I shot a Daffodil today in my usual style but also had a little fun with it in a little vase. Here it is, framed as I might present it. Hope you like it.

Here's the link to the color version: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1270497/0#12102797

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it.

It is quite possible you have heard me perform. Where in Germany?

All best wishes,

I lived in Germany from the early 80's to early 90's. My folks and I would go to the Frankfurt Symphony once or twice a year. When I looked at your profile here, your name rang a bell so I looked you up and you apparently played with the Frankfurt Symphony...

A wonderful image, Endre.
I hesitate to even mention it because your B&W work is always so good.
Shyness, however, has never been a failing of mine - so here goes:
Perhaps the beauty and brightness of that magnificent table top compete with the subject a bit too much?

Thanks for the great comments, Charlie! Shyness need not be a problem with me, my friend. I think your suggestion was a good one and the replacement edited version is posted above. What do you think now?

All best wishes,

Endre

Endre,
I can't find the original to make a side-by-side comparison.
At the risk of misremembering, the image above seems to have the brightness of the table top (marble?) muted just right.

Well, I assure you it is several points darker and I think it is much better this way. In the end, I wound up completely reprocessing it because the earlier version was one i made out of the simple B & W, which I framed. But I already had one in color that I had done. When I compared the two, I noticed an inordinate amount of banding in the gradient behind the photo so I used the already framed color version and converted that to B & W. They were slightly different in tone but I think I like the richness of this version better, anyhow.

Thanks, again, for the tip.

All best wishes,

Endre
