Yes, yes I can.

Erm, the colour of the crystal isn't edited. I just made the rest black and white. Enjoy!

Wow this is gorgeous! I used to do this with my pictures all the time. My only suggestion would be to fade the color of the crystal a little bit, because right now, the original color of the crystal is making it pop out way too much and it looks like it's been cut and pasted into your picture. Other than that, great job! :smt001 *like*

This is so cool! I agree with Embee, though--fade the crystal.

I also didn't really like the way the pointer and middle fingers faded out against the background. I know the focus is supposed to be the crystal, but it still distracted me. Maybe if there was a bit more contrast?

Aquaaaaa! Irish es here!

Wait...you didn't edit the color!? That's gorgeous!

What kind of stone is that because I absolutely love the color :shock: And I agree with everyone, tone down the crystal just a smige. The black and white really does it make pop though and I love thise picture! :D

If I had a facebook and could "like" this I would!!

Keep up the awesometasticalwork!

Wow! Great picture to color splash!
The crystal's color is really intense, isn't it? Yes, toning the color down would help a lot. Also the white on the bottom left of the crystal really bugs me...it stands out like a sore thumb. Even if it may be intentional, it looks like a mistake. To me, at least.
Hope I helped-

Beautiful work! I want a crystal like that. I suggest just about only what other people have said: perhaps tone down the crystal, or at least the gleam. A deeper color would add o the drama more. Also, I think that the stark contrast is very... hard for the eye to take in. Personally, I think it would look cool with the ground under the hand being black. That's a personal opinion, though.

Other than that, beautiful work!

Amy!

Wow, that's so pretty!

Well, aside form toning down the crystal colours, I find my eye constantly being shifted to the very exposed patch just above it. I would suggest you to edit that bit, so that focus is on the crystal.
And, the background; it starts out okay but sort of blurs as we move up.I would suggest a mild blur along the bottom to even things up.
Also; I love the way the last two fingers are bent.

Good job. :)

It's probably a synthetic glass crystal!

I would dark the over-exposed patch right above the crystal. Right now, it seems a bit... white and it doesn't really have neat contrast, as is with the hand and other parts of the crystal. Otherwise, I love the color contrast between the crystal and the white hand. :)

I haven't done a review or anything in a while...

Hello there!

It's so beautiful!

I love how the background effect was greyscale and the center focus was the crystal! It was really nice. :D Maybe a better angle could solve the problem and try not to increase your focal statement towards the crystal 'cause it would really look it was edited and it stands out more... but really, I like the idea of it.

Keep up!

I liked this. I always find I like the pieces where it's black and white and then there's one pop of color. But I agree with Yuri, I think a better angle would increase its awesomeness by like, a million times. Maybe if you somehow made the coloring of the crystal subtler, it would be absolutely stunning. And there's something about that background that bugs me. But it is pretty.

Hey!

I really don't know how to review pictures so I'll just say the things I like and things I don't. I like the colors of the crystal. I like the black and whiteness of everything other than the crystal. I agree with Dreamy, it would look prettytastic if you make the floor completely black :D I don't really like how shocking the colors are at the same time as liking it. It's just too much for the eye. I think I just contradicted myself...I should stop before I give myself a headache... All right then, I like this :D It's pretty. :D
