I assume you killed the blue channel in the mix to get that lovely saturated tone? Good strong graphic, nicely lit...
Cindi Smith02-Jan-2010 23:50
Oh, I like!!!!! Bravo!!!
Guest 02-Jan-2010 17:41
I like them both but the contrast in this one is great! Happy New Year!
Ronald Bijtenhoorn02-Jan-2010 15:30

Truly black and white and not much in between. First class entry.
Mieke WA Minkjan02-Jan-2010 06:44

carol j. phipps02-Jan-2010 06:00
Strong contrasts and shape!
Carl and Racine Erland02-Jan-2010 04:40
A really strong graphic image and one of the most creative dusting methods I've heard of. ;-)
Fay Stout02-Jan-2010 02:31
This is a very striking image!
J. Scott Coile02-Jan-2010 02:14
Strong graphic photography Phillip.

Very fine work, excellent. BV.
Nancy Good02-Jan-2010 01:34
Cool!! Very strong shape and depth to this image.
Guest 01-Jan-2010 23:44
Looks great in pure black, I look forward to how you control the light for this months challenge, after last month you've got a hard month ahead of you!
Walter Otto Koenig01-Jan-2010 23:28
A nice start. Looks more mysterious in black. Happy New Year!
Marielou Dhumez01-Jan-2010 23:28
Elegance and beauty. Perfect to my eyes.
Doug Cruden01-Jan-2010 23:24
If that's blue, I need my eyes tested :o) Cracking shot to start, lovely simple composition and great lighting technique...nicely done!
slhoornstra01-Jan-2010 23:22
Such a beautiful monolith, and because it is blue, we can view its many aspects all the better. BV
Matylda Lempel-Chareza Photography01-Jan-2010 23:17
I love black.
Gail Davison01-Jan-2010 22:20
I like Johnny's thinking.
Bernard Davis01-Jan-2010 21:49
Beautiful shape there, well lit and almost dust free ;-)
Johnny JAG01-Jan-2010 21:33
I'm going to suggest that to Mrs Johnny, instead of dusting I'll just backlight everything!
Stephanie01-Jan-2010 21:26
A "cracking" image Phillip! Splendid indeed! :^)
Nancy Lobaugh01-Jan-2010 21:25
I agree.. this one is better...
Ann...01-Jan-2010 21:15
Lovely shaped vase, I prefer the darker one. Nice to know someone else has a problem with dust! ;)
Colin Storey01-Jan-2010 21:08
Striking difference.
Mairéad01-Jan-2010 20:53
It's interesting the difference the lighting makes.
Máire Uí Mhaicín01-Jan-2010 20:52
This is interesting and the neck of the vase keeps its three-dimensional quality in this.
Nicki Thurgar01-Jan-2010 20:18
Is it the vase, the table or your hand that's not straight? ;O)
Simple but effective, great use of lighting as always
