20090216 - Ammunition...

For: Four Colour February

...for crosswords. HB pencils :)

This would've been here much sooner, but I got carried away with my after-shave, which I though would be a good yellow but turned out too reddish - and I didn't want to cheat by fettling the colour in PhotoShop.

Very cool abstract -- I didn't need to know what it is to enjoy it.

Very tight focal plane or er, something, to have caused this illusion! Fabulous as per always.

Very interesting shot, the shadows and pleats add a variety of tone

nice abstract, love the lighting..I would have thought they were window coverings! Cool shot.

Lovely abstract. I tried an experiment on this. When I tilted my laptop screen back it became quite reddish, when I tilted it forward it was more yellowish. No need for PS when you can achieve this double effect!

Excellent abstract. Love the lines that the tight DOF has created.
