About the Image(s)

Delicate flowers which bloom into November here in UK. I fancy I may have got too much green in the background here. Getting the vase 'transparent' was a challenge! 1/160 sec, f10, iso 200, studio flash.

Lovely image and well done.
Did you "make" the background and if so how please?   Posted: 12/05/2025 15:37:33

Thanks. Yes, I made it in photoshop. Tricky to explain but you can see the 'sections', some of which I lightened, others I darkened.   Posted: 12/11/2025 13:00:21

Very artistic Judith - minimalist, delicate, with a sense of calm with your usual artistic flair - nice job. The soft gray background and the sculptural glass vase work well with the salmon-colored flowers and it has the 'feel' of a studio piece. The overall impression is one of a clean, elegant still life but that could use a bit more depth. I'm not as artistic as you and I wouldn't know what to suggest - perhaps some light shaping or changing the background, so it supports the subject a bit more - nonetheless, another well-done artistic image on your part.   Posted: 12/12/2025 21:57:56

Another great and simple flower image. You are so artistic. You made good use of this very interesting vase, and you photographed it very well. The flowers are lovely, sharp from front to back, and well arranged. The flowers leaning to the left being offset with the green bud area on the right is very nice. Maybe a different shade for the background would help but I am not sure of what color to use.   Posted: 12/14/2025 18:32:32

Can you call it 'minimalist', or 'high key'? Simple. 'Less is more'.   Posted: 12/15/2025 13:13:10
