Challenge: Transparency (Classic Editing)
Camera: Olympus C-3020Z
Location: Front Yard

Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/320

I used two cd blanks that are used on the bottom of spindle packed cd's. I held the two cd's at different angles and adjusted the plane relative to the subject until I got a light milky type of transparency. I focused through the two center holes on the center of the flower. I cropped out as much of an adjacent flower as I could and maintain the aspect ratio.

Nice shot. The transparency is not very evident, though.

very nice shot! looks like it was photographed through stained glass or something like that. i especially like how the center of the flower is sharp but the rest is blurred and even distorted. good colors as well.

I think this picture is absolutely gorgeous. It is very soft and elegant looking. karmat

Nice and common

I love the softness of this image. You have done a great job of creating a nice example of an 'impressionistic' painting, IMHO. I wonder what this image would look like with just the flower... Would it be possible to drape the background of this one with a dark cloth or something to let the flower really stand out? I originally scored this image with an 8 but after looking more closely, i think it deserves a 10. good shot! = 10 - jmsetzler

Very nice effect here. The colors are very delicate and yet well saturated. The soft focus effect on the outside edges make this photo one of my 10 best this week..hokie

Beautiful, effemeral still life.

Your transparency makes a nice soft focus filter. It gives an almost surreal look to the photograph.

Guess there's no avoiding a flower shot -- I assume I'm looking through some type of glass, but it's just not clear enough to tell...

Nice, your transparency gives a soft focus type look that is very eye pleasing.

gorgeous. This looks like an oil painting. I wish the petal in the foreground were a bit clearer but great job!

The focus gives a most painterly quality. It's a gorgeous photo, regardless of how it fits within the challenge topic. Masterful handling of your tools.

its nice but whats transparent about it???
07/01/2002 03:00:00 PM
wow, this is so moody and beautiful. the focus is perfect. I'm very glad the framing is off center. the warping and color added by whatever is between the lens and the flower is fabulous.
07/01/2002 12:43:00 PM
nice... : )
07/01/2002 11:35:00 AM
That's pretty. Not sure if I like all the fuzz on the edges. Is that edited? What is trasnparent in this photo?
07/01/2002 10:12:00 AM
Great shot... looks like a painting.
07/01/2002 09:49:00 AM
Is the soft focus caused by the transparent object you shot it through? Otherwise I see no "Transparency" in this picture.

This is very beautiful. Well done. My vote: 10
