Kuivaamo

A reflection of my apartment. The background I used was a John Coltrane LP, hence the title. Light source was a 430EX on-camera, bounced.

Thank you Lydia! The "B&W look" comes from my choice of white balance (I wanted zero colour cast for this one) and from my apartment having too many white surfaces. :-)

A fascinating capture... with the red in there it threw me off for a minute while I figured out it wasn't BW. I really like this, Kuivaamo. Welcome to the challenges! ~Lydia

Thank you Kelly, Julie, Melbob and jnconradie!

I have to admit I was a little intimitated to take part in the Challenge, having seen how high the level of entries always is. But it's been fun to create images that fit a topic, and I really appreciate all the comments.

I'm looking forward to the next one!

Welcome Kuivaamo, lovely image. I like the richness and clarity of this and the 'red' tone really adds to the composition.

Great composition ~ Regards Melbob

This is a very interesting image. I like the tough of red in an otherwise monochrome shot. Julie
