Susanna, making good captures of sculptures is mostly extremely difficult because the lack of good contrast between subject matter and background. To me you've solved this problem perfect! Wonderful job! Regarding to the low C-index: it's a pity that only a few people have recognized your creativity. Regards, Cornelius
This is really a nice capture, Susanna - b&w was definitly the way to go. I might have cloned out the bird poop but other than that it's wonderful. I agree with the above - pay no attention to the c-index. It's worthless and how it's determined is not really explained. I believe that the index should be based on a simple percentage. If you have 100 views and 60 downloads then the c-index would be 60. If you have 200 views and 30 downloads the index would be 30. The primary use of the c-index is to enable users to sort galleries in order to bring the best images to the top. Wouldn't sorting by most popular downloads accomplish the same thing less arbitrarily? I will now get down from my soapbox -
