rose #6

comments appreciated...thanks....David

Very good shot, David. I like how most of the blacks appear to be in the range of 10/10/10 or 15/15/15, rather than 0/0/0.

very nice, simple, dramatic.

Lovely tonal range in this shot.Very well done indeed.

beatiful shot and artistic

Remove the color to a rose and get a real work of art, is only possible with an excellent composition and a great sensitivity for the beauty. Congratulations. Vicente.

Perfect, David. Absolutely perfect.

Very nice indeed!! All the best......roger

David, this is really nice, it looks like the rose is made out of paper. The sharp edges are outstanding.... Man, do I wish I could make my B&W's look like this.

great shot

i agree ..great shot

Excellent tones, focus, and composition, David! DOF is just perfect!

Sweet! Excellent tones and comp. Like that the brightest part of the image is toward the center of the petals, really draws me into the maze. Harry

Excellent rose, David.Beautifull sharp as a razor. Did you consider a square framing? Compliments and regards Jaap.

Beautiful ~~~ Excellent tonality of shadow and highlight !!! 7/7 !!! :D

An excellent artistic photo with nice tones. Congrats !

My favorite of the flowers in the contest. I was in it myself, but this one caught my eye cause in my opinion it was the most unique of them all as well as a great composition and great tones. Well done and congrats.

thank you Martin...i was surprised that the judge, Harold Davis, chose this one as his favorite...and its nice to hear you liked it as well...regards....David

Excellent work!!

Beautiful work. Your lighting (and I assume processing) gave this image a nice balance of light and dark, well separated.
