Simply a lovely portrait image composed to the side with plenty of black to give it a Rembrandt feel of chiaroscuro. The image is pin sharp, emotion has been caught because of your timing. It is really a joy to review this photograph. Top marks.

The predominantly large blackness of this shot really makes the focal point(s) jump out at us in clariy. I also think your compoistion is very good to the side like that. This image engages the viewer instantly with hot heat and cold death scene.

This was my parents wedding song so yellow roses always have a special place for me. Shifted the histogram to the dark side for the contest. Spot sharpened a bit. (5 years and 704 days ago)

Rose, yellow, texas

Thank you so much for saying that...I do wish more members would explain the process then peons (like me) would be able to learn from you. This image is sharp and crisp on the center and softens nicely into a black background, that darkness makes the rose pop out well. Good for you with the exposure because you have no bleeding at all and yellow is one of the hardest colours to photograph.

A total solar eclipse showing Baily's Beads around the edge of the moon's surface. The Baily's beads effect is a feature of total solar eclipses. As the moon "grazes" by the Sun during a solar eclipse, the rugged lunar limb topography allows beads of sunlight to shine through in some places, and not in others. The name is in honor of Francis Baily who first provided an exact explanation of the phenomenon in 1836. (5 years and 704 days ago)
