Redo Hydranga

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted March 6, 2010325 views10 comments

A slightly different image than prior post which suffered from a poor dof. Thanks to Marc for his critique.

Zeiss 35 mm Nikon D300, dialed in a f11, or so.

FYI...skeletal remains hydranga flower petals after winter-drying and rains. Hand hung on a small branch. Mat b/g.

I really like this-especially the background and the 3-D effect.

I like the composition, the delicate look of the leaves and the bg.

Interesting Ken. I like this image very much but only marginally more if at all than the first. I like the color here and the same sense of balance in the composition but I also liked the tonalities in the first. It's a beautiful image.

Ken,
This is sublime...It's a lesson in composition. Three image points. The main leaf in a perfect rule of thirds. A great "S" curve. You've got it all working here. There is a subtle thing going on here that makes it really work. The light area to the left of the top leaf, is a wonderful balance counterpoint and really helps balance this great image. Well done
