    Re: Dried Hydrangia

    That's my kind of image, Don! Double take abstract, unless you tell us beforehand what it is (as you did!). Some may pick on the lighting but I like it here. It gives the petals an almost abalone look to them. And while the shadows are hard edged, they're not so obtrusive. They give the image an almost 3D feel. Nice!

    The color study is exquisite! I love the way the blue seems to flow through out the photo.

    Reminds me of Van Gogh's Blue period. Beautifully done!
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: Dried Hydrangia

    Don, you really did a nice job all around on this. Great framing, the lighting is fine and your processing helps give this the artsy/abstract feeling that goes so well with it.
    Good stuff!!
