Hi Lucien, I may be a little late in seeing your flower contest winner, but that doesn't take away from it at all! The rose is beautiful and delicate. Love the lighting and focus. I can almost smell that beautiful rose. I'm not surprised at all that you won the contest! The presentation of the rose is wonderful! Congratulations on your win!!! :o) Nancy

Hey there Lucien!

I was happy to see this gorgeous flower photographed by you :) the softness of the petals show excellent clarity and focus. The green backdrop is a perfect setting to allow the wonderful colors of the flower to shine through. I like the placement of the flower in the upper 1/3 of the photo, it creates a nice frame. Thanks for the share Lucien, it is a wonderful photo!

This is very elegant and pretty. The vibrance of the leaves speaks volumes! The lushness of the green leaves makes it look truly alive! Bravo!

The flower itself is gorgeous with the touches of pinks, lavendars, yellows. The leaves for the most part are nice also. The lower whatever, like wood, is okay.

It looks great as far as I'm concerned,Lucien!
But then I'm not a 'serious' Photographer so my opinion isn't worth very much!
I like the looks of the picture though so'there ya' go!'

Good eye for seeing this one and great skill in capturing the image.

Placement of the flower is spot on. The pastel colors are nicely rendered with just enough detail to give a wonderful subtleness.

The framing of the green leaves works well to enhance and bring out the beauty of the rose.

A great entry for the contest. A cyber six is a poor substitute for the beauty of this one ~ Steve

Comment from MKFlood


Lucien i do like this capture. now i have question because this is really not my field but willing to learn. i love the direct capture of the awesome looking flower. i just dont understand why the dead space at the bottom wasnt cropped out. being i never really had any kind of art or photography classes im just want to know if this some kind presentation suggestion they teach. i know about the dead space in art but not certain about photography. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and is still eye appealing to the viewer. just curious but still like the anyway. (thumbs up)

    MK,

    good morning,
    first off, Thank you for having taken the time to look and review the Rose, and ask the question.
    I really appreciate your complimentary review and that you like the compositional elements.

    In a photo for me dead space does the same thing as in art. It gives the image balance, or sometime a asymmetrical flow, with the intent of leading the viewer towards the main visual element.

    In this case, it does that, and also adds depth and perspective to the composition.In this photo, it also adds some different textures within/to the photo, that for me enhances the smoothness of the rose's pedals, which visually helps them stand out and pushes the rose towards the observer, which again enhancing the overall feel of the composition and then of course gives it balance.

    I hope that helps you understand my intent, and in my opinion, how some of the same elements that make for a good piece of art, also applies to a good photograph.

    Take care,
    Cheers.
    Lucien

    Interesting and that is why I ask. So if the dead space assist leading up to the POV then that is encouraged. Hmmm. I'm gonna have to think on that one and how I approach to attempt something like that. Thanks for telling Lucien!(thumbs up)

    MK.
    is that not why you have, or create negative and dead space in art? To either create a balance or create a imbalance, to create conflict/interest to a composition, why would it be any different in photograph?
    The other thing in this photo it creates different textures, the leafs and then the bricks, that to me help enhance the delicate nature and softness to the pedals.

    take care and cheers.

Lucien,
A beautiful picture of this delicate Rose in full bloom it's near white petal tips kissed with delicate rose pink artistically framed by it's green foliage. Beautiful composition, framing with beautiful natural lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
