White rose
-
I wanted to take a picture of a white flower against a white background and this is the result. This is taken in natural light and then desaturated.
f20, 4s, ISO-100
Looks nice.
I would have expected the white background to be less grey, is that a product of the desaturation?? That could make the flower stand out more?? Maye it needs white reflectors to increase the light intensity on the background??
Sorry can’t be more helpful, macro not my thing.
Hope this helps

I think that was caused by some shadows falling on the background and getting the light brighter there would have made it cleaner. I wasn’t trying to make the rose stand out, more trying to get it to blend with the background. I have another picture of the same rose with a black backround.
Nice idea. It has a lovely abstract feel and I reckon there would
be textures to enjoy at a larger scale. I wonder if it would be better
with a tiny bit more space around it?PeteTheBloke wrote:

There’s a tiny bit of black dead centre, I wonder if it would improve things to blend it in a bit? And there’s a faint dark outline round some petals, particularly the lower ones.
I like the idea of the rose almost fading away.
