Somewhere on DA I saw a guy who once in a while went back to a favorite photo of his and retouched it according to his current taste and skill. Just to see if he’d make progress since last time. I thought that was a fabulous idea. Funny how a photo is not only a frosen moment in time, its also a frozen example of the style you had in that particular period. Lately I’ve been into muting the colors and light, sort of making the photos appear as visions so dark, you were lucky to catch a glimpse of it before it was swallowed by pitch black eternal night.
Ever since submitting “splash” it’s been the photo I’ve received the friendliest notes/mails about. Since it has never been on the frontpage, all the 163 people who has 'ed it has been hardworking gallery-browsers. So this is a revised ‘deluxe’ version dedicated to this endangered species Those who make an effort to seek out new work and artists instead of just dwelling on their stale watchlists.
Hey, how do you think I got my "stale" (ever growing) watchlist in the first place?
The first version of this pic made me freeze when I saw it. This one might also do the same, if I hadn't seen the first one. Even in the darkness the suspended water is striking. Unfortunately the woman is less visible, so I would prefer the original. Good thing I can see both. The background on this one is like an old page as a sky ... or something.
hehe good point. Well, I was just poking those who seemingly exist only to every single unoriginal piece their idol goth artist churns out
Fair enough you like the b/w better. I intended the woman to be less visible. Instead the droplets stands out more, which is what makes the photo for me. Thank you very much for your comment
i've seen alot of photo's on DA that involve woman and water. but this is by far the most artistic expression yet, and the capture is beautiful.
gorgeus colors, a gorgeus shadow, it's a photo that plays with the eyes, and emotions.

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and *Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same.

a vast array of small perfections in this one.
great work!!
this is without doubt one of the best photos it has ever been my eyes honor to view.
So fluid (ahem pun not intended lol), perfectly clear, at least to me, shadowed so well, and yet highlighted in just the right places...
every single time i see some new work of yours, I am beyond astounded. I am so glad i am watching you.
Oh, and I do the same thing... lol ask any of my watchers... (:devdracker: is fond of the phrase "You and your damn remakes" lol)
anyhow.. great, Raun, just absolutely great.
