in the silence of the moment...

hi there

Hi Roger.

You make it by your own and unique way. Some mysterious and philosophical representation...  Or, maybe you just playing around with different effects. But any way, original and interesting work.

Also, thank you for your generous critiques and review on most of my recent works.

With all my best,

Grigoriy

 

very unusual and therefore unique and unexpected.

the unexpected ghostly quality is what I like here.

a hint of focus, not on the bright element in the image, as one would expect, but rather in the dark element. the bright element to which we are naturally drawn to and expect to be in focus, is blurred. but this is where the "punch" is, in the haunting, detail-less quality of the rose.

this is unusual rendition of a rose.

very beautiful. i use the word "sophisticated" very sparingly, but here i will use it freely.

well done, roger.

Grigoriy, thank you for your kind words.

dror, your like a tonic, you always make me smile! all i have to say on this image is never have i spent so much time and put so much thought into but one image. again, i appreciate your words!

 We love it when an image transmits beauty and sensitivity in this way....we can also imagine that your photograph prints out very well too.

Best compliments from Norway, stay well...Anne & Runar :-) 

Roger, I certainly agree with the other comments. Very well 'created', but in the best sense of the word.

First of all, thank you for your critiques and reviews on some of my works.

This a very beautifull work and it's really inspires me a moment of silent. I think the choice of B/W it's very good. Congrats

 

With all my best,

Cosmin

 

How incredibly lovely and soft, very inspiring work Roger as always..

I have no clue how you processed this one but the outcome is artistic. Brighter flower placed off center a thin stem and a darker leaf balances the picture.  Well done, Regards, ifti.

Roger,

this is another amazing image of yours. I have nothing to add to Drors description, he hit the nail on the head.

I see that you used your break to gather some amazing ideas and put them to life. Really hope the series will continue!

Warm regards, Stanislav

... and mysterious.... and all the beautiful things already said above. Thanks to Dror, for pointing out the marvelous shift if focus to the shadowed area! Ive learnt something new again. Toast to you Roger, for providing the source for a stimulating discussion. :-)

The soft focus of this rose gives it an almost mysterious look. well done roger...  come and visit sometime

There are many great flower photo's on this site, but not so many very original ones. The luminous pearlescent quality of this rose is quite extraordinary, particularly as it still retains that quality in B &W. The single leaf textures contrast nicely and accentuate the soft light of the rose even further.

Sincere Compliments

Alf

 

Roger, what more can I add?  An original, cleaver, and captivating piece, which has already been stated above, but I feel I must chime in.  Best regards...

Beautiful as always.  Applecore.

Roger, haven't seen you a round or awhile. Hope all is well. How was the Leonard Cohen concert? I did have an LP of his once but doubt I could put my hand on it now! I could play it though as my husband has a record player. Hope summer is coming your way. Cheers, Adrienne

A very good title for this delicate flower ,light you used makes more interesting this subject,best regards.
