[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We always have a smaller studio in our home, in between things there is time for some of my favourite photography, playing with lights...
Went to the 'end of the market' for a cheap deal on flowers (my props), 6 bunches for £ 2, chose from whatever is left. I was fortunate, blue Irises, blue Hyacinths, pink Tulips, Tiger Lilies, what a delight, they perfume our whole house!
One of the many different compositions and combinations I tried.
Hyacinth comes from the Greek Hyakinthos, a young man,in Greek mythology, loved by the sun god Apollo.
Imported into Western Europe in the 16th century,the first country to culivate them was Austria in the 1500's.
In the next centuries, equal to the tulip, it was only very wealthy flower collectors who could afford them. The hyacinth has a distinctive fragrance. Therefore much favoured in the French perfume industry.
Their heady scent, delicacy and inimitable spring feeling make them very desirable.
Have a fun day, thanx, M, (*_*)

hi Magda Indigo

very good composition, good lighting, good colours and deatils. good black bg, i like the light at the fg fading to black in the bg.

regards c.d.

As always the lighting, and by definition the colours, is excellent. The photo looks more like a painting than a photo, with a classical feel to the blue of the flowers.
Thanks for sharing

Wonderful light and composition, right down to the curled leaves. The stair-step heights are so family-like, and the rich colors against the black background make this image "sing":) So you, and so well done. Love it!

Hello Magda,
Outstanding capture.
Beautiful Colours.
Excelent
TFS
Friendly Greetings

Magda,
Great notes on the hyacinth.
Did you compose them or did you take them from a website?
I suppose the author would enjoy the same credit as you are getting.
Of course, admitting that you just took them from a website, unprofessionally, well that would be unprofessional.
I think the photo is top-notch and beautiful, the plagiarism is bottom- notch.
You'd take the time to "pump" your website here but not plug the website that you got the cute story of Apollo Gods and exorbitantly expensive bulbs.

I missed you Magda...about This [] much....

Scott

Hi Magda
Superb capture.Amazing composition,colours and details.Well done.
Thanks
Friendly greetings

hello Magda,
I love the scent of the hyacinths, and how that scent can fill up a room.
These are such a rich blue, especially against the black BG.
A piece of art here with wonderful lighting.
Magical.
Joni

Hello dear Magda, thx for the crit on "Old Rusted Boat" I'm happy that you like it.

I love the light on your flowers, it is always so well lit and the direction perfect. It makes the colour vibrate in a special way.
Great black bg and very sharp image.

Also I like the diagonal composition.

Cheers! And nice to see you. But the bullying going on this site is disgusting.

Hello Magda,

at first sight it looked like some painting or drawing from a very good painter or drawer... but no : a fantastic photo. The vivid colors and black background are making this shot a beauty !
And please don't let spoil your joy in photography by one bully comment (that man does it all the time to other members).

regards,

Luc.
