Great lighting and detail

Great use of low saturation. Good shot technically. Very good overall

Still beautiful - lacking a little colour. Nice photo though with good dramatic lighting.

Love the image, but too dark at top left - otherwise would have marked even higher. Beautiful faded pink colour to the rose.

Gorgeous! I've noticed that not many people read the detail of the challenge ... to emphasize the age of your subject with your photographic techniques! ... instead they simply took a pic of something that looked old to them ... but this photo perfectly meets the challenge. And I love the mood your lighting creates. sylk

Beautiful, I was amazed at the details of this photo. The lighting accents it wonderfully.

Beautiful texture.

The bright unfocussed spot at the top is a problem. Try rotating the rose to push it out of the top of the frame.

very nice composition on this 'old' flower... the lighting is nice as well... good shot :) - jmsetzler

this is an interesting and well balanced shot

Just gorgeous!

I reallylike this. The details are superb--wonderful textures from the veins on the petals--The light ighlights the details of the petals and the subdued colours--but rich--stop this from becoming cliched.-andrewm

I agree! This challenge is a nice opportunity to subvert an old cliche :). Great framing, lighting, and DOF.

excellent shot.
08/05/2002 09:58:00 PM
I am not sure what this is... Cabbage?

Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject.
Composition - good
Technical Aspects - very good. I'd like to see a version in more light for comparison.
Meets Challenge - yes
Visual Impact / Originality - good

I think your picture would have been just as convincing if you had better lighting. The detail has been degraded by the low light. Depth of field could have been better with a small aperature and longer exposure. Autool

I like the composition, and the overall "feel" of this shot, but the close up is almost too overwhelming for me - it just gives me an odd feeling. Love the color. lhall

nice concept for this challenge. good focus, but some of the highlights from the lightsource to the right bother me. -- gr8photos (5)

Hmmm.... I'm not really happy with the lighting. Great subject though.
08/05/2002 01:43:00 PM
This is an excelent picture, it has it all and, technically, I can't fault it. Love the colour, love the texture (this could have won the texture challenge) and it spills emotion. I think, although (I'm only expressing one opinion) I think the link to the challenge is weaker than it could be... (8)

I like this idea. It's a tad dark...would like a touch more color and dof too. 7 Lisa

The petal at the top kinda fades and looks more llike something in the background.

A wilted or dried flower was one of my choices (on a checklist of 5 possble items. I didn't think I could do the shot justice. You did it and then some! Congrats.
