White Widow

I hope I had more time. I am simply overwelmed by the good work I see posted in here. This one is for you. I am sure some will find that I could have played more with depth of field. I tried but came back with this one has my favorite.

Please have fun, all comments are welcomed.

P.S. Setting up a mini Macro Studio helped enormously. It was surprising how this could be done on the cheap side...

This is a Snow Queen Clematis, bought for a few dollars at Costco while waiting for spring. It was ready to bloom.

Very pretty. It does look like a spider. I love the white on white!

Very nice shot...different and quite spidery indeed.

Great composition! Never seen this flower before, very nice. I think it could have been more sharp towards the middle of the flower and have the entire photo a bit brighter, (might just be my screen) but looks a little dull. Great job over all though.

Ugh, spider! Just....ewwwww! That's really creepy, dude! But great comp nonetheless *thumbs up*

I still have to understand the various techniques to improves sharpness in photoshop or Lightroom.

BTW this is a Clematis Snow Queen that I am growing in house while outside temperature rise in Montreal. It shall be impressive covering an entire wall.

This image needs a contrast boost and it looks like it has a bluish cast. Nice shot aside from that!

Quite true. Starting now I am using a white card before and after shooting sessions. Doing so and under artificial lighting I did observe a difference lightiing temperature. Just like the bulbs, aquire their final color cast only after a certain period of time.

Thanks for pointing it out.

white subject on a white background usually is hard to handle the exposure. you did a great job.
