This second photo is much more interesting. The wildflower appears to be stretching forward into view. A nice glimpse of tension.

 

Cheers

Thanks, J, I think I agree with you.

Throwing these up and staring a bit has caused me to re-think the framing of the first slightly so that the sunflower blossom pops a little better (still think the second is stronger), fwiw:

Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

I like the re-framing better on the first; still, the second has more going on in the photo to me.  You have multiple blossoms providing that selective focus effect, the first only has one.

One more from PR.  I was waiting for a beer and thought this resembled a Thomas McKnight scene.

A beautiful scene, indeed, Marc.  Like out of a brochure for a resort.  Sharp as a tack, too.  The only thing that I think could be tweaked is the taming (or complete elimination) of the strong blue cast in the shadow area in the foreground.  You might consider reversing this brushing over this with either a warm WB effect of de-saturation.  Having said this, you might very well like this and if so it's your artistic prerogative!

Thanks for your comments and suggestions Adam.   I've held this one for a while, been back and forth with the blue cast for some time; but I kept coming back to it.  The table is a deep, gloss, cherry red and shows up in spots if you zoom in close (right front edge of table). I think the blue is a reflection of the bright blue sky off the gloss coating on the table.  In the end, I decided to go with that and keep the blue.  

 

With that said how would one due this in LR:   brushing over this with either a warm WB effect of de-saturation

 This is along the lines of what I had in mind...

I selected the brush with the saturation slid all the way to the left and then simply brushed the shadow area.  I took just one pass to illustrate my general idea and didn't spend time fine tuning the affected area (e.g., there is still some blue cast toward the bottom of the center column).

Thanks Adam...I found the brush, I could never figure out how to change blue without affecting the rest of the blue in the photo.....very valuable little tool...thanks so much.   I will play around with it, and will probably land someplace in the middle.

A 120 PanF+ 50 shot, from May, with Ilfosol DD-X.

I knew I had a backlog on pushing processed images online, hadn't realised it was 5 months!

I have 45 unprocessed rolls of 35mm sat at home too, a tiny amount for some of you I'm sure, but for me that's a lot! And I've only just got started on using my newly setup darkroom too - so little time - I'm over 100 pages behind catching up on this thread too!!!

Coogee go gently for 45 rolls, you have all the time :)

now that you have a lab  :)  b&w development will be faster than color

 

Nice picture of cemetery :) in Ilford PanF

... and Welcome again to our thread :)

Adam and Marc I recognize that sometimes color is not easy to work.

That's why I think sensor for color must evolve because it isn't satisfying at this stage

and in waiting for that , film has done its job  :)

Actually, the magazine I was photographing for, refused it because of bad light. It was later published in a book by an advertising company. The light came from a one foot square window under the roof.

Xenia I think you can print this picture and hanged with a large frame :)

Sometimes , I cannot explain why some photos can be refused by a mag

 

Your pictures posted above show your great experience as photographer !

Bravo

Regards

It is getting cold in my hometown, time to go into the darkroom. Please excuse the bad quality of the scan from a 13x18 print, I have to talk to Santa Claus about a better scanner.

best wishes

Marc

 

... but I like this grain Gary :D

Great portrait as said Gary

Marc I think cold is sometimes welcome :)

Sorry for missing the fun over the past couple of days.

Allow me to jump back into the rhythm with a couple of scorched sunflowers from Jerusalem.

I welcome any personal preference between the two...

Adam the second seems better for me

For the color it's very nice and faithful of this dried sunflower

As you have the opportunity I think you can still crop, like that buildings behind

will be less visible :)

Thanks for posting

Regards

Henry
