Interesting image, Norm. I like tones and shading you've created.Kimi A. Phillips April 25, 2007
Love it Norm! I missed your "vision" while you were vacationing! #4211509Norman P. Banks April 25, 2007
Hey Steve & Kimi, thanks for the nice comments!Steve: the original image is of the hallway leading to the catwalk at our place in Pompano beach.
After color editing, I selected the fire extinguisher area and used curves to bring up the hose detail & deepen the shadows. I then converted the image using dry brush and tweaked it some with dodging & burning.

Norm, it's not just your rendering, which of course is always fascinating, it's your ideas to begin with that engage so much. And what a pleasure it always is to see them realized. #4309067Norman P. Banks May 21, 2007
Mitch, thanks for the warm comments and much appreciated encouragement!I love using tne medium to explore ideas, concepts and techniques.
Digital photo art is my Zen practise and what's more, it occasionally results in a sale or two. (smile)
