Easter painting.

[Medley]

Hey all. This is the cover image for our company's annual easter egg hunt this year. I'm the unofficial company photographer, so these things fall on me. I don't post enough of my work here, so I thought I'd share this one.

It's a digital painting with photoshop adjustments applied. The original is 3000x3000 pixels, but is too big for web. sRGB mode doesn't do the colors justice, but the original is a for-print image.

Anyway:

Hmm.. seems a bit dull to me...

Lack of contrast mayby... I like the filter effect.. But it seems like parts of the image have inverted colours...

Some parts of the image, such as the basket, does the work pretty well... ^^

Can you post the whole concept of the cover image?...
I guess there should get some phrases on it?...

Imp...

Yes, there was some printing, off to the right. The whole thing was professionally bound, with drawings or watercolors (not Photoshop, actual watercolors, etc) on the left side of the page, and the photograph they were derived from on the right. I used a few digital paintings, but they were mostly an eye-catching change of pace, rather than a norm. Because it was all put together at the printer's, it would be hard to reproduce it here, short of taking a book apart and scanning in the individual pages.

And yes, I agree that this version seems dull. The original had very bright, vivid colors that sRGB mode apparently can't reproduce. In fairness though, I did the conversion to sRGB on the fly, not bothering to correct the conversion. Still, as I said earlier, the original was designed for print, not for web, so the colorset used came from the printer profile.
