Last Rose (series)
« on: December 03, 2022, 11:13:13 am »

This is the beginning of a series of high key photographs of the last rose of 2022. Even though it’s December, this bloom still had a pleasant fragrance and color. More to come in the near future.

Your comments and thoughts are always welcomed and appreciated.

It's a masterpiece… The B&W processing gives this rose a very strong, crisp and clean look. Also, the high key fits the subject perfectly, the rose looks like silver.
Bravo, Bob.

It's a beaut.  I try not to put frames around my images but I wonder in this case if a thin black frame might add to this image.

Francois and Mark: Thank you.

I don't know, but it's worth a try.

Just as nice as your first image. In fact, I have a slight preference for this one (and no explanation for that, I just don't know why).

Yes, keep them coming, I love your roses.

The final photo in the "Last Rose" series, and a third variation on my general processing theme.

I love the slightly abstract quality of your last image.

The last one is more intimate… It's like we're now able to a have a peek inside the rose. It's an excellent and pleasant member of the set.

Thanks, Francois. (I think I'll end up combining them in a triptych at some point.)

Good idea… you may even try to play with symmetry. I'm not sure whether it's a good idea or not, though.
