Pale and Delicate

Time for some fresh flowers. Your comments are appreciated.

Very nice. Soft pastel colors are very subtle. I like the way the background works with these colors.

EXcellent colors. almost appears as a painting.

Gorgeous! Very well done Hanna.

I like how the first leans on the second

I too like the interaction between the two. So beautiful in its coloration and tones...it would look lovely in one of my rooms.....

This is fabulous, Hanna! I love the muted tones. I also reall like that we can see all of one flower, and only part of the other. Just gorgeous!!

Thanks girls! Seems we all have a weakness for tulips. Must be something in the name *~*

lol .......... nuff said - count me in - same weakness

Very tender and loving image.

the frame even works with this. Very nice.

Very nice! The composition is wonderful. I also like the subtle soft colors. The frame is perfect.

Really lovely and yes the frame is perfect.

this is beautiful. thanks for sharing.

Hanna, Very nicely done. Great colors and composition!

Sweet colors, nice composition, subtlely pleasing.

It?s just the best photo of flowers I?ve seen!(and I saw a lot)

these flowers are beautiful. but this has been overdone and is not worth pursuing. I would recommend shooting in different light as you have great technical excellence

hanna, your execution of this image is flawless, meaning, the lighting the composition etc. But this style,composition with this color has been done many a times. Hence not an original image. The color combination, in my opinion is very 80"ish. You find a lot of flowery wall papers with this combination. I hope you take this in good sport. This is my honest opinion.

-M-B, thankyou for your honest opinion, which is what I always expect on my photos. I am however slightly perplexed at the fact you find the natural colours of a flower 80's-ish. This is how I bought them and I expect they have been this colour for years although possibly produced from cross-pollination or hybridization. When I photograph flowers I'm not looking for 'original' ways to portray them. I only try to capture what I see or feel when I look at them. I'm not arguing with your comment, only explaining my own approach to my subjects. I hope you'll continue to comment. Thanks.

the 80'ish mention was the background color selection with the color of the flower. One question for my learning is, did you use some sort of a diffuser for lighting? the lighting seems so perfect. another question, do you use a macro lens with this? Thanks,

No diffuser, no flash - just ambient window light. I probably used a macro lens to get this close, but to be honest I can't remember.

I like this composition a lot...hey if it is done before...who cares...its your original! and that`s what matters...

very good Job indeed!

 

Just wonderful. Soft tones - nostalgic ! 7.7
