Flower reflection

Someone suggested converting this one to black and white. It was a

good idea. Much improved. Thanks!

I ;feel this needs more contrast - the dress is grey when it should be much whiter. Otherwise a pretty image with good detail and dof.

Thanks, Angela. I'll pull it up in photoshop and see what I can do. I never noticed ... it really helps to have someone else look ...

 

Thanks again!

I agree with Angela. Great DOF and detail but looks like the white point needs to be moved. Here's my stab at it. Used a curves layer too.

Well the pic didn't post. Let me try again

Well it looked better on my monitor but doesn't look much different here. Sorry.

Paul,

 

Thanks for the suggestion and the updated picture. It looks whiter on my monitor. How would I have done it in Photoshop Elements? I tried adjusting it further, but ended up frustrated - because it looked to me like I was losing detail when I went for a whiter dress.

 

This photo was taken in a bridal shop. Could I have used the D70 reference photo function to set the dress as "white" (shoot the dress as the white reference rather than a reference card?)? Is that a good idea?

nice details!!
