Hi Jamie,

  Wonderful b/w image.  Take care, Patsy

thanks a lot patsy. best, j

I'm afraid it could have been better in color!

i just submitted a similar picture for critique, saying that magnolias seem better to me in black and white. their colours are lacklustre. Thanks Pierre. best, j

Hi Jamie. I really like the composition of this, it has a very Zen feel to it! Would look very good hanging on a wall. Also like how some of the flowers are backlit too, giving textures and tones. By the way it was a coincidence but I also chose the same title for one of my images not long before seeing this but glad I found this capture all the same. Great work. Best wishes. Sarah.

or perhaps, Daydream Alike.

 

i took many of these, burning through many rolls of long-expired film. A few gems. Thanks a lot Sarah. best, j

from a while back...

 

shot on Ilford XP2.

Cheers

Very Japanese garden, or at least that's the kind of impression I get. I like the second version better, a bit less harsh.  Very pleasant !

 

Best Regards

Pierre - First it's backlit, now it's detail. Thanks Old Friend. best, j

 

Alf - Tricky one, as you say. Old film, old lens, into the light. Thanks. best, j

A very very nice and good  b&w image. You handled  the  back lighting beautifully Bravo.

And a +1 for shooting all this on film.

Thanks a lot Bela. It's what happens when you have old film to shoot through. best, j
