Description For my second print, I thought I'd try scanning from the original 5x4 transparency for quality. Unlike the original submission: King Prawn this is the pure shot, not hand-coloured. I did do a few bits of retouching for hairs and changed the levels to give the contrast a bit of bite

Shot on a 5x4 view camera back when I was at college for Photography/Design.

Very very nice, like how you managed colours from the other original shot a question are those chopsticks made by alabaster or just simple plastic material?

I don't see very much changes with your previous one, only the colors are more natural. That makes it better, definately..

Interesting how you barely notice the difference at first glance. I quite liked the hand coloured one, as it's appears to be smoother and the colours seem more pure in a way. The difference is very minute though and the shot itself remains one of your best. Again, I think the inner border could've been just a little thinner, but all in all I'd say this would make a great print. I like it a lot

again, the translucent quality of the chopsticks and prawn, brought out by the back/side-lights, is exquisite. nice, simple, detailed, stylish...

Very nice. Simple yet effective. Looks like something that would be hanging in a hotel restaurant or something. Good job.
