G’day Rosalie,
Great still life work here kiddo!
A very interesting subject, arranged and composed very well indeed to add even more interest to this fine photograph’s story.
Great lighting/exposure/processing, good use of depth of field and selective focusing, very nice subtle contrast and pleasing parchment colours.
Great work that girl!

Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Glad this musical offering meets with your approval Dennis! It was almost going onto the virtual cutting room floor along with all the others but I thought I’d just ‘fiddle’ and see what came of it. So the fact that you favourited this is quite special! Thank you!

I often think Rob it would be great to have sound with our pics – especially when shooting scenes where there is birdlife or frogs etc!! In this case, we could have the piano doing its thing! Thanks for the lovely compliments.

hilarydougill
clever one!!! beautifully captured, great imagery, such a lovely clear sharp shot. hugsxxx
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Appreciated Hilary – thank you
Stuart Chapman
Once again it’s the really pinsharp dof that makes this a winner for me. The pinpoint sharp focus just sprays out to readable softness and really adds to the antiquated feel.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Patience was a virtue here Stuart – lots of shots with tiny variations in positioning paid off in the end. Thank you for taking the time to make a considered comment!!
stevendesiow
What a beauty, Rosalie.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied

GailD
You’ve got this work/editing/processing down pat Rosalie. Looks fabulous.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
One of the hardest things is to get an effective arrangement in the first place! This started off with some of the dead roses again etc, but in the end the very simple image worked best. Thank you for adding this to your favourites Gail.

Rosalie, a wonderful image of ‘old world’ charm, perfectly composed, beautiful soft lighting and a certain elegance !!!!

Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Well not ALL of it yet Sarah – we could be here a looooong time!!! Maybe I’ll just bundle it all up for Zoe for Christmas … ! Thanks for the visit!
Bill Fonseca
Works will with your already beautiful collection.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Tried to put a calendar together Bill and I didn’t have 12 of any theme that I was satisfied with – so maybe ‘nostalgia’ will end up being the one! Thanks for the kind words mate.
Kevin Kroeker
Beautiful series… love the texture in this one :o)

Will you dance with me when the sun goes down
We’ll twirl about round and round
Along the veranda and out on the lawn
Catch my dress on the rosebush thorns
And will you hold me least I fall?
I have to look up you are so tall
And will you kiss me ’neath the moon
And hold me still as I swoon
Oh how you danced with me when the sun went down
And the pianolla rolls were new
.
yes I know these are sheet music not pianolla rolls but it gave me the thought
thank you for the focus
Chookas! xXx
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
What a wonderful response … thank you sweet lady … I so much remember pianola rolls (showing my age) and respond very much to your thoughts! Thanks for adding this to your favs.
Jan Stead JEMp...
absolutely brilliant Rosalie!!!!!!
emotive, nostalgic, intriguing, captivating, engrossing and such an awesome shot!!
I’m not in the least bit surprised that you got TWO PHOTOS OF THE DAY with it .
Well done and thoroughly deserved.
The composition and tonal qualities as well as clarity of focus of this macro help to captivate.
Do you mind if I add it to my favourites? Please???..cxxxx

David McMahon
Great shot. As a journalist and novelist, here I am trying to search for any available clue that suggests a printer. I’m guessing it would have been a printing press that ran individual copies ….
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
An interesting perspective on this David! Thank you for your insightful comment, and for adding this to your favs.
