Day Lily

We've had one of the wettest March's I can remember. When I finish posting this image, I'll get back to work on my Ark. shooting is out of the question so I've gone back into some older images and done some conversion work. After seeing Wolfgang's tulip, I wondered how that might look as a monochromatic image and liking the results, I played with one of my own images.

I love this! They have no shame,




pushing up their private parts like madonna and Mick Jagger!

They be proud puppies!

Chris, I love the slight toning of this image and the light is gorgeous. The only thing that I keep thinking when I look at it, is that the top of the flowers feel to me like the severe crop is not allowing them to breathe. They feel boxed in.

Here to show you what I mean. If you prefer I delete this image, let me know and I will.

This is a beautiful image - - - the black and white treatment is stunning. I do agree wholeheartedly with Maggie about space being needed around the edges. However I do not particularly like the way that she has added so much black on the top and has not changed the sides. I think that if you just created a larger black canvas with the same proportions - so that there is 1/2 or so all around - - - it would do wonders to your image. Very nice job Chris.

I just threw your image into my online Pixlr Editor and added the canvas to show you what I would do if it were my own image. Not much difference, but gives a bit of space around the outside edges:

It's amazing how much different it looks with such a small change of canvas!
