Thnk I prefer the colour version, great shot, GL

I like the colour one better.

When I get the time later I will change the entry to the coloured version.

Changed

Yes, I also think the colour version immediately gives the idea of the world and not of a little ball.

much, much better! definitely a great shot now!

cool shot...gl

Oh Dear! Author....what did you do in the processing of this photo??? The Idea and the application are OK, but there is almost no contrast and it looks sooooo very flat....maybe if you gave a hint at the processing we could give you some tips to help out?

hehehe... I actually like the different look but I got it this way mainly because I REALLY REALLY CHEW my nails BAAAAAD and I didn't want them to show. I'll try a bit of different processing to give it some definition though.

ok I changed it a bit but now you can tell how OOF my hands are but the shadow is in focus.

photo looks very flat. try adjusting levels and or contrast.

very cool...shadow reminds me on a eagle from the navy emblem's...good luck author

Good entry! GL!

Well this is awesome! Not sure what else I can say really...

Oh wait, a very minor nitpick is that when you have flipped one of the images the light source is now coming from opposite ends. Not a negative, but the only thing I could possibly find 'wrong'

this is amazing! Ray, the light could be shining from the bottom to the top..i think the lighting works in this manner!

Excellent pair of images..

Ok...I am so impressed with the wonderful examples of creativity that I see! Great idea! Love it

This is another WOW!

absolutely amazing work

Super, wish I had thought of it = )

very creative

Great story here..

Oh so touching, love all the love here, we need more of that in this world.
