Thank you all for your comments! My biggest problem was my new tabletop tripod. It just wouldn't hold my heavy camera and lens without falling over. Thus I missed the opportunity to take a longer photo and get greater depth of field. I'll use another tripod next time! |

I think this is gorgeous and downright perfect as it is! Love the strong green and also the pink with its different texture. Love the crisp of the green and the wonderfully clear focus. I also love the composition with its slight diagonal and three main green bulbs set off by the 2 leaves and the one pink bulb. |

Dick - where is your PSA folder? |

Thank you! Anyone else with suggestions how to do it? I mainly use LR and am very much a beginner on PS. |

Good idea for a photo! Love the bug and it's color. I agree that the shadows are distracting, and I agree with the idea of cropping to get the bug to be more clearly the focal point. When it's done, however, I then miss the tops of some of the pods. I wonder what it would look like if you rotated it 90 degrees, kept the tops of the two left pods, and cropped out most of the rest so you'd have a long, narrow photo. Just an idea. Can someone tell me how I can pull a photo up into LR so I could try it before making the suggestion? |

Very pretty! I love the discovery of the spider. However, I would have liked the pink flowers to be a bit sharper. I very much like Dick's crop and adjustments, which somehow seem to make the petals sharper, tho he didn't say he did that. |

Gorgeous! Love the fading at the bottom and the just pretty, pretty, prettiness of the roses. Would be as effective in a Fine Arts group as it is in this one. I envy you for your mastery of the technical issues involved. I'm working at it, but progress is slow . . . . |

I have taken photos (and I think posted them) like this one, too. I like yours better. I love the variation in textures, colors, and shapes. I also love the dusting of snow (which doesn't happen here in L.A.). It just adds a nice touch! Nicely crisp photo, too! |

I'm sure we all totally understand. Our entire world is upside down right now. |

I have googled these things and there are lots of possibilities. If you have time, and care to share, could you post some links? I have a bad back, and am still wobbly after my fall last year and all the broken bones. It's much easier for me to work from a table rather than the ground or standing up for a long time. |

The monochrome is interesting, and as a fan of Paris, I'm glad to see it's still there, even tho masked. But the title doesn't add to the photo, as Valerie explained, and I can't really find a subject to focus on -- especially for a "fine art" photo. |

Interesting image and good effort. However I agree with the others. You might have cropped at the edge of the body and just showed the left wing. However, it is not in focus. So as an alternative, you might have cropped off the left wing and just concentrated on the right and whatever flowers you had left (or the flowers by themself) and renamed it. I have never been able to catch a photo of a butterfly. Once I got a fly on a lemon, but that was an accident! |

You are all so totally right about the focus. I was struggling with a table tripod which wouldn't hold the camera in one place (at least I couldn't get it to hold). I'll go back to my larger tripod next time and go for greater depth of field. |

Beautiful bird and foliage! Great job of catching it all. I like Karl's crop, but I'd soften the edges even a little bit more. |

Very interesting and engaging photo! I see the person and his (her?) expression and character as the subject of the photo. But I think the sky and clouds give a placement and a contrast of "peace" versus the "skepticism" in the expression. |

I agree with both comments - glad to learn about a new person and technique. I love the impressionist result, which I have been working on. And the leaves are almost pointillistic! My only suggestion is to wonder if you could have shortened the trunk of the tree or stepped back or something to get the whole tree in the photos? |
