Overall

Impact


As I was scrolling down through your gallery this shot really grabbed my attention. I like how you have used both the focus and shadow to add depth to this piece. I am also very taken with how there is at once both a hopefulness and a certain melancholy to this shot. There is not much that I see where I would offer a suggestion for things to have done differently. This is a wonderful shot and I am so glad to see that you shot this in black and white, I feel that it is so much more powerful as a monochrome image. It adds to the impact of this image. I think that the framing of this is so well done. Beautiful image!

Thank you! Β I thought the image was much stronger in monochrome, but I may play around with the color version at some point as well. Β Glad to hear you like the contrast - I think this is one of my favorite aspects of this one. Β

I think it would be cool with the flowers just being in color and the rest in monochrome.
