At first glance I thought this photograph was a painting. The colours are so genuine and calming. The deep blues hold your eyes as the light purples soften the tones of the blues.

The whole concept of this photograph is breathtaking. The lighting is spot on, and adds a touch of serenity to it. This is by far one of my favorite macro flower shots. Not only is it calming, it is crisp and clean with a hint of integrity. (At least that is what I believe). The more you look into the photograph the more meanings begin to unfold before your eyes. Not many photographs can do that to me. Honesty. Purity. Tranquility. Those are the three words that sum up this photograph for me.

Beautiful job!

So beautiful. How do you get your photos to have that soft, glowy, pastel sort of look to them? I assume it's done in Photoshop or a similar program, but what exactly do you do?

ivadesign In reply to CravenLunatic [2010-03-17 15:58:04 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much
I do a whole bunch of things, levels, selective color, color balance, etc. etc. It's really a long process I'm thinking about writing a tutorial because so many people ask me that lately

Awww, this is absolutely GORGEOUS! A very rare color, I've never seen such roses in my life!

actually those are primroses and I was also amazed when I saw that they were blue.

You're very welcome!
And it's nice to know the names of the flowers! By the way, maybe
you should consider posting the names of the flowers on your pictures in the
descriptions from time to time? I for one would love to know them all

ivadesign In reply to Agetian [2010-03-16 15:41:48 +0000 UTC]

that's a very good suggestion, and to tell you the truth I have thought about that, but the problems is that I don't know the names of ALL the flowers... but I think I will do that from now on (if I know their names)
