Re: Flower

Lot of work gone into making that photo.
Have to be honest, as always, and say I can't make up my mind if I like it as a photo or look at it more as a painting. I don't dislike it, maybe because its definately different to the usual flower type photos.

Re: Flower

I like it Jonni - is it a real flower ?

Creative, gritty and lively without loosing the delicate feel of the subject.

As ever the lighting is great and again it's good to get a description of the set up.

Re: Flower

Very clever, but not my 'cup of tea', not a criticism at all just an observation based on my personal preferences.

Re: Flower

I did wonder if it was fake (not that it matters) as the top 3 petals show off the material.
