Nostalgia for summer

Gallery: FloraPosted February 11, 2015226 views10 comments

I was looking in the archive for a photo to edit and post when I met this image of two very tied poppies and I felt nostalgia for summer.

Back lit in the morning. Editing: more light, less saturation.

D700, Nikkor 200mm macro - f/22 and ISO 280.

Always very grateful for your thoughts and advises.

What a beautiful image! You know what makes it great... the transparency of the petals, the composition, the subtle color and the design formed by the stems. Awesome!

A classic Gigi shot! I love the lines and the translucency, along with the high key BG. Very nice! Not my favorite of yours, but very artistic.

This feels almost Oriental in its stylized delicacy. Wonderful work, Gigi!

How deliciously delicate! Excellent lighting and management of the details. Background high key for this subject is perfect. Masterfully done once again.
