..... As I have not been out and about to take some happy snap pix's and having post withdrawals you will have to be content with some average images yet to be finished sometime over the weekend......now back to the house repairs.....

.....this one not far from being finished....
Image

.......a blur was applied to the background and needs a bit more retouching......
Image

....... I think this one needs a new background and give it a bit more punch......
Image

.....yes comments please......and be kind as I am a long way from home....

I like the 1st and 3rd most... I love the framing of them in the neg style. :)

I think the neg framing needs less shadow under the sprocket holes, but it looks great like that. :)

.....fuji RVP is a Transpancy stock and black sprocket area is also a sign of transpancy....... neg film also has an orange type background.......':lol:'

Very nicely done bp, It's amazing how your best shots always come from the 3rd neg. :lol:

Nice shots BP. The first is my pick. The background in the 3rd is too sharp and busy for my liking and tends to distract from the main subject.

....... I tend to agree....the first pix is almost as shot with a bit of usm and saturation to brightenup the yellow......the flower in the last pix was in filtered sunlight and the background in shade...... I am going to pull the flower out of this image and place onto a plain background as the flower is quite busy by itself.......
