Snow Roses II

Large view available. This alternative image displays more thorns than the

original, yet it is busier than the other. Your comments are most helpful.

Thanks. Larry

This is a fine image, but I prefer the previous version. In the previous one the stalks are more slender and also darker, giving more contrast. I also prefer the fact that there all the stalks and berries are within the frame. In this present one I find it disturbing that the stalk and the berry on the right protude beyond and get cut off. Best regards.

Jon,  Thanks for chiming in on this image.  I fully agree with you.  I printed both images and the first is by far more interesting and artistic.  I appreciate your assessment.  Larry

The previous one was more crisp and brighter as it should be!

Best regards

Larry, I like the first one better, too. It has more contrast, and is sharper with more DoF. Some parts of this one are a little soft due to shallow DoF, and it just doesn't feel as intentional as #1.

Nicely done!

Very nice work, Larry!

Tony,   Thanks for your weighing in on this image.  I like it because of the sharpness of the thorns; however, I actually prefer the previous image.  Larry

Ruud,   Thanks for your visit and comment.  While I like this image, I prefer the simplicity and whiteness of the snow in the other one.  I was testing out my new Lumix DMC-LX100 on both images.   Thanks again for your comment. Larry

Hi Larry,

  Wonderful image with beautiful details.  Take care, Patsy

Compare this two photos you did I may say that I like this one where snow is better seen in structure(eve darker that the other one),red is so good contrasting with white,Is true that right branch that is out the frame disturb a bit but can for sure easy removed,no problem.I like that is natural as in nature can be seen.

best regards

Patsy,  Thanks for viewing and commenting on this image.

Radu,  Thanks for your input.  I think you have hit the main differences between the tow images well.  I appreciate your taking the time to comment. Larry
