Dear John,
First, many thanks for your comments on my portolio. I^ve been living some problems on usefilm ( not having the comment alerts by e-mail) maybe you are in the same situation too..
I think left side is reflecting dead and other side is reflecting life...
Smart idea...
Conngratulations!

There's a nice classic feel to this, John. I love the good range of tones which contribute to the mood of this shot.I know you are going to get a lot of satisfaction oout of your new-found interest in b.w. photography. Many thanks for your kind comments. Best wishes, David.

Thanks for the comments much appreciated! No cloning tool was used, flower was just as photographed, with no changes in the scan other than the crop. Thanks again John

Hi John, I like your depth of field, but the upper right-hand corner is too bare and overexposed to make a uniform composition. Likewise, the bottom right corner is too dark. I like the dark shadow/color around the center but the petals seem like they were smoothed over with a cloning tool. The color is nice, could be clearer, you might try cropping a little closer or coming in from a different angle, towards the light perhaps.

p.s. This is my first comment, John, I like all your other photos. If I commented on all the ones I liked, my time would be spent always applauding, so you're my guinea pig. forgive me, tsw

I like this composition a lot. As Bryce said, the trees frame the gazebo nicely. I personally don't have a problem with the angle it was shot, IMO. I really love the tones. Was that a product of the filter or did you do some duotoning as well? Whatever you did, it worked. Nice job.

good use of using the trees as a frame, just a thought maybe you could have got one ata lower angle to add more room inbetween the tree on the right and the shelter?

I can't believe this has only a couple views. I think it's lovely. Nice delicate colors against a non-distracting dark background. A nit pick could be the merger of the two petals at the top of the frame, otherwise, well done.

Hi John. I noticed this picture and wondered if i could usefully make some comments that I believe are constructive. You are, of course, free to ignore anything I say. 8>
This type of picture can be very dramatic and you have picked a subject with extremely difficult lighting. The very harsh sunlight and the very dark shadows create a problem for film to register everything you saw with the same fidelity.
My first comment concerns the scan which appears to have artifacts created by compression into .jpg format. I have uploaded a different version of the file with a red ring drawn around one of the artifacts for you.
I have also cropped the picture to lose the very large area of competing highlight which tends to draw the eye away from your subject matter (the path).
Despite the fact that the lighting was difficult, with normal exposure the film should have been able to record a full range of tones from black to white. i think your picture appears to from zone i to x (see grayscale on the bottom of the usefilm page). I have changed the tonal values slightly in my version, to give you an example of what I mean.
The other marks on the version I have uploaded show the path (your subject) and an arrow which indicates the direction you could have moved to get more of the path in view. (it is obscured partly by a tree. Getting detail into shadows can be done in several ways but here it looks as if the metering was influenced by the very bright area that I removed in my version. Metering close to a tree from the tree would have given you far more shadow detail. The path would have moved towards a lighter zone but could have been controlled a bit at the printing stage. Just opening the aperture from your metered reading by one or two stops would have provided a little more shadow detail.
Keep shooting because you have an eye for a picture.
Cheers!
Jeff
