Poppy White by phil_sandford

Poppy White

I have to admit, I wonder if this is just too white, too hi-key (and I know Carole thinks along those lines also). I think for the rest of the month I'll avoid white flowers.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday's offering; appreciated as always
White on white is tricky. In high key it’s so hard to get definition of the white flower edges. This is lovely, nonetheless.

@louannwarren I agree, white on white isn't easy. I had to rollback the settings on the camera, hence the background in the bottom left is slightly grey, or the poppy would have been all but invisible. I suppose I could have used LR to adjust areas, but am trying to do this month with just the camera settings and minimal adjustment post exposure.

I agreee that you have lost a little definition in the flower and white on white is always difficult. I have found high-key is sometimes more successful in b&w - paradoxically!

@quietpurplehaze Have just played with this photo in LR and turned it to B&W. Further manipulation brings out the flower a tad …… all good learning for me.

Definite loss of definition , but as you say a learning curve. Lovely shot though.

More power to you Phil to try different techniques .

I saw the B&W edit 1st and you definitely got more detail there… this is still nice.

I had trouble with white on white when I shot the chess set. Did you try that flower on black?

I like the green on the white background.

I think its too white to be on white however I really like the green on the white and the detail on the stem is amazing
