Very beautiful and creative, congrats on the awards. That is how many of my shots happen as well, just a random idea:) I like the contrast of the black and white, bringing out the pretty pink. The reflections add a nice effect

Great Concept. The crystal bowl [obviously special to you] nicely backdrops the centre of attention - the rose. The vignetting adds to the whole. I love it.

Very clever idea Annie, splendid composition, especially by its simplicity; the bowl is absolutely special and with this dusty gray background it looks like drawn digitally; the rose is so fragile and lovely; nice light - great capture.

This is simplistic yes but brilliant.
Technically the image is sound and I cannot find fault with it.
I am always amazed how the simplest ideas can have such profound impact.
Great work and thanks for the share.

Hi avmurray,
It's a very simple composition but yet it is striking. I like the faded edges and the black and white mixed with the color pink. Simple yet artistic. Sharp with good impact and centre of interest and good lighting.
Thanks for the story.

I love all the bw tones you've captured and the depth portrayed. The light pink rose is perfect as the color does not overpower the rest of the image. I also like the way the reflections appears to be the rose stem. Most excellent.

BTW, I'll be away for a couple of months working on my portfolio. I'm preparing for some gallery shows and festivals upcoming. Hopefully some money will be in the mix :)

Take care, Kelan
