Photos of flowers can be really powerful, but they're so difficult to pull off without being cliché. I think this one is really strong. Tonally, it's beautiful. The angle is unexpected. I think you used a perfect amount of DoF and the bokeh is very subdued so that it doesn't overpower the image. Great work. The only thing I'm curious about is why you used a higher speed film on a still life... but then I always default to the lowest ISO I can get my hands on when I'm on tripod.

Thank you.

In 4x5 I only shoot TMY, which I rate at ISO 200. When it was affordable and readily available I shot it in 5x7 too, but now I shoot HP5+ instead in that format and rate it at 200 as well.

As I recall, the exposure was around 30 seconds. With a slower film it would have been even longer.

Getting familiar with tilts to control the image and very happy with this. Missed blurring the edge of the table completely just slightly. Large format is so much fun!
