Dried rose

An old (2009) photo of a dried rose that I found very interesting at the time. I keep stumbling upon photos that I had almost forgotten about; sometimes you need to go through your archives, which can be quite a task. I remember the DoF was my main concern about this shot. Your comments are very welcome.

Great tones and a wonderful vintage look to this image Vincent. It has a warm feel to it. Regards, Patrick

Hi Patrick,

 

thank you very much for your friendly comments! I'm happy with your assessment of the mood of this image. Kind regards, Vincent

A very nice black & white floral image Vincent. I really like the wonderful textures of the rose and as Patrick said, beautiful tones. Well done! Todd

Bravo Vincent, this photo deserved to be taken out of the drawer, your goal of getting a good DOF has been achieved, great details on the white surface hard to get, a nice job, ciao Giangiorgio

Hi Patrick,

 

thank you for your friendly comments! It does have a vintage look, I didn't even think of that aspect! Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

thank you for your friendly comments! I just wrote to Todd I'm not sure I'm really happy with the DoF; I'm glad you think it's good. The details in the white are there fortunately. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Todd,

 

thank you so much for your comments on this photo! The textures came out convincingly, but I;m not sure I'm completely happy with the DoF. Kind regards, Vincent

The palpable texture and limited tonal array are what make this remarkable to me. Excellent work, Vincent.

Hi Wayne,

 

thank you for your friendly and relevant comments! I'm glad you like the photo. Kind regards, Vincent

A fine monochrome image, Vincent! Aside from the gentle contrast and overall lighting, I'm impressed by the soft detail and texture. - - My best always, michael

Hi Michael,

 

thank you so much for your friendly comments and for favoriting this photo! The soft look comes from taking care of even lighting and slightly reducing the contrast. I wanted the receptacle to be in focus, as I liked these curled parts the most. Kind regards, Vincent
