Purple Heart, I picked up a 1X10 10 ft long at the Lumber Liquidators for $20

Thanks for the kudos

did you do any altering of the photo? The colors seem a bit off to me, the purple too pink, and the gold too yellow.

The first pics I did were on a blue background and didn't look quite right. I switch to a light grey and they look a whole lot better.

That is what I see too. I pulled the image locally and looked at it with Gimp. I then used the color tools option to look at the Input Levels graph. I see a nice bell shaped curve, but felt that an auto adjust made it look better (on my pc and in my eyes of course).

Overall, good first pic.

Here's another one

Mike - switched to the gray background in my little litebox

bfrikken - Gimped it a little, can you suggest a book on Gimp or did you just wing it



Here's the original gimped a little (might not be Purple Heart might be Bloodwood- I get confused after they're complete must start labeling)
