| the lighting is stunning and the composition very good - i just wish you would have tried to get this in a 8x10 to really give it a Weston feel |

| Lovely. The cactus looks great in b/w, and the soft shape of the blooms is a great contrast to the spines of the cactus. |

| This is gorgeous. The control of the light is perfect, highlighting the bright flowers just enough to prevent the image from being swallowed by all the black. |

| There's something about this that I like. The low key lighting is great. |

| Awesome lighting, great form. I think this is something Weston would have photographed had he encountered it! Great blacks and shadow, you did well with limiting the highlights. One thing I see that was not indicative of a Weston photo is the use of DoF. You used a shallower DoF than what I have seen in the Weston works that I have viewed. I think he would have shot this at f8, f11, f22, somewhere around there. I do really like this! |
