golden lily underexposed Please view larger for higher quality) - Nevis

WOW. Really like the sharp shadows. Congrats

Glad you like it - always trying to present something a little different - sometimes I succeed and other times I don't.

Thanks for your input.

Ciao Tony, i like this underexposed image, it give to the shadows an special force, very well done!

Thanks for your visit - much appreciated. PS I have stopped by your images recently.

This underexposed lily makes a wonderful design. Well done, Tony !

 

All the best....Anne & Runar :-)

Very attractive presentation. Best regards.

Tony - Stunning - More than just a photo, real work of art. Possibly my monitor, but it looks like you have lost some detail in the center of the flower with the under exposure?

 

Harry

Excellent work! Cheers!

A R - thanks for your kind words.

Sumon - your input is appreciated.

Harry - that red channel got overloaded and with a bit of processing, i should be able to bring back those details. Faced with time constraints and heavy midday sun, I dipped into a 'cook book' to see if something else other than 'correct exposure' would do the trick. Thanks for spotting that.

Doc - thanks for your input.

Forgot to mention that i also used a circular polarizer - Kind regards to all who left comments and also to those who rated.

Wow! What an eyecatcher! It looks like it's made out of gold leaf with a fire in the center. Great idea and very nicely executed. Thanks for sharing, Tony!

This is beautiful

Great work Tony

 

Regards, Bill

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I am happy to share and that is easier since I am not earning my 'daily bread' from photography. That allows me more freedom to try stuff and express myself visually for the pure joy of doing it. I am still looking forward to meeting you in Alaska as discussed but unfortunately a little medical issue needs to be cleared up before I head out to your part of the world. All the very best,

I do appreciate your frequent visits - thanks for your input. I am pleasantly surprised that the number of views for this image is in the thousands when most of my images are significantly less. Best regards,

Very attractive shot...with super presentation....Regards

it really comes alive when viewed larger. i bet it was one of those pleasant surprises.

I am late to the party and not much more to add except that I must try an under exposure in the future if it will lead to golden results like this.

Very cool, Tony. Viewed larger makes this flower fly out at me in a dramatic way.

Keith - thanks.

Dror - thanks - it was not a complete surprise. Sometimes I play with my 5-shot 1EV auto bracket just in case I need to do an HDR and some of the under-exposed shots appealed to me - not often but sometimes.

Bella - I do appreciate your input.

Liz thanks for your input.

Superb shot and presentation. Onemust see the larger view to get the full impact of it. Best regards.

Thanks.
