February 2025 - Blossom in Black and White
Original
About the Image(s)
Original was shot with (again) my old, old Nikon D60. 1/160 sec at 32 mm focal length. f/8, ISO 100 on a tripod. The conversion was done in LR, increased texture, clarity and whites, sharpness and luminence. I darkened the background quite a bit to eliminate some distracting foliage, but left some shadowy leaves in the upper right. I welcome your thoughts.

Great focus and details. You have nice tonal values and contrast. I like that you left some of the background showing so the flower was not floating. I also like it in color. Posted: 02/12/2025 15:40:24

The main part of the flower is sharp and you did do a good job darkening the background. I tried a little higher contrast. Also, I soften the background as the top of flower was out of focus, yet the background was sharp. Nice job. Posted: 02/18/2025 15:47:52
