I'm really into goth rock and new wave. My favorite band is The Birthday Massacre. The guy in my avatar is, in fact, a guy. His name is Mana from the band Malice Mizer.
Gorgeous shot, beautiful colors, contrasts and composition. Perhaps just a touch too bright for my taste in the highlights, but that's just personal opinion, not really a criticism. You could easily make a case why the highlights are that way to contrast with the deeper pinks.
Thank you all :-) The highlights looked OK on my monitor, but having looked on a different one I tend to agree with Accipiter and Klas. Time to adjust my monitor......
This one caught my eye. It is brilliant. The composition of the stem across the frame diagnally, the contrast, not to mention the poem. I like this one very much. Yes, very much indeed.
"Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: 'Mankind'. Basically, it's made up of two separate words - 'mank' and 'ind'. What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind."
-Jack Handy
Very Intresting Image! I like who the background is totally dark, yet you managed to keep the entirity of the light on the image also getting contrast on the bottom of the blooms in the image. Great Job :-)
