heirloom

Excellent aesthetics. I like the fading into dark effect. Reminds me the Japanese 'kamon', the family/clan crests some examples can be found here

I just had a look at your portfolio and surprised myself by picking this one as my favorite and could easily imagine this as a large print.

 

I think Jim McNitt has it exactly right when he mentions what I'll call gradients from white to gray to black. The sepia toning is not overpowering and the water droplets add interest, but again they don't dominate as happens often.

 

Yeah, Tom's right. It's just a white flower on a black background, but there are some subtle things enhanced by perfect lighting that I find very appealing.

Puts me at peace. Thanks for the rest.

Donna your work is outstandung, you have inspired me too try macro.

Original and well done, 6/6

Very subtle, very peacefull, very beautifull. Perfect. And thanks for showing this.

This is a very intresting photo to me. I like the lonely mood this has.

The shot tells us a lot. It is a story of a Charming, calm tone, and impressive moment. VERY nice shot with a professional manipulation Donna.

Donna, thank you for commenting on my B/W Tulip. I am humbled and on the quest for more knowledge after seeing this stunning image. The lighting,glow and warm tones are masterful. Very,very beautiful. Regards. Denise
