If you look at the time each photo was taken you will see that it's different, so it's not the same water drop and the same setting from a different angle. I actually have a set of several different colored feathers and glitter which I try to combine each time to make a different representation of a birthstone. I do realize they all look similar but the point is in different colors I guess. And of course I could have put the drops on flowers or whatever but then it wouldn't have been a series of water drops on feathers, and that's what I wanted to do.. |
I like this concept, as I have seen zodiac series but never birthstones! But I do think your photos of all the gemstones seem a bit overused. It looks like it was taken by the same water droplet and set, which makes it a bit repeating. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, but it gives me the idea that you're not trying to think of other ideas like putting a water droplet on some other places that are the same color of the birthstone you are trying to recreate. I liked the diamond one because a feather is white and it really looks like a diamond in surroundings that are in its natural color. Maybe instead of just putting a water droplet with glitter on just feathers, you could've put it on a purple flower or something. It looks like you are just taking multiple pictures of the same thing, just at different angles. I wonder if you are...?
Putting that aside, I absolutely love your technique and editing here!
Overall, I love it! It's a beautiful work of art that deserves the appreciation it's getting.
