Baby, Please Don't Go! * Traveller

Santa Monica Blvd Hamburger Joint Flower Bed, 2:20am

Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go, down to New Orleans
You know I love you so

Turn your lamp down low
I beg you all night long, baby, please don't go

You brought me way down here
'bout to Rolling Forks, you treat me like a dog

Baby, please don't go, back the New Orleans
I beg you all night long

Before I be your dog
I get you way'd out here, and let you walk alone

You know your man down gone
To the country farm, with all the shackles on

Entirely live...really. There is some sharpening, a bare touch of digital velvia, and that's about it. Because of the fine entries by Julile Bird and Jim Thode, I thought I'd try it...as noted under the image...2:20am, flower bed of a hamburger stand...and that's why I'm particularly proud of this. Seven tries, manual focus, on the timer...and I did it.
Yes, the idea was first Julie's and then Jim's, but the execution was mine.

Thanks for asking.

And thanks to Jim and Julie for their fine pictures...that gave me the idea that maybe I could do something like this. It isn't that any of these low flower shots are better...they are different interpretations of a theme...and I'm happy to be in Julie's and Jim's company.

Best Wishes,

Traveller

Really nice, especially if the black background is the way you found it. Is it live, or is it Photoshop? -bee1000

Thanks, Sharon, Nugar and Nico...but this really is pretty good work by me...sometimes I'm off...but this, this is nice.

Thanks for noticing.

Best Wishes, Traveller

Traveller, I like this a lot! The stark lighting against the black, the separation of the flowers, and that hint of red really works for me. Very sophisticated! ~Sharon
