[Dahlia Ambrose]

So pretty Diane 🙂

[Wendy P]

The hi-key treatment makes the flower look extra delicate. Nice job!

[Pat Garrett]

So very delicate!

[Stefanie Markham]

I am not sure if this fits the bill 100%.  I do like that there is a hint of background left though.

[Robert Apple]

Its close Stefanie, a little Targeted exposure and lighting adjustments brings it full bore, I did a very quick edit on the tablet and got this, It’s a great photo work with and I’m sure you could do a bit more quality rendition with the original.

[Stefanie Markham]

Thanks Robert!  I appreciate your feedback and help.

@tersha

Such a great shot!

[Tersha]

Thanks RG.

During a Photography class I was taking at college back in 2013, we had to do a macro shot. The teacher had their Nikon setup for the class to use. So, I asked my daughter to come to class with me and I wanted to take a shot of her eye. I high-keyed all around the eye so the color splash was more bold.

[Robert Apple]

Makes me feel like I’m being Watched RG, It’s quite a funky photo, like something that might show up on an album cover in the days of old.

[Retired Grunt]

Hooah. In the right light, you can see mainly green, but brown and blue are also in each of her eyes. My grandson has it also, now that his eyes have begun to fully show their real color. He’s 8 months old now.

[Tersha]

Thats a very cool photo RG, great Hi-Key.

@retiredgrunt

[Wendy P]

Fabulous photo. Very stark and effective.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Beautiful pop of colour RG 🙂

[Pat Garrett]

I concur – what also struck me was the reflection of her eyelashes in the eye.

Pat, this is stunning! I love everything about it.

@patography

[Pat Garrett]

Thank you, Diane. It was an experiment that worked…

[Anita Lawrenz]

I’m not sure if this hits the Hi-Key mark, took this today. I think it would have been better with a shallower depth of field.  Let me know what could improve it.

[Tersha]

Hi Anita, it’s close enough to hi-key to be here. I think the dof is just right, and the grasses are sharp, so I like it.

[Pat Garrett]

“Down by the Old Mill Stream”

[Tersha]

Great hi-key scene Pat!

[Pat Garrett]

Thank you. I think it was you and one of the challenges years ago when I first joined that got me into hi key.  Some were accidents due to improper exposure, but then I began to really like it! @tersha

[Tersha]

[Anne Hornsby]

Intriguing composition, Diane!  I love how the wallpaper shapes mirror the “body” of the guitar, and how the bridge hangs below the body.  High key makes it really cool.
