Default Abstract Color Clouds

Had fun with some abstract photography.

Hope you like it!!





(...also looking for good title suggestions...for some reason creativity in terms of titles are shot...)

I think I'd have preferred them against a darker background, but I like the concept.

Hmmm...you think? I'll have to try it. I was afraid that, with a darker background, I would lose the detail. Though I suppose I don't have to go black... Some off white? Cream? Orange?

For a title, how about "Artificial Jellyfish"? Or maybe "What Do You See?"

Fun and interesting set of shots.

On the background, maybe that much white looks a bit too bright? Maybe tone the white down by adding a bit of grey or something similar?

It's just a matter of personal preference, really. I think the white's a bit bright and a darker background would show the vibrancy of the colours off a bit better, but the only way to know for sure if that would be the case would be to try it and see.

Black would probably be too dark, what about a light to mid charcoal?

Interesting Concept! I's seen some really neat smoke work and yours is very good.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.

Thanks everyone. The charcoal / grey might work. Yeah...the white may be a bit harsh... A friend wants to hang it on her wall with all 4 going horizontally across but for her it'll work since her townhouse is incredibly colorful. But will have to see how it looks in a larger print to see if it really is distracting.

Oh,and Chewys Dad, thanks! I'm not good with smoke though...for some reason I can never get the lighting right. So this is actually food coloring in water and rotated 180 degrees!
