A hint of a rose

A white rose with some slight tinting

It is a creative idea you had Allan, and when I look at the smaller picture it looks perfect. But when I look at the larger one I think the texture is a bit too distinct. Still the photo has a very delicate look I like very much. I also like very much the way the white rose is filling the frame.

The photo must have been quite sharp and I can see that the white balance and exposure is perfect. Perhaps just a bit more contrast ?

The format and tight framing is perfect, and the rose has got a very good placement within the frame. All together I think this is a lovely and well done mixed media.

    Thanks Annie, I always like your constructive comments. When I was doing this piece I had in mind a textured table place mat for the millionaire I never was! lol Thanks again!

Wow Allan , it is such a pleasure to see you branching out with your photography and artwork, and trying different things.
This is gorgeous! It presents as a well executed painting, seriously , it's just lovely! It's very soothing to view.
I can see that the white rose was well photographed with good focus, the image is clear,exposure is correct, I love the softness which I feel really suits the white rose, I like that there is just a hint of it's yellow in deep center. Your use of mixed media has transformed the white rose into a beautiful work of art!
Good for you! I love it!
Well presented!

    Wow, that was a feel good review, thank you so much for that.
    I had in mind a table mat with the texture to hold the plates better.
    I should have maybe saved it for a "high key" contest. I did really enjoy the mixed media work on this piece. Art/photography is so cool now days. Thanks again for this off the chart review!

    Yes, a table mat would be fabulous, very elegant, it would also be beautiful printed as a greeting card face or stationary, although people don?t write letters anymore, I just love the style of it and the way it drew me in .
