Clouds are coming...even if you are beautiful.

As usual, Sharon, your lighting and composition are masterful. The canvas texture here is an interesting choice, and an effective one, imo. I doubt I would have the courage to texturize this shot, given the detail of the petals, but it certainly works. Did you arrange this lighting with the texture in mind?

I really like the subtle colors. Was this done with lighting, or added in post-processing?

[Bobobird]

Another superbly superb shot.

Was the muslin like fabric placed before the shot or added in post?

[Daisy Mae]

Hi Bobo and Al.. thank you.

It is a baby muslin ( not very glam)..I pinned it behind the shot...work with the light and draped with blu tac.
some pp and the lightest paper texture

All so technical.

[Bobobird]

So the "front" part is pp and not a real piece of muslin?

One of your best...you take a photograph and produce a work of art. I look, then say...how does she do that? Then I have to open an image and discover what you did. Well done Sharon.

[Quinn]

Yep Well done Sharon, another winner !

Sharon, great painting, I mean photo! Is there a particular great master who inspired you? Simply master peace quality.

[Daisy Mae]

Thank you louise, Philip and Joe. I wouldn't say I had any particular inspiration .

Bobo...all the muslin is real ( it has the suares on!) the last thing I did was apply a very light paper texture over the whole thing in PP...am guessing you think either I should have left that out or perhaps used a finer muslin drape?

[Nat]

Beautiful .....if you leave off the texture, and print on canvas, would be a lovely thing on a wall.

[Daisy Mae]

Thanks Nat.

Some people have said the colours are too muted but I find the shades quite restful.

Some re-working required though.

[CNelson]

Very nice and the canvas texture enhances.
