Colorless Cosmos

I like this, although it is a bit dark for my taste. Perhaps the contrast could be a bit more pronounced? The composition is very interesting.

Al -

 

A rather unique approach to the subject (framing, monochrome), and I like it. Ilan's monitor must be even worse than this one -- My "work" monitor is too dark and too low in contrast compared to the one at home, and I find the "brightness" and contrast in this shot acceptable on this monitor, so it will no doubt be superb at home.

IIan & Stuart,

 

Thanx for the peek and the kind words. I have been using my new MacBookPro....Apple boasts to the brightness of the screen.....I should think about this before posting....Al

I use a Powerbook, so no glossy screen for me (yet), but I doubt my poor monitor is that bad :p . Perhaps the gloss is all the difference it would need (for me). I just think this is a matter of taste. Your photo reminds me of a print I was working on yesterday. I was enlarging a print and it just either seemed to dark for me, or too washed out. I finally managed to get something I liked by using two different contrast grades during the exposure time. I don't know how to do that in photoshop, but I know it's possible. In any case, yours is a great photograph.

Stuart: I don't know if the darkroom time helped -- it did in giving me a break from work -- but I've been reading some articles that have helped, and I don't feel so stuck any more. Oh, and I found a copy of your book on abebooks. It should get here in a week or so.

O.K. Al, sixth time I look at it; time to speak up.

I don't really like flower photos, but this is not a flower photo, is it.

 

Mesmerizing ! I guess the title tells it all.

 

Thanks for sharing.
