow that green really stands out, As others have said may look better with a shallower DOF.
 
The close framing works well and that green is WOW.
 
Hi Chris,

Really interesting shot - it took me a while to figure it out and it's playing havoc with my eyes. It keeps changing from convex to concave and then back to just a gravestone again !!!!

As an abstract it works really well. Fantastic detail in that green moss, but as has already been said the background does distract a bit.
I think it would still make an on-theme and interesting shot as a more conventional gravestone shot, showing the whole thing. In fact I think you could get away with the background more with the whole stone in shot.
 
Very vivid green Venomator would love this one :lol: as with the others without the description I would have been left still guessing what it was. Very different and works well :thumbs:
 
Wow Chris, that took me several looks, even with the description to work out what it was, and even knowing it still looks very unusual :thumbs: a great start.
 
Very different and quite abstract, even after the explanation it still looks abstract!

Good effort!
 
Hey Chris, what's happened here... didn't even realise you'd started a 52!
