One of my vision (or imagined idea) with the fabric rose I have is to portray it as a dark element with layers and layers of fabric emanating from the center. Here is what i came up with after post-processing. Thank you very much as always for viewing.  Nikon D70, 50mm lens with a PK-13 extension tube, ISO 400, f/16 at 1/320 second. |

Quite creative Willie, and nicely accomplished I think your goal is.

I like this, I presume that you have added the extra noise which helps give more texture to those petal leaves. You have recorded a good range of tones within the image.

As said - doom and goth. Which doesn't mean that I don't like it, but the other rose image is uplifting, whereas this one wants to drag me down into the depths.

As much as I appreciate the imagery, I am of a mind that if I wanted a nice charcoal drawing, I'd produce one. There comes a point for me where I have to decide...is it photography, or is it graphic design.
Much like Steve's work, while it is fun and to some degree utilizes photographic images, is it out of the camera photography, or is it photoshop design...
I say, cute, but you are so good at photography, I'd like to see you back there, working an image to its fullest.
Hope that didn't sound too snooty.

I'm at my state of photography where I am trying to capture a scene with the camera with the intent to process it specifically to arrive at my vision. It helps me become more conscious on how I frame the shot, how to light it (or how to see the interaction of the light with the subject) , and how to add a certain mood to the captured image. It's more like me trying to learn what it really means to have the vision of a scene and try to show it on my final edit. I always love environmental portraiture photography. If given the opportunity to go outside I will certainly do that.  |

Jiro, I like this more than your other roses. It has something that draws me. It also reminded me of "film noir".

I had the same idea as Giannis, it reminds me of an old, thriller movie shot. Are you still reading that book about cinemetography? Perhaps it's the softness of the focus and moody shadows. The focus is on the upper right third but I would have, typically, put it on the center of the rose. I assume that you did that on purpose? What's up with that? I'm having a hard time taking it in, though - a hard time reading it, at first, because of it not quite fitting on my screen.  |
