All right, digital darkroom masters, I need your critique and suggestions on this! I think it's wonderful, but of course, I would.. I have an inflated ego!! Can't wait to hear from you! #464162

Melissa G. Meiselman June 13, 2006

I think it is great, too!!! #2891514

Jagadeesh Andrew Owens June 13, 2006

Thanks Melissa! #2891521

Beverly A. Wright June 13, 2006

I think it's brilliant! #2891720

Martin Witt June 13, 2006

I like it! Its got great texture and patterns! Good composition and colors too. Great shot. #2891846

Kay Beausoleil June 13, 2006

Great concept, execution and impact, Sipho!

My one gripe: the title needs work. Do you really want people looking for the bag, saying "oh yeah, it's a nutshell allright" and muttering "what on earth did he do to the chopsticks?" The image stands so well on its own, if it were mine, I wouldn't want to kill it with verbiage. I'd let people ask if they really have to know. Just a thought. #2891903

Melissa G. Meiselman June 13, 2006

Kay has a good point! #2892116

Jagadeesh Andrew Owens June 13, 2006

Yes, she most certainly does!! See the new title! #2892194

Jagadeesh Andrew Owens June 13, 2006

Thank you Bev, Martin, and Kay; Most ESPECIALLY Kay, who spelled 'verbiage' correctly. It really makes me hot when that word is correctly spelled... #2892207

Kay Beausoleil June 13, 2006

LOL! There's plenty more where "verbiage" came from -- it's a common word in French, which I speak most of the time.

Now about "de madera"?! It's not in my Spanish dictionary, and my last Latin class was in 1960, so heaven knows. IIRC, there's a Madera somewhere in California. Then we have Option Z: a made-up word for an abstract image. Like that one. #2892326

Jagadeesh Andrew Owens June 14, 2006

I promise you, Kay, it's Spanish. Not made up! What type of dictionary are you using?? LOL #2895440

Kay Beausoleil June 14, 2006

A crummy one. Unlike your image. #2896825
