Rose and Driftwood
45/52 Recreate a famous photograph – one that you greatly admire.
In 1932 Ansel Adams took his rose on driftwood photograph after his Mother gave him a rose from her garden. A problem was posed by the lack of a suitable background and Adams tried all manner of objects without success. Eventually he remembered this piece of wave-worn ply driftwood that he had picked up at a nearby beach. He took 6 different exposed images @ f45 for his. My rose is resting on my chunky slab of driftwood brought back from Iceland years ago and is 6 blended images.
Adams image is usually seen with selenium toning, this was the result of a much later reprocessing. It can be seen here:

However when I tried this my rose looked ike a cabbage :) so I did it my way!
