Death in Color

...

Magnifico ramos de flores color y composicion, PN, no seven, Un cordial saludo Dion,

Interesting approach Howard, all the flowers are photographed with their utmost beauty....Pnina

Howard, I like what you are doing here...The top of the flowers could be too light...could be my monitor.

Hi Sarah,

 

Strange situation. The color was very light almost white. Look at the leaves compared to the flower. I am not sure how to handle exposure for the next time?

Interesting work, Howard. I've taken shots of dying flowers, too.

 

You can always take two shots, with one slightly underexposed, and put them together in PS if you have an extreme range of contrast.

now it looks different/better...i am awake now...monitor?

Good idea Kim....

I guess, she dies like she lived beautiful. You show character. I love the texture,like You would have used a brush. Light and color mixes well.

Very unusual approach and beautiful caption,Howard.

Don't know really... I like the approach you used, but there's something about the composition. Could have to do with the (direction, distribution and intensity of the) lighting or the vast dark background. (but of course could also just be that I'm too much into going as close to a flower as possible...). Can't really put my finger on it just now...

I'm so tempted to crop off right to square and dial down the flash 1/3 to 2/3 on the left to retain colors. Nice idea on the reflective surface, Howard.

Nice detail & color. I, like Wilson, am tempted to crop a little. Always fun to try something new! :)

I really like this, as is. The colors are wonderful because there is quite a range of them. I also like your crop - there's always something about negative space in an image that makes it more aesthetic to my eye. Very nice!
