The Classical Vase With Flowers Arrangement

I'm back where I was when I started uploading to PN about nearly 3

years ago .... shooting flowers again. I know it's not original but

I like doing them.

Some things have changed ... specially the place I 'shoot' in now.

It's a dirty old barn with some dirty windows and a door where the

light flows in by high noon. There is a big tree right outside

casting a play of light and shadows if I'm lucky.

 

I think I was lucky today.

 

Of course I have several versions - color, desaturated color, sepia,

color+desaturated sepia and etc. - but for a start I prefer to show

the BW.

 

Comments very appreciated.

classic is what I thought when I saw the thumbnail. However you converted this, I like what you have done. I think you did get some nice light. Did you dodge or burn any of it?

Bente, truly splendid...!!! Light is magical, composition is classical and perfect. I love it very much...

interesting work ..and hi again;-)..marita

Very nice light though I am always a bit doubtful about flowers in b&w. Good composition and textures - the old wood is nice.

Bent, I like the light, dim but the right parts are nicely lighted. The classical arrangement works as well! Pnina

Great still life in B&W. Beautiful lighting!

This is a wonderful composition. The lighting is wonderful and captures the textures perfectly. I like the combination of lustrous fruit with the flowers.

 

Very best wishes. Peter

So beautiful. Outstanding lighting, details and composition. Best regards.

Hi Bente... i was wandering through your portfolio and i found that you and i have similar tastes in matter of still life... i particularly loved this image... mostly becouse its b/w conversion is very well done and rendered a great amount of details... moreover there is a lovely lateral light, very soft and natural, and also the bouquet is full and well assorted... yes it might be a classical, but it is a very well executed one and worth of a big high quality print, and hanged on a wall...

Hello Bente . Beautiful composition and good lights .
