Two different compositions derived from the same radiogram which also gave way to the "Shell Radiogram - 01" work of mine which you may remember. Actually, the pictures presented here and in "Shell Radiogram - 01" are scanned from the contact prints obtained from the Cyprea radiogram that I'm talking about.

Such simple beauty...that first is just a wonderful piece...they seem to take on the beauty of flower buds...in my imagination perhaps little fairies curled up inside.....

They are just wonderful in their simplicity. You cold make nice postcards of them.

I love the simplicity, the strong contrast & yet a feeling of softness too, the images almost float in space.

I'm thankful for all the comments... :-)
But, my dear Slynky, to see "such" scenes in daily routines in the profession of medicine, it seems to me that one needs to be specialised further and further and become a super specialist of a possible "gyneco-molluscologist"...
...Or, rather a "mollusco-gynecologist"..?
My speciality is "Clinical Biochemistry", sorry... ;-)

Sorry Doruksal but I dont like these, apart from the shapes there is nothing here there is no detail or sharpness, which I feel this subject needs. I liked your first post with the clever framing I felt that gave a needed component to the picture Sorry :(

Why are you sorry for..?
No problem at all, and I'm thankful..!
Yet, I actually would have liked a rather detailed critique as I really cannot feel like there is simply "nothing"... :-)
Diversity in comments and critiques is what I should be nurturing on...
Here are two phrases from "The Preface" of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde, typed here just as ideas:
Now, these may have sounded rather assertive, but I believe the wiseness and the truth in them [besides, who am I to oppose Oscar Wilde..? ;-)].
Thus, I should be able to criticise negatively if I feel so, and I shouldn't be sorry for it...
...Nor, in return, be sorry for receiving negative comments.
Thanks... :-)

Great Dorukskal, Its good to hear you dont mind constructive criticism I feel its good to get other peoples opinions, but you must do your pictures for you and if you like them then that whats most important. Did you try scanning these on a flat bed scanner? its very effective on subjects like this. :o)

i think the first one works best for me...i like the sparseness of it...one thing though...have you tried giving it a kind of washed out look...similar to flashing print paper then processing...i think that may look interesting...just a thought.
