Beautiful work based on a very good original shot I think. It could be a strong advert for Zenit ! This picture remains the old and used aspect of the camera and the mix of colours suits very well to this shot. Nice job !

A brilliant idea very well executed, Garo! Well done! It certainly would make an excellent ad for Zenit. I like the "Russian" colours, too :) Good to see someone have fun and doing such creative work!

i saw the original and this shot looks really amazing, very nice colours, crisp and sharp shot nicely composed. very good work Garo

This shot makes me want to create the same group theme here as I had on TrekEarth, with photos concentrating on red, white and blue. Those three colours come up over and over again. My first reflex many years ago was also a Zenith - they were heavy but cheap and reliable.

Tis is really great PP work Garo. Well done. I like the colours and the scales yoy have done. The origional picture most have been good too.

I'm very impressed by this experiment. The result is very catchy, specially those three objectives round shapes overlapping. Very well realized, appealing colors and a sharp detailed image. You've let your imagination play for the best here.

A very creative shot, Garo. Excellent post-processing work. I especially like the 'red' version of the camera in the middle. Well framed.

Ecelent and very artistic work, Garo. Great processing, very clean work. Good job.

Well done Garo, I like the composition and the creative work you've done here, I particularly like the hue/saturation work.
Nice one.

Nicely executed experiment Garo. Post processing can be a lot of fun and it would appear that you had an enjoyable time creating this fine photo. Thanks for sharing and God's best to you, Tim

• [2005-05-31 2:39]

this pic is intersting by the fact that it shows a really strong opposition (even if it's complementary) beetween digital and "argentique".
good shot, and good compo.

Full of interesting elements this shot, very well realized. In particular I like rounded geometries, surreal overlapping of the blue and red cameras and the third in transparency.

Просто бесподобная работа!

Очень понравилась творческая задумка, и главное - ее реализация. Даже и не верится, что это - A60.

My dad has Zenit like that, it is very old, but still makes nice pictures.

Good one :)

Points for nostalgy. Zenit-ET is my old friend too. And...it is not the camera, it is THE PHOTOGRAPHER who make photos.

Truly magic... a very fitting tribute to a camera that I now know is legendary. Didn't before of course I came to live in Latvia.

Such wonderful PP work... an inspiratoin it is... my question is how do you make the "white stage" and Would you go into a bit more detail for me about the additional layer work? And also how you 'cut' the camera out from the 'white stage'? :)

I have been meaning to borrow my friends zenit with 'full gunstock' :) Makes me think the best time might be for a dramatic entrance for my next photo exhibition in his town... :) Thanks for the idea... :)
