Thanks. I was inspired by another photographer. No copying, but a similar sense. Always nice to have an inspiration.

Ravissante et bien gorgée de lumière.
Bonne journée.

thank you. i thought the dark background made the light stand out more. glad it works for you.

reminds me of cover of the Depeche Mode's Violator album

I have never seen the album cover before. You are so right about the connection.

But it is really cool that you would mention Depeche Mode right now. My husband wrote the lyrics of an album (The Accidental Falls) with Eyelids, a band from Portland, Oregon with John Moen from the Decemberists in it. When they did the album release concert last March 2020 (just before everything went down), they also played a cover of Depeche Mode's 'Enjoy the Silence'. The audience video of it got around and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame commisioned Eyelids to do a studio version for Depeche Modes' induction into the Hall of Fame!! And the studio version is being released tomorrow, Friday, May 7th, on Bandcamp! musicofeyelids.com

Okay, enough personal promotion. Thanks for you comment!

Enjoy the Silence is basically the title song of the Violator album and the singles of this song have been graphicised by variants of the rose flower photo. So definitely there's a connection and I wish you a lovely time. Enjoy not only the silence, enjoy the music, enjoy the day, enjoy the life.

Wow! So beautiful and so different.

Thank you. I'm so glad you like it.

I was inspired by another photographers work. Not a copy at all, but the idea of being sure the flowers were backed by dark. The rest is pure raingirl style.

Nice work my friend.
Have a great Wednesday, take care ;-)

Thank you kindly. Glad you enjoyed it.

Great effect, Laura !

Thanks so much. I was inspired by another photographer's work to look for a dark background.

A very unusual and lovely image the light appears to come from within the flowers, did you scan or photograph the polaroid ?

Oh I scanned it. Maybe I should try photographing the polaroid. I hadn't thought of that. I'd love people to be able to see the true colors, or at least closer than this.

Very pretty indeed

Thank you. Glad you like it.

Hi Laura
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different composition
Fantastic colours too
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

You are really kind. I'm so glad you like it. I like loose compositions. They are hard for me to do successfully, but it is where my heart lies. I like regular flower photos, very eye appealing, but for my art I prefer this type thing.
peace.

Wonderful lighting.

Thanks! I was inspired by a photographer who had total black behind a mass of bright plants. This isn't a copy in any way, but that inspired me to shift my position to get the dark background happening.

c'est pas mal quand-même ! j'aime bien !********************merci !
Belle semaine à vous ! Amitiés♫

So glad you like it. Merci!

Un effet de flou artistique !
Comme le dit john, great effect and i ad "full of light"

Merci beaucoup. J'aime la photo avec personnage.

a good idea

Calibrating the scanner?

Thanks for the idea. But I scan regular prints with my Epson scanner just fine. It's the reflective nature of the border and the polaroid itself that throws things off.

Très belle composition. Nicole.

merci beaucoup.

Interesting treatment. Haven't seen or used a polaroid for years but I understand they're back.

oh yes, they are. it's been a process. i've been supporting the remaking of polaroid film for years. the 'impossilbe project' bought the last factory with the machines that produce the packs of film right before it was going to be all taken apart (in the Netherlands). after years of very experimental film they got good enough to approach polaroid and unite with them. i actually miss the more experimental film, but still enjoy the not exactly perfect film they have now.

i didn't use polaroid very much in its heyday. i'm much more into it now - kind of an easy 'film' based photography.

...so much fun to see your result...

thanks. i have a few more that i'm working on taking photo of instead of scanning. becoming kind of metta.

Das hast du sehr schön umgesetzt liebe Laura,mir gefällt auch diese Umrandung des Fotos:))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni:))
