I got this flowers as a gift and I could not resist to spend a few hours taking pictures of them. At the end of the shoot I started to incorporate a few more items into the frame.

Thanks for looking.

Alex

Wonderful color management. A skillfully composed still life photograph with great details and truly effective lighting. Best regards.

I think this composition is very well presented, the flowers are a lovely, colorful bouquet, your colors, clarity and detail are so well executed, also especially in the wine and glasses. Your arrangement of all the elements is also very pleasing to the eye. Tops from me for a very concentrated and very well done effort. Simply exquisite and from what I have seen, if it were a wine or restaurant advert, it would do very well.

congrats on your time taken to produce such a lovely composition, kind regards,Gail

That Sumon and Gail. It was to shoot this bouquet. I send a good 3 hours with them. I started with the flowers only as a group then as close up of individual ones and then I started to add elements throughout the end. Here

Thanks a lot for your kind comments.

Hermosa presentacion con bellos colores y textura. Se nota que esta muy cuidadosamente montada esta presentacion! El exquisito detalle del garment gris y el libro ayudan a evocar muchos recuerdos en esta genial imagen. Un par de abrazos.

Alex, I feel the inclusion of wine bottle & glasses and the album makes the image more attractive than only  with a flower bouquet. Admirable composition ,light and exposure. You have amply rewarded with your meticulous planning for hours.

Nice bouquet and colors contrast,best regards.

Exquisite presentation.

This is very remarkable still life and of very high quality lighting, the contents are so well selected to end with such an outstanding formation, the details and colors are of very powerful nature while the black background do help to provide the effective separation factor for the main subjects and do enhance the well thought off composition.

Thank you for sharing it my friend and wishing you all of the best.

Alex, this Sofia Rose with yellow roses and twin orchids bouquet purvey hints of olfactory, degustatory and aesthetic satisfaction – a rare treat. Sumptuously textured book cover and wavy cloth compliment the artful spectrum of the image. Cognac aura of the spirits and impeccably clean reflections upon the glass surfaces complete the arrangement Good work! ILM

 Shooting transparent objects on a black bg is a tough exercise. Although the final result you show here is appropriate I am sure  for the next shot you will consider to use some diffuser panels to smooth the light reflected on the glasses... However, I still like this one.

Hi Alex,

Life is wonderful and so is your image .

What a fantastic scene and mind set.

Excellent work.

Best Regards,  Mike

Love the color and detail. Lighting is perfect as is the crop. Well done.
