79 Apr 22 Comment Hi Lynne, Your photography is technically excellent. The image is nicely lit, very sharp, and subtly colored. I can see the image as-is, or flipped vertically, or rotated 90 degrees right and flipped horizontally. They would all work OK. I think the situation here is one of the photographer's mental closeness to the subject compared to the viewer's detachment. The image has a soft, gentle 'feel' to me. It doesn't evoke "Wow!" or have significant impact as many other flowers do (e.g. Himalayan Blue Poppy). The image would make beautiful wall art that decorates a room but does not garner attention. Your technique is excellent. I disagree with the ISO 100 maxim. Today's sensors and AI Noise software allow excellent images from much higher ISO's when needed. Karl Apr 9th
79 Apr 22 Comment Hi Freddie, I immediately wanted to rotate the image 90 degrees, and again and again. I found each rotation to be interesting and producing a different vibe/feeling. The image is reminiscent of smoke but not quite the same. Certainly it feels like a smooth dance flow. The soft colors emphasize the smoothness. It grows on the viewer's imagination. Karl Apr 6th
79 Apr 22 Comment Hi Peter, Beautiful colors and a good job with the selection and compositing. An alternative might be to slightly blur the clouds to give a more dramatic feeling of depth. The flash catchlight in the tern's eye and detail in the feathers is spot on. Karl Apr 6th
79 Apr 22 Comment Hi Judith, Superimposing images lends complexity to the photo. This allows the viewer to roam the photo and see various interesting features like the flower at top, texture in the middle, and curved frond at left. It's an image that prompts pause to study. The mirrorless camera does many interesting tricks. When you can see in the viewfinder the exposures already made, you can place the next exposure in a desired relationship. What fun! Karl Apr 6th
79 Apr 22 Comment Hi Judith, The model was an excellent muse, quite expressive. The "life-giving veins/tubes" are really just that. They are tree roots. The model posed in an earthen mudslide area which exposed the tree roots above. Karl Apr 6th
