our garden is my daily inspiration. This time it was after a rainshower in the evening.

Since I cannot make up my mind for a favourite I show them all.

They are all lovely, Iduna, and beautifully photographed. I like the combination of sharp and soft focus in each picture. It suits the subject. Nicely done!

Euston,

thank you so much. For the time being I am "focussed" on this soft look which you can create with Leica lenses. You mentioned the sharpness and softness at the same time. With a Leica lens you can have this type of glamour which we all like so very much.

Iduna,

 

Each shot is beautiful with the colors, selective focus and framing. I find no favorite among the series. Lovely drops from heaven deposited on the delicate petals of the rose.

Beautiful.

I keep thinking I'll get tired of flower photos--I know I'm tired of my own. But there are a handful of people on this forum who somehow manage to keep making them increasingly beautiful and always interesting. Your name is high on that select list.

 

The light quality, composition and focus control in this series is just outstanding. And, of course, the water droplets are a nice bonus.

Paul,

this is one of your extra kind and careful comments. I know to appreciate it and it keeps me going. Thanks a lot.

 

Stuart,

 

nice nice, thank you.

 

Brent,

wow, what a nice comment!

To be honest I also thought that these flower-shooting business gets boring but: it will not. I am always trying to make visible a new approach by finding out how a feeling can be expressed. For the time being it consists in a kind of making it a bit distant by telelenses or softening achromas etc. and yet the depth comes out if your focus is correct. This process is never going to end and become dull because the light is different every day and so is the texture the shining of the blossom petals etc. I am afraid with the type of macro look you have more or less always the same perspective.

 

Brent, thank you very much, your comment is a great support and inspiration.

Hallo Iduna.

The fine job you did photographing these roses makes them even more beautiful .It is hard to resist flowers with their gorgeous colours.I am sure the Haute Culture designers all look at colours they find in the colourful world of Flora Greetings: John Basso..

Tom,

nice, your feedback, many thanks.

 

John,

yes, I also think that fashion designers get much inspiration from colors and design of nature. Many thanks for your kind comment.
