My flowers? Wow! The kind comments are greatly appreciated. I’m a very new photographer so encouragement helps. Also, I’m interested in what AM’s thoughts are on “Carnation in Hiding.” That is one of my own favorites, but the idea that making the white pop more is interesting.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the explanations on your processing. I was actually expecting that more processing was put into it. Anyway, congratulations again for a fantastic photo.

Hello kriz,

You don’t have to thank me. The photo is good, so credit where credit is due.
Thanks again for your participation.

Hi june,

I still haven’t decided on which one is my favorite (maybe I never will). But I agree with you. The second group is very “dramatic”. I think that on the first one of the flowers, something could have been improved, even in processing, to highlight more the white, but nonetheless, is not bad at all.

Thanks for the mention; having arthritis in my hands I tend to processing to a minimum! Nothing fancy in the way of programs either, this was carried out in a freebie called Photofiltre, after converting the RAW file to JPEG in Capture One LE (free as well!).

From what I remember, adjustments were made to the contrast and levels and then I used a couple of inverted colour layers and added a touch of sharpening?

Cheers, Chris

Thanks for such a positive description, it’s a big big boost.
Just checked out your entries, they are all marvellous examples of what minimalist photos would be like. I will try to take photos following your tips there.

I like the second the best, the contrast of the darkness and the select features of the flowers, made all the more dramatic and creative.
