[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is nothing special, just a sunflower that I had taken out of the vase in our bathroom, and laid beside some seashells collected from the coast.
I love playing with composition in still photography, as well as experiment with light, I hope to be able to learn more about lighting and contrast by doing these experiments.
This was shot under a normal fluorescent light, with another soft fluorescent light near the font of this flower. Shot in B&W at 50ISO colour added during Post processing, sharpened, resized and saved for TL.
Hope you like it.

Lovely composition Mark and lovely post process too. You are really good at setting up still lifes. It's not easy to come up with ideas like this. IF you want to continue with still life, i would recomend you to get a small reflector too, to have more control over the light. I was amazed when i saw the difrence in a shot i made the other day. This is really lovely Mark.

Mark, this is very very beautiful...I am not sure if this sounds like a compliment, but your sunflower is almost as smooth as computer generated.(I mean a compliment :)..it is also because of the unusal tone of yellow you chose I guess..very lovely picture...(is it the sharpening that gives the shell the metallic effect ? it looks beautiful)

congratulations Mark.This one is really beautifull,as always.You know i love your work.
I like the contrast of b&w agains the sunflower.Love the light on the petals.Beautifull work.

Beautiful artistic work, Mark. It's soft, cool, and every element is in the right place. I love the flower and shell textures, and IMO, the framing works particularly well here, with the shells in diagonal, the flower in between, and the blurred fore and background. There is a kind of metallic feeling in this image (I like it). Very good work.

Mark, another ckassic picture from you. Very good composition with flowers on the side an dthe colors are marvelous. Good PP work.

This is lovely, Mark! Beautiful composition, the shell in the background adds a nice depth to your image. I also like your new intro pic, good portait!

For "nothing special", you've made a beautiful composition here. It's interesting to see that you've taken the photo in B&W and added the color during post processing, when usually people take the simple way and make the inverse.

Very artistic composition! Fantastic yellow colour! I love the contrasts between the flower and the grey shells and background.
Impressive post pro work. Perfect framing.
Very, very well done!

No ! It think it's really special (like your other artistic shots...) ! Very good composition and tone associations (color and B&W). Very good job !

How you can say this is nothing special beats me! It is beautiful and elegant, and fantastically composed - I never thought of seashells in B&W! These look like silver ornaments. I love it - well done on this Mark. It has been very well thought out.

Beautiful. I like the idea. Very artistic composition. Well done.

superb compo and image mark! you are getting better and better IMO;-)this one could be in a good photo expo, it is very graphic, very well composed, very well colored and post porcesed.. excellent !!
