great texture! nice lighting! cool technics! is it leather? good work, Carlos!!

MsMichelleLynn  01/21/05 @603

Very nice Carlos. How did you do this? Did you use the liquifying tool in PS CS? My only crit here is the blur in the light part of the image. I think it's distracting but I love the concept and the uniqueness of this. It is very artistic. Great idea.

Madanapale  01/21/05 @611

The blurring is the water moving !!!....what is it?? I will tell you tomorrow. but I didn't use any tool or photomanipulation...all natural Light!

MsMichelleLynn  01/21/05 @623

My guess is a section of bark from a birch tree. I could not detect any water though.

Sven  01/21/05 @632

Its bark...i think...or is it not? Very nice shot! Great...just great....beautiful....cant decide! +10

hmmm i have the same idea like Michelle on the first look. it reminds me a bison leather. i´m curious nice experiment Carlos.

Imperfecta  01/21/05 @633

I think this is a piece of cloth, actually crude leather in a cable. See the white cable? When we wash crude lwather it stays this way. I know because once I had a lamb's leather rug, and when my mom washed it, stayed the same way. The effect of this picture is amazing, Carlos, and not knowing what the subject really is, gives mystery to the composition. Good job! Dani.

Morning Carlos my friend!! I love this piece!!! And you rascal you, make us wait to find out....(i think you should not tell us at all) Dani is right the mystery is a big part of the composition. As you well know, I love natural abstract. you have captured a wonderful shot here. as always your work is elegant. Thank you my friend. Keith PS, My max!!

This is a fantastic comcept man... freakin awesome, I love this, I think it is a large leaf to a tree or plant, this is fantastic... I would have never thought of this +10

ohce  01/21/05 @665

yeah yeah... so many guessing here.... hmmm... what is it? it does look like some kind of skin to me.... anyway... very nice texture and lighting~

giammy  01/21/05 @690

amazing shot... the lighting is absolut P E R F E C T beautiful work as usual

Fooxoo  01/21/05 @737

Beautiful WOW, have no idea what that is, but it is amazing. I think cloth of some kind, but wow. WOW, I've got nothing more to say

ThruMyEyez  01/21/05 @966

Whatever it is it's beautiful! Very original title too!

Moni  01/22/05 @008

Hi, Carlos...agree with Gary...it's wonderful....and to me....it's leather right???

Phryneas  01/22/05 @072

I guess as many others before me, leather hides. But i don't really know. I love the ways you did it and I love the fading out to black as always. Hm, I really would like to know HOW you do that as i don't really believe you do it in PS but on the other hadn really can't figure out how to do it in RL without moving many black walls Would be happy about an explanation. No technicals really to crit, if it's leather the browns could be a bit more satuated.

Maco  01/22/05 @202

I love the details on the texture, and the mood of the photo is awesome...

Antidromic  01/22/05 @306

Nice photo! I was suprised that it wasnt in photo manipulation. Thats cool that you achived this without using photo shop. It looks like leather of some kind to me but I see the waterfall.

Madilynnn  01/22/05 @439

Wow, I don't know what this is... you definitely have me intrigued! It looks great and the colors are wonderful. Very sharp and interesting! Nice work, as always! - Rene

silentstudio  01/22/05 @499

the thumbnail tricked me into believing it is really a waterfall... but now i guess it is a large piece of withered leaf.

Madanapale  01/22/05 @643

Thanks you alll for the coments.....I didn' t intend to post this as a guess....it is a dried dead banana tree leaf.....placed on a black clothing on a table by a window....natural light ...no manipulations.

rgyoung777  01/23/05 @229

Oh, my, am I ever late in commenting! Even knowing what it is--this is a great photo! I wish I had big banana tree leaves to play with! Another brilliant piece from you, Carlos.

good idea +10

drdab99  01/24/05 @039

eowyn  01/24/05 @600

Papito!!! wooaaaa this is just just just so....beautiful! It moved me a lot! There's so many sadness in this photo! God, at first i thought it was horse's hair, but when I took a lot more time to see the photo...just amazed me! Lovely!

intec4000  01/25/05 @480

very, very nice. ethno. added it to my favorurites. 8/8 marcel

greyfin  01/25/05 @800

ah i guess its some kind of plant .. but i'd never guessed banana leaf ... you're really lucky to live in such a tropic area of the world *shivers from looking at the almost-blizzard outside her window*

Medrano  01/26/05 @710

great! +10

thienbao  01/27/05 @264

On the far right it looks like a horse's head. I thought it was a picture of a waterfall manipulated into a horse like shape, but man, it's a photo. Very cool!

thbeghin  01/28/05 @756

it looks like a shirt

Dax  02/15/05 @747
