Description I know I knw. Its not the creative usual. Ive had hardly anytime to do good well thought out photoshoot from the pressure of a new school year and a new school but I'm really sorry guys. I know I'm letting my watcher down.

Hopefully I'll get more time after school starts . . . or not.

Please Comment!
I love to read them.

The simplicity and frailness shown in this shot is what makes it so beautiful. It is like a metaphor for the transitory. Powerful.

I love this image, the flower looks great. The calm, grey tones suits it well. Very creamy and delicate. It really makes me wanna know what a black/white version of this would look like.

I would personally though have given the right flower a bit more space, I feel it's too pushed up against the edge. It also has this strange, almost inner glow-photoshop effect around it, which looks a bit odd to me.

Thank you so much for the constructive comment! The only thing I did in photoshop was make it more black and white, so Im not sure why it looks like that. Yeah, I wish that I had got more of the second flower too my lens isnt very wide angle

You're welcome. The glow on the back flower might just be a backlight shining through or something.
Either way, the picture is still beautiful

yeah, now that I think about it, it was the sunlight coming through the window. I quite like the effect it gives, lucky timing.

I love that this is so simple and subdued with a monotone colorscheme. good use of depth of field with a favourable composition. I'll definitely be intending to buy a print

Really? You might buy it! Wow!!! Thank you for even considering it! (If that just made my day dose that mean I have no life? haha) Thank you so much for the great input. I really appreciate it.

I love the macro zoom used on this shot. I'm a sucker for selective focus >.> Was this retouched with Photoshop at all, or just all in-camera-awesome? Very beautiful shot. The colors with the purposely out-of-focus background give it an oddly soothing feel.

DistantTree In reply to Crackoala [2009-09-09 01:26:29 +0000 UTC]

In photoshop I dulled the colours to give it a calmer feel (part of the window frame got in the shot and its this horrible orange brown colour and I really didnt like that) but other than that its all natural

Thanks so much for the comment!

Great shot with great perspective and suitable colors. The focus is also very beautiful!

And now I'm off to see the rest of your gallery! ; )

This is just absolutely wild Jade, I love this. Whatever you've done here sure looks expensive (hint).
Definitely a work of art!

expensive? ha! no way. I just hot glued the flowers to a cherry stem and took a picture

Silly Jade... by expensive I meant that I think it could easily sell. The print, I mean. I could totally imagine it hanging somewhere fancy in a nice frame and all. I'm serious.

You're welcome. One of these days I'm going to have to get a lesson from you on photography.

Great idea. Thanks, I'll make it a print right away

No problem, I know you will have an awesome future ahead of you in photography. Especially being as good as you are and with this much creativity at such a young age.
