About Thought it would be interesting to see how this looked focusing on one flower versus the entire bed. As always more of my images can be seen at http://www.artbeacon.com/jmg-galleries. Thanks for your time and comments.

This is a stunning photo. The red is absolutely exquisite, enhanced by the monochrome background.

Jim,
I just love this shot! Your flower photography makes me want to garden...which is not something I have been known to enjoy! :) Excellent work! Charisse


Hanna Segal   {K:13469} 1/16/2004
Yes, it does stand out. Beautiful work, excellent idea and treatment!


Harry Eggens   {K:14804} 1/16/2004
Very beautiful image with wonderful selective coloring. Lovely creative work. Thanks for your comments Jim. The Eagle image is cropped by approximately one third, so what you see is two third of the entire slide....Best regards Harry


Rob van Kempen   {K:1177} 1/16/2004
Lovely piece of spotcoloring... or rather discoloring the rest...and a good composition of course!


Amna Al Shamsi   {K:21731} 1/16/2004
Excellent capture, wonderful color and the background makes it really stand out...well done! (to my Favorite)


Tom Pokusa   {K:586} 1/16/2004
Jim, this is a stunning photo. This is just me thinking out loud, but I wonder how it would look with a greater DOF? The red flower is already strong focal point because of the color and position. To my eye, the heavily out of focus flowers in the far back almost become distracting. Just putting the idea out there for discussion.


Dan Arthur   {K:4280} 1/16/2004
Jim, I love the photo! I very much think that the color on B&W is a fabulous way to make thing interesting and you've proved that here. Great work! Regards, Dan


KEVIN TEMPLE   {K:7704} 1/17/2004
great shot Jim
I love the way you have isolated the flower (Great)
By/the/by your suggestion on flipping the photo I NEVER FOR ONE SECOND THOUGHT TO DO THAT.
I honestly feel so stupid as I am using PS all the time .Many thanks for your suggestion and keep in touch
KEVIN

HI Jim, thanks for your feed back. This is my second attempt at commenting on this pic, I lost my internet connection for a couple of days. Anyhow looks great good job isolating the red color...ta roger


Francesca May   {K:6877} 1/21/2004
Nice picture!


Lana Arcemont   {K:49} 1/26/2004
This is wonderful, Jim. How lucky you are to live in San Franscisco. I lived in Santa Barbara for three years and only wish that I would have enjoyed photography during that time.


Enjoy    {K:16125} 2/11/2004

Gerry Pacher   {K:7297} 2/12/2004
Marvellous composition - your idea, to focusing on this one flower, was brilliant ;-)


Jiri Gregor   {K:759} 2/28/2004
Jim, I am a member one day and just have seen all Your photos in Your portfolio. Hardly to say which is better. All of them are absolutely beautiful and this tulip is very clear by bw and coloured parts. By the way, thanks for Your comment. (I am sorry for my English)


tybo n   {K:953} 3/13/2004
Nice shot. Can use for commmercial.


Derek Dixon   {K:4948} 12/21/2005
beautiful result, nice presentation - isolating the one flower and only really brings impact upon us, plus we're able to appreciate the beauty of this flower.

What could we improve in this image?
Well, I think you have a excellent picture, but maybe I would try to bring back some of the colour of the green leafs around (foreground tips and fading back, maybe just around 35%), just so the blend looked more natural, not a harsh change from B/W to colour. Just a suggestion on play, as I think it already works as it is.
