Thanks Mark.Nice use of DoF lovely detail in the buds of the flowers.
Thanks Mark.Nice use of DoF lovely detail in the buds of the flowers.
Thanks Rainbow, I tried the same technique with a tulip on the other side of the garden, but the wind must have been a tad too strong, software couldn't line up the images correctly.Turned out good imo, a nice shot as I love trying too when there is a breeze.
Thanks Tim.That's worked really well. The fall off into blur is very well controlled.
Thanks Clive!That has worked well lots of nice detail.
Thanks Alan, it was the how the rims of the buds looked black the drew my eye and the one bud that looked lighter then the others (I think that was the one that bloomed in the second image).I love the tones in the Icelandic poppies photo and you have isolated the subjects perfectly
Thanks Pete!Interesting processing on your Poppy, works very well, and to be honest is better than the colour version.
I like the younger version as well.
Pete
Thank you Helen!Great detail and texture. Nice one.
Thanks Dominic!I like the shapes the the heads create. They sort of look sad, with their drooping heads.
Thanks Pete!Those Icelandic Poppies are great and wonderful subjects.
Thanks Pete, yeah, given the old brick building beside this wall with the wrought iron fire escape I thought that gritty and B&W would be best.I like the mono version a lot Bill and it's nicely processed too.
Thanks Mark!Mono version for me great find.
Thanks Dave, to be honest I can't tell musical notation from hieroglyphics. It might be just a made up version for the sake of artAnother vote for the mono. I never realised there was a different type of musical notation from the notes etc I'm used to!
Thanks Tim, I thought that the taller version was good to include just for perspective. It also highlights the fact that the wall is glass (or a reasonable facsimile thereof...).I agree with the above, the mono shot.
It has more impact and I prefer the composition of the shot - #2 is a bit too tall for me (iyswim).
Thanks David!I like them all. Both colour and mono. You could have chosen any of them for the main thread.
Thanks Clive, Lightroom + Nik SilverEfex then back into Lightroom for small tweaks.I like all 3, but your processing of the first is good.
Tim ( @LC2 ) is making the call on what fits the themes.Not sure if this one fulfills the mandate on not...colourful out of black and white...
You shouldn't have turned your back TimSeeing that @Cobra has positioned me as the big bad for techniques (not sure how that happened )
Watch and Learn Bee Watch and learnI think @Cobra is making it impossible this week,
Thanks Shug, I'm with you. Not usually a huge fan of selective colour but as I was desaturating the colour channels in Lightroom, when i got rid of the green and yellow, I was left with this and just kind of liked it.I'll let others decide whether it meets the brief, but it works for me. Colour pops don't usually work for me, but I rather like this - the subject and composition are lovely.
Thank you Pete.Nicely done Bill. That flower is a lovely colour.
