Description
Walking past the castle-turned-hotel at the edge of the Rosarium in Baden bei Wien, I found white roses laid upon a table being set for an afternoon wedding. This is a very romantic place, where stone steps lead to a green lawn and a gently sloped, grass covered hill at the edge of the rose garden.
The staff of the Hotel Schloss Weikersdorf was bustling about, but kindly allowed me to take photos of the table.
Had this been a true photoshoot, the linens would have been pressed to perfection and laid perfectly across to form a straight line. Since this was not the case, I decided to manipulated the photo digitally to make the wrinkles seem a natural part of the photo.
I wanted to give the entire photo an antique look, so I increased the yellow and black values, applied textures and added a bit of a blur for a dreamy quality. At the end, I added a subtle vignette to highlight the flowers in the composition.
This photo has been digitally manipulated.
