Fern Valley

walter,  your image sits within the frame like a well worn glove. definition is very nice,  as is the well thought out composition which suits a sq format rather nicely.  a pleasure to view!

Beautiful shot. The arrangement of the leaves and its flowers and also pov are wonderful. Congrats! 

Well done!

Thank you gentlemen! I thought the square would work better with this one  rather than the original 6x7.

Beautiful work with very nice lighting and details, Walter!

walter,  have came back for another view.  this image has the best definition of any image i have seen here in the flower section for just ages.  checked out the gear you used and it explains a lot. i seldom bother to rate images anymore but this one i did,  i was hasty with a six and part of reason came for a second view was to adjust that rating to a 7,  unfortunately the system will no longer allow me to change that rating.  its a real pleasure when one finds work of this quality.  thank you for sharing!

Thanks Roger, no prob about the rating. This one turned out better than I thought. I also shot a 4x5 chrome with my old Graflex and an APO Symmar 210. Now talk about clarity! The problem is, however, that I can only scan up to 6x9 at home, so the 4x5 will need to go out of house.  Probably to West Coast Imaging next time they have a sale.

BTW, about the only thing that I do not like about this is that some of the leaves have whitish deposits of something on them. Not too noticeable but I would have preferred a cleaner look.  Regards.

Nice natural coulors.

Thank you Gianluigi! As a fellow 6x7 shooter I thought you would like this one. Regards.

Walter, Lovely image. Glad to see the square on this. It's a good reference for these arrangements. I think the greens are great. I hadn't thought of the white substance until you mentioned it, but Maybe its the wet look that you are wishing for.

Thanks Don. I just ordered a 22x22 inch Chromira print on Supergloss; we'll see how it looks.  Regards.

That's a beauty Walter!  Lily of the Valley are my favorite (we have a patch in our backyard).  The triangular ferns add a pleasant design.  The are even some abstractions for the curious observer..

Thank you sir! I didn't have far to travel on this one...shot it in my backyard. I made a 22"x22" Chromira print on Fuji Supergloss; it turned out very well (if I may so).  I'm now looking for a nice mat and frame. Should make a nice print to hang in the early summer. Regards.

Knock knock ..

Who's there?

Just czeching (-;

So beautiful. Seldom do I see such lush colours in photography, these days.
