Douglas, I've liked very much, there are a collection of delicate
masterworks of composition, and nice tones.

Saludos cordiales,
Luis

Asunto: [Leica] A not really Friday flower selection

The wonderful flower shots this Friday made me think of some stuff I did 
18 months or so ago, working on a commissioned project for a high-end 
audio concern over here in Germany. All rather formal and posed indoors 
on my desk, some with rather a lot of PS work to try and match the ideas 
that the company had great difficulty putting across - either that, or I 
was just too dense to comprehend what  they wanted.

Here are some of the ideas that were left over - some of you may have 
seen some of them before - some of you may not.

Blue Iris - one of this series was selected by Lindemann for their 
website, flyers, brochures etc  see http://www.lindemann-audio.de/en/

The rejects, and the reasons for rejection
Rejected straight away - they decided they wanted flowers

Muscari - the colour was right , the flower wasn't

A Pussy-willow bud - too wiry, or too airy

White Calla Lily - was in the running for a while, but the owner's wife 
wanted blue

A  glass of flowers - this was something the webmaster liked but the 
company didn't

Lisianthus - too pale, too rose-like

Pieris -  too much detail, distracted from the product page, not blue

Lily - too extravagant

Creeping Phlox - almost the right blue, but too simple and boring

Thanks to all of you for showing yours, I hope you like some of these.
Douglas
