p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · #118 Bronze Angel and White Camellia

I have this beautiful antique bronze statue and thought it looked nice holding this sort of old-fashioned camellia flower. I hope you like it.

Later addendum: I posted a B & W version at the B & W forum and a color version at the Nature Forum. Based on the feedback I got over there, I think I will switch this out for the B & W version, which probably looks more "antique" anyhow.

Endre,
The statue as you have photographed it is beautiful and by adding the flower you have turned a beautiful statue into a winner! The flower adds so much by catching light and adding a soft shadow that gives your photograph great depth.
Best of luck,
Tom

Thanks so much, Tom! It's so great to hear from you. It's been a long time! I hope all is well with you.

I'm delighted that you like it! I keep going back and forth between this B & W version and the color version. If you have a moment, could you take a look at the color version and let me know which you prefer? https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1273147 That would be most helpful.

All best wishes,

Endre

Hi Endre,
Yes it has been a very long time and it is good to be back. I viewed both the color and the B&W version and I think the B&W has something that rings true to the assignment better. That is just my opinion and I feel you have two great images, I just like the B&W best.
Best of luck,
Tom

Hi Endre, I like this bronze, and your stretching the dynamic range with the flower. Hope you and yours are well.

Thanks, Jim, my friend! I'm so glad you like it!

I'm fine now, after having nearly died a few weeks ago. None the worse for wear, though.

It's been a long time since we've posted to one another. I hope all is well at your end, too.

Fond regards,

Endre

I like that background too. Certainly adds to the 'antiqueness'
