Very nice – is it one of those plastic tarps? The modern version of the drapery that Old Masters painted, right?
I like them together, and the 5th one is a nice counterpoint, with a bit of “specimen” feeling. The close up with the stain is a nice counterpoint too. Are the scratches on the last one a layer from another photo?
Thanks, Lynn. Not a plastic tarp but a strip of wet art tissue paper.
The “scratches” are dried plastic polish on a thin sheet of plexiglas that you probably have recognized from earlier images. I always use it as part of the original photo, though, never as a layer to be added afterwards. (Although it’s not a bad idea, I generally shy away from doing too much in Photoshop because I’d never be able to stop myself from experimenting with its infinite possibilities.)
