Absolutely stunning. If you ever have the chance I'd love to know how you created that image - creative, simple and evocative. Posted: 11/08/2024 03:59:12
Hi and thanks. :)
It is as I pretty much said. Old sunflower petal floating on a thin layer of water in a black container.
Sidelit, studio strobes.
Then a bit of tidying up in PS.

Simple, 'Less is more' philosophy. Nice. Posted: 11/11/2024 03:31:13

A very simple but elegant image. I find it interesting that the reflection is so black. I think that monochrome is a great choice. I am wondering what you would think of rotating the image so that the black is on the bottom? Posted: 11/14/2024 18:39:08
:) that's how it was originally! After much humming and hawing I decided I preferred it vertical.But I'm still not sure! :) Posted: 11/15/2024 08:54:50
The image flipped as I did is more natural, because it was the way that you photographed it. But the image vertical catches the eye, makes the viewer think, and I am sure would score higher in a competition. Posted: 11/15/2024 18:27:19
Thanks Tom. :) Posted: 11/15/2024 20:11:56
What an inspiration your photos are! Try something new and wow. Vertical is totally creative and makes a great image for hanging on a modern wall. Thank you. Posted: 11/15/2024 17:59:35
