bottle by shannejw

bottle

a take on a bottle for the mundane challenge and also another shot for the artistic choices and exposures for the B&W bookclub week 4 - http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/21184/bw-book-club-week-4-feb-17-23. This had a fairly central histogram and I've gone for the range of greys rather than the high key / high contrast I wondered about.

Thank you for looking and commenting - you're all superstars.
Beautifully composed and lit Shanne. has to be a B+W fav for me.

lovely shadow and good minimalism.

I agree with Sean…and your choice of how you used the background and the shadow makes it even more interesting!

Very nice artistic shot looks like a difficult shot to compose and get the shadow of the flower andthe glass so clear.

Great lighting and composition

@esox this wasn't that difficult - but I have done stuff like this (not this one) on Flickr, so I knew how to make this work

pretty :)

Love the crispness of the bottle and looks like the shadow is of a different thing!

Good choice to stay with the mid-range greys Shanne - the resulting image has a restful, peaceful feel about it.

The shadow is amazing on this. I am obsessed with bottles. I don't collect many but I have a few. Maybe I will try this challenge. And I need to read how to read and use info from a histogram. I have no clue right now...I know what it IS, but that is it.

Excellent month in b&w! I like this shadow casting capture!
I looked through your album for this year and besides the selfie in early Jan, I didn't see any. So your push is to participate in this coming week's 5+2 selfie theme which will be "transformation". However, your selfie must have a piece or an element in black and white (if you do this in Feb it can all be b&w for your month, but after the 28th only an element can be in b&w)!! Good luck and I'm looking forward to your post!

Very nice Shanne, love the shadow and simplicity!
February 24th, 2014  
Wonderful composition
February 24th, 2014  
I love the way this is outlined. The shadow is great, the single flower, the negative space. Well done!
February 24th, 2014  
Great composition, love this
February 24th, 2014  
Great picture. FAV!
February 24th, 2014  
Wonderful composition. I like how you have chosen to show the back of the flower rather than the petals!
February 24th, 2014  
Apart from the simplicity, which I really like, I love the emotive feeling you have captured. It is almost as if the flower is talking to its shadow. Great shot.
February 24th, 2014  
Lovely composition
February 24th, 2014  
Simply beautiful. Love how you composed this.
February 24th, 2014  
This shot has an almost film like atmosphere to it (I can't put my finger on why). I really like it.

Beautiful shot.
February 25th, 2014  
Simply beautiful. I struggle with simplicity and always tend to put too much in an image..... I need to learn from you! Fav.
February 25th, 2014  
Lovely composition, Fav.
February 25th, 2014  
I'm normally a huge high contrast fan but I like the subtle shades of greys here. Fav
February 25th, 2014  
Nice one

February 26th, 2014  
I think your choice of processing really works well. The shadow makes the shot though.
