Still life V (best view in larger)

Nikkor 50mm lems mounted backwards; flower is backli; uncropped, resize and color toned.

Took a long while to get the focus right, hope you like it.

Ray, what a wonderful effect. I like the backlighting.

Kind of a haunting feel. Very nice wit a creative twist.

Nice composition .. make me want to smell it ...Well done ...!!

Ray, I like the composition, sharpness, and lighting. I'm not sure which button will the color scheme trigger the viewers, but I generally like the result. ^_^

 

BTW, ran some E6s through the Mamiya AF yet?

Thank you all to commenting and rating this one. Wilson, I just got an E-6 loaded on Mamiya AF and I will work thru it and see what's going to get me. Until I get my hands on my dream camera Mamiya ZD (the first meduim format DSLR coming later this year), I will have to settle with filming, developing and scanning -- what a pain. :D

The composition and color are super. But there are just a few things that distract me. The light spot in the backround in the upper left is one. The crop is excellent, but I think I want more definition in the lower right, maybe if you selectively burn in the midtones to accentuate the triangular shaped bloom that coincides with the right bottom crop just a bit, it might accentuate the crop better and add some weight in the lower right. Then, the upper right lacks some detail in the midtones and shadows. I know I sound very critical, but this is such a wonderful image. The changes would be very subtle. Well thought out and lit. Of course, this is just my opinion and what the heck do I know anyway! LOL. All in all this is a wonderful image and I wish I'd have taken it!

very nice and warm colouring and backlight, quite daring to present it in all orange but it works well!

This structure, distributed like this in the space you even could present me in B&W! RE

Special thanks go to Jayme for spending time on commenting the photo. I think I uploaded this one in a big hurry, about 10 minutes after the shot and I should have taken it slowly. However, critiques coming from seasoned photographers like you all make me feel honored and humbled.

Fantastic lighting and great detail!

Sorry I'm late, Ray ... school year's had a tough opening this time around. BUT ... this is spectacular!! Wish I had seen versions I through IV. I love the tones and the bright spots/contrasts here. Wonderful!!

Wonderful, Ray, the color and shadows are well done. Beauty and grace!
