fine art Soft

An exercise in depth-of-field, using a vintage Olympus lens, a 50 mm 1.8 from the 70's. I tried to bring out the softness of the petals and still show the structure on them. I would like to know what you think of this and how effective it is as an image. Your comments are very welcome.

Hi Vincent. I think you achieved your goal. That lens passed the test, monochromatic approach was the right choice.

Hi Derek,

 

that was quick! Thank you for liking this photo. Kind regards, Vincent

Lovely weightless gentle image, Vincent! I am always interested in your experiments and I like to look at the result. Beautifully done, Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

It is not said that the lenses of the past are not up to the current ones. Being able to get all the nuances and details on a white surface is difficult, and the credit, in addition to the lens, goes above all to the photographer, ciao Giangiorgio

Vincent, very nice work. Regards, Franz

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

thank you for your friendly comments and appreciation! Your opinion matters to me. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Franz,

 

thank you very much for your valued appreciation! Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Tatiana,

 

thank you for another amiable comment that is really appreciated! Thank you too for your continuous support of my photography! Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent you definitely accomplished what you set out to do. In my mind, I also envision a sculpted white marble or glass, like you would see in a fine vase, or sculpture. Well done! Patrick

Hi Patrick,

 

thank you very much for your detailed comments! I really appreciate your opinion. Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent, the few occasions you post abstract images have been successful in a variety of respects. This one is no exception. The subject appears to be an extraordinarily delicate fan that humans probably would use too harshly. On each previous occasion, your style has been presented in such a different way to make it truly stand out. Using my own style as an example, and to use musical terminology, yours is pianissimo while mine is fortissimo. Fine work . . . - - My best always, michael

Hi Michael,

 

what great comments! I understand your point, but I think you're selling yourself short here; our abstractions are very different, but I don't think that yours are 'louder' than mine. I see it as different dialects of the same photographic language, one that we both speak from our hearts. Kind regards, Vincent
