“Three Sisters”

Note:
The base image was enhanced by adding an oil sandstone canvas finish to bring out the details and contrast.

These lovely ladies were painted with a Nikon D3, using a Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens.

Image Solution:
focal length @ 55mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / 1/250 sec. - f/16 / exposure comp @ -0.3EV / ISO @ 400 / white balance @ custom profile using an Expo disc for color balance / AF - Mode @ manual / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution – a 24” soft box positioned from the top and two speedlights were placed at 45 degree angles the left and right sides, set to ¼ lumen burst on manual mode with corresponding diffuser screens. / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform - monopod assist and remote electronic trigger release.

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

compostion, subject and light = fantastic!!! there is a black spot on the left frame edge and a yellow spot on the right frame edge that look like weeds. i like the way you masked out the flowers from the texture!!

Hi Doctor you are right, I missed that black dash on the left side, which was part of a double line boarder that I originally did, but decided to take it out, and well...like you said...I missed a spot...:D:cool:

The stems & vase acts as leading lines - original and grabs the eye. Tilt of the image is killer, you have upped your game master!

[Dave Phillips]

nice color.....would be better tilted to the right.
The stems would then be leaning on the bottle opening
