Description
ok, sorry, another rose! This will be the last one, I promise! Color and contrast edited with psp 8. The regular color version is nice too, but I liked the mood the darker colors provided. However, I experimented with this on my laptop and sometimes the colors look different on it than a regular computer, so let me know if it's to your liking.Related content

This is a really great shot, one of my favorites of yours. I really like the lighting and the sepia tone. The focus makes it looks as if the strings were plucked, which is a nice effect...or I guess maybe you plucked them haha

thanks for your comment! lol i actually didn't pluck the strings at least not on purpose. I mean obviously I made them move somehow but not intentionally

Lovely concept, made me smile. The tones are great for the created atmosphere. I'm not sure about the composition though. I think it would better if the angle was opened up more to show further down the guitar, and I think having the rose on a different angle to reveal more of the stem would have been good.

great take, i think the colors are great to... the focus on the lower part of the bass strings kinda puts me off, it draws too much atention.......but wonderful nevertheless

Very well done. Nice focus on the rose. The blur also adds much softness to the picture. Nice unity with the colors and contrast too. Its also very expressive and meaningful. Great work.

It looks like something you'd find on a CD cover. (You know, a rose on a guitar...?) (It is a guitar right?) (I guess) (Yeah.)
Good idea... It looks good without color. I like the way the strings look like they're vibrating. Good job!

very nice composition. it's a combination of 2 great subjects for a macro piece. keep up all the good work as you close in on your 1000th pageview!
p.s. thanks for the comment on Kings Chamber. i hope you got a chance to look through my whole gallery!

I love the compostion. simplicity. I usually comment on anything I see with a guitar in it. guitars are so photogenic, in my opinion. Of course it wouldn't be the same picture without the rose. Great shot. Tip top.

it's a very nice shot! I really like the composition in here, and the sepia tone you added make the photo so warm and homey. great concept, well executed! I just find the cuting of the edge of the flower bothering...some more space at the top would be nice, but that's a thing photoshop can't fix so I leave it...good job!

I like the colours because they have more of a brownish ting rather than grey, they make the piccy warm. Iv just finished a series quite similar, gonna get them on soon so il keep you posted

what attracted me to it: the acoustic guitar and the whole calm, serene feeling... I really like the effects you added to the photo, if any?? anyway, you asked for me to comment and apparently other people have better things to say so I leave more room for them... great piece

thank you so much! and hey, I always appreciate comments no matter what people have to say (unless it's completely rude) even if it's repeated, so thank you! I added a few effects but not many. All I did was give it that black and white/sepia tone and then softened it a bit. Thanks for your comment!

you should make this a print. with the color and the lookof the rose
youll probabbly get rich
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow, do you really think this would be good enough to make a print? would people actually buy it? Well for one, I have no clue how to even go about doing it, and two I think you have to be a subscriber and I can't afford that right now, even though it's not incredibly expensive, I have tuition and books to pay for! But thank you for your comment, I'm very flattered that you think this should be a print!

the rose looks really really gorgeous with the guitar, the two compliment each other, and the dark sepia tone to it makes it much more powerful and romantic than a black and white would. great job on this
