Guest Guest Posted February 21, 2001 What are peoples opinions on the colours? I am happy with the shape and crop, but am not sure about the colours? Is it vulgar? Any comments or ratings much appreciated. Thanks!! Link to comment
scott_eaton 0 Posted February 21, 2001 Colors are fine and fit the composition, but I don't like the fact that the upper right side of the rose bleeds color really bad. Note that the lower left looks saturated, but holds detail. Distracting. Link to comment
michael_goode1 0 Posted February 22, 2001 Oversaturated in my opinion. The combination of magenta and yellow doesn't do it for me. I think complementary colors would go better (ie, red rose and purple background)--if you look at Robert Mapplethorpe's flower photos, that is what he did, and what gives those flowers such appeal.

michael_goode1 0 Posted February 22, 2001 Also, the colors are so saturated that you have lost any tonality in the image--there are just a couple shades of red visible in the rose. Link to comment
michael_alexander3 0 Posted February 22, 2001 This would work for an advertisement where you wanted to get people's attention. It's too bright and garish to stare at for long. In my pictures, I also have a problem with red flowers getting oversaturated. I don't know the solution, except maybe stopping down one. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted February 22, 2001 Hardly vulgar but I agree, too saturated. You said you felt this way in your opening remarks. I think most times listening to your gut feelings pays off. I also agree a cooler color for the background would have improved it. Otherwise, nice shot. Link to comment
