DP2M. In-camera B&W. Neighbour's garden.
Raw file edited in Sigma Photo Pro.
Cropped in Elements 11.
Contrast and grain in Alien Skin Exposure 5.
I was wearing black shoes, black trousers, and a dark-green raincoat.​

And another edit of the same image. This one using Glamour Glow in Nik Silver.

Good image Rob. Two very different outcomes. The second I like the way the flower is cradled by the branches, as though the petals are the flames of a torch burning. The first much more a botanical illustration, yet also retaining some qualities of flames from a burning torch. . Superb.,

Quite different as Julian says. I prefer the presentation of the second though for much the same reason as Julian states and the extra space works well for me too. The first is probably more like that plagiarist Weston would copy though!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. I also thought of the flames.

Cheers, Pete. I know he rips me off, but I do like his work.

I trust your trousers reached below the knee for the shoot?

Excellent pair of images, Rob. I prefer the 2nd for the whiteness.

Damn, I should have asked before ordering a pair on Amazon!

 

[Rense Haveman]

Nope, the first one for me! Love the isolation!!! Splendid photo!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Rense. Something for everyone. I like em both!
