Reflecting Layers

Uploaded: March 05, 2008

Description

Re-submitting, different catagory! This started as an image of the cloud reflections on a bank building. It was pretty, but boring for me as I was in a "creative" mood! Used Gimp and CS3 for the effects.

Exif: F Number: 13, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/200 seconds, Flash: fired, auto mode, red-eye reduction mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi

This image is really cool, Kimi. If you add a title like Superego that no one understands, it will be worth a lot of money and someone will explain the title for you. :) I am serious about that. In any case, I like it.

By the way, I found a website that will print, take the payment, and mail the prints to customers. I just got started there. It's a new place- lots of very nice artwork of all kinds for sale there, including photographic prints. Check it out. www.artistful.com.
