I have the strangest feeling i’m going to be visiting this forum more often from now… Anyway, I was playing around with photoshop trying out different backdrops for my site. I was thinking of something with a majority of white in the pic, but i ended up using black instead. please critique me! i suck at art and i don’t have any more ideas for this pic. any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advanced! link: [http://filebox.vt.edu/users/mdimatul/pics/coralated.jpg](http://filebox.vt.edu/users/mdimatul/pics/coralated.jpg) ---

it looks real nice for a bg! I don’t think I would change anything… a little dark, but for a bg that should do fine… Nice work! Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

I think it belongs in some anatomy video talking about things in your blood and this and that - like its either tissue and you’re moving through it… or some kind of liquid the globs together - but it looks very organic, or very _Im looking at this under an electron-microscope_ kind of thing. Its cool 🙂 ---

it looks like a height map for mountains or something. i think its really cool esp if its a bg. should work out nice. mind telling me how you did it? ---

that will make a wicked BG dude! Its a little dark though (guess thats godd for a background), you might want to accentuate to edges a little though, they are a little hard to see right now. Maybe you could put your name or website address somewhere on the pic? Would make a cool promotional type image! ---

Sorry about the darkness. I’m working on my laptop which, naturally, has a bright screen. I’ll have to remember to keep it brighter next time. My next pic is mostly white on the other hand…just a few more touch ups and i’ll post it. ---
