That might very well be.Photography does have its relation to painting, so there must be much that can be picked up from painting.
Thank you for mentining that transition from light to darkness - I didn't really noticed that up to now. So the brighter part seems to also have its role here, which I really wouldn't expect.
Thanks a lot and take care,
Nick

Yes indeed- no crisis but us having fun;-)
I came to think that maybe it´s the darkness on the left corner that creates a pleasant balance in the photo. It is slowly faded out by the milky colour on the right. Balance on the left as in paintings must also apply for photos I think.
Take care

So this is no photo crisis,
this is we having fun
as films get burned by the sun
- this is true! -
this is no photo crisis
just another trick shot for you ;-)
(With all apologies to the Who! ;-))
But seriously now, I find the original better because of the "air" around the plant. On this one the plant has a bit too little space around it. I start thinking that the whole scene in which the plant plays a big role is as important as the plant itself.
Take care too,
Nick

Hi Nick
For some reason I actually prefer the original version, but had I not seen it, I would have liked this very much. Does it make sense??:-) A good shot that is somehow tricky.
Take care
Annemette

Hi Andre and many thanks for all the ideas in your comment!
Well, the plant does occupy quite a big region on the image, doesn't it? Or could it be that the "seen" occupied region looks smaller than it is because of the very dark colors of the plant *in combination with the dark colors of the background?
Thinking about this...

Hi again Nick,
I forgot to mention, I heard somewhere that it is a good idea to have a good size portion of the subject in focus. That could be one of the unsettlig things about this shot. Not quite enough for the viewer to concentrate on? The one you did of the green plants... "Coming into the open: works well because of that "focus proportion" rule.

Hi Nick,
An interesting discussion between you and Annemette on this shot. I understand what she means. My first thoughts were also to crop away that out of focus plant on the right. But now having seen the results, it doesn't quite work that way either. I think sometimes we just have to face the fact that some images were not meant to be changed.
I do like the rich warm browns in the image against that milky background. Somehow the composition doesn't work for me. Maybe too many stems spread too far apart. This might cause us to lose concentration on the main subject?

So let's crop even more strictly!
Hmm, did that get better? I don't know! For some reason I don't like that if the hazy part is cropped off! :-/ What about you?
Nick

Even more merciless cropping after Annemette's idea ;-) |

Aha well you couldn´t possibly know what I meant as I didn´t explain it to you more specific. I thought about cropping out the hazy part of the flower in the right side including the milky background. I have a feeling that the photo will be better, but I´m not certain:-)
Take care

Thanks a lot for the comment, Annemette! Hmm, so let's crop! The more strict cropping didn't really help. It would be better to make the highlight at the top right darker. But to make it darker it has to be selected very nicely in order to leave the flower under it unchanged. A hard problem and I didn't find any solution yet. Anyway, here isthe crop, just for seeing what I mean.
Thanks again,
Nick

Cropped after Annemette's idea |

Ah yes, this is definately one of your better ones because of the appealing warm darkbrown colours and the light that falls on them. I´m a bit confused, if I´d crop the right part out or not because in a way it disturbs the image slightly, but it also provides DOF. Hmm I think I would do it!:-)
Take care
Annemette
