r.s. adams 0 Posted February 27, 2001 Looks great.... two minor suggestions. My eye "wants" to see a stem of some kind to keep the flower from 'foating in space.' Then, since digital allows us to pursue perfection that doesn't really exist, I'd be tempted to clone out the imperfections in the petal that is on the lower left portion of the flower. Both of these suggestions are only my perferences, though. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted February 28, 2001 I like the lighting on the flower. (Window light?) Just curious about the background.(black paper or velvet?) Your digital camera seems to be working for you. I'm one who would appreciate more technical details, especially concerning the setup. Happy shooting. Link to comment
mariano_garcia_valino 0 Posted March 1, 2001 Your taking the time is really appreciated and your comments are very encouraging. To your questions, yes, it is window light, on a very sunny late afternoon, light was coming in very horizontally. Background is just a normal piece of flat cardboard, not even black (it is the dark brown back of a box, actually), I just threw it out of focus. I placed the flower on a clip holder (you know the type that is sometimes used to put pictures on, basically a heavy base and a piece of metal wire that has a clip on the end), and hide it behind the petals, that is why it seems to be floating on air. Thanks again for taking the time and for your comments. Link to comment
