I'm being a bit over critical of this one I'm afraid.
I've been tryng to stay away from photoshop for these challenges but this one I went crazy with.
I really liked the bright colors but I didn't like that the yellows were right next to each other- it was just what I got stuck with in this particular block set. It may not bug normal people but it drove me CRAZY!
So I decided that it would be fun to make it black and white to remember the simpler days of youth- long LONG ago.
I wish I had a better explanation of what I did with photoshop but I kinda played with it a while. Basically I desaturated then made some colors darker so that the "=" and the "2" didn't seem washed out. Then I added a teensy tiny filter of sepia to warm it up a bit.
I took this pic next to an open window with nothing but the sun- Yay me! No flash!

like it!!
Neat!! I love the depth of field and the reflection.
This is beautiful! I think it's one of my favorites so far! LOVE what you did with it. And I think without color it really drives home the simplicity.
I absolutely love this!
Excellent Job!!
The two yellow blocks next to eachother would have driven me crazy too. I really like what you did with this picture in photoshop.
I love photoshop myself:)
I love this picture! I just screams simple to me!
I like the black and white, it really helps the blocks to stand out on their own. I also like the texture of the table and the angle of the blocks. Very creative!
Love your picture, what ever you did it worked, it's just simple and beautiful.
Oh I really like it! The adjacent colors (instead of alternating) would definitely drive me nuts, too, so I can totally understand going black and white. I think the black and while adds to the simplicity anyway.
