Same arrangement as the prior post in B/W. Slightly different look with less severe cropping.
Zeiss 35 mm, F16, cable, mirror up, polarizer, Nikon D300

Ken:
Wow, what a beautiful bouquet! Congrats to your wife for the arrangement and to you for such a beautiful capture. Like the white background. Details in the large version are fabulous. There is a slight green hue in the bg around the lower edge of the flowers which is noticeable in this image but less so on the larger version. Tidy up the minor green nit and print this large.

Ken,
First my compliments again on this arrangement - balanced and harmonious but without seeming artifice. I can see why you did a second study of it. With regard to the image, it's exceptional for my tastes. Excellent detail produced by the light and exposure and the high key bg complements the highlights on the flowers. Exceptional image.

While I like the Bw conversion, this version cries out to be redone in oils, I can't believe how much it looks like a painting or a graphics image and not a photo. That's not bad Ken it's great. Well done kudos to you and your very talented wife. Great image and arrangement.

Fantastic art Ken. This has a style all it's own. The bg and frame add a lot to the presentation also. Awesome job.
