The title , “Red, Black and White”, should really be “Heart of a Cowboy”. It grew out of a ‘Honey do’ – my wife was re arranging the living room. As I moved this, that, the other, I noticed a white cowboy hat on top of a book case. Just under the hat was an electric rose. I thought, Hmm, interesting. I put the hat on the same shelf as the flower but, it didn’t work. So, I tried elevating the hat. That worked. I previewed the image in color and black and white. Black and white won out and it became part of my black and white portfolio.
Then one day, my wife was looking at it and said ” that would look better with a colored rose.” Well, I cleared the shelf, lit the rose, set up lighting to duplicate the original lighting and shot the rose. Next came Photoshop, several hours of manipulation and the title. I hope you like the result. To order a print go to: http://www.propicts4u.com
