dream in colors Corn Lilies

I'm blown away. Completely.

The 59 missed shots were worth it.

WOW. I dont think I'v ever seen such a powerful shade of green on film before. Great shot!

what a lush green. beautiful

rather surreal, almost 3-D. I like it!

Yes go ahead and call Fuji, tell them you've got a great shot they can use to show what lovely 'greens' velvia shows.

 

Great photo, but the vibrant color is most impressive of all.

My father has the same plants growing in his back yard, and I could easily take the same composition with Astia and make the colors just as bad with Photoshop. This shot illustrates what's wrong with landscape photography in that photographers are increasingly unable to make accurate portrayals of nature and have to resort to being saved by film dye.

 

Is the photographer trying to impress us with the engineering capabilities of Fuji Corp., or with his composition skills? All I see is ranting and raving over what wild colors and a picture the film took, not the photographer. "Yup, yup, yup, bright colorz...{drool}....yup, yup, yup...

Nice photo but another fine example of the grotesque lurid,exagerated color saturation of Velvia.Why does this color saturation appeal to people especially when it renders a false representation of the subject?

"Perspective, it is but best painter's art." Kiet, you the artist could have chosen black and white, kodak max, you could have even developed your own emulsion and shot with that. I like your vision in Velvia form, I like how you made the effort to get above the corn (isn't this an overhead shot?), and I like the impact your photographs have on this forum. I mean, you have people ranting about the accuracy and inaccuracy of this photo compared to real life, and it's just great.

I like the color, but, hey, I shoot Velvia myself. However, compositionally, I don't like the placement and imbalance of the three large dark patches.

Make that 60.

Beautiful picture. My envy is for the Wisner.

Just looked at your folder... stunning work. I'll be coming back to look more closely at your landscapes. You are a master of the craft. Reminds me of Eliot Porter's color work.

It would have been more successful if it were simpler - ie move in tighter on the corn lillies and exclude the other vegetation.

Simply Exquisite!

Your portfolio is outstanding and my favorite
