Simple yet complex. Your composition is excellent. Colors are subtle, brilliant and compliment each other well. You found appeal where others may overlook. |

Colors, patterns, focus make this a good photograph. It does look a little staged, wonder what would happen if you just tossed the vegetables and let them land where they may. That may change the depth of field although it looks like that would not be a problem in this capture. Also try different angles. You never know what may happen. It's better to take 100 shots than to have to reshoot. |

I really like this shot with the subject in action. My only critique is the top front of the flower is a touch out of focus. This must have been the closest part when the shot was taken. The front petals are in focus so the top should also be in focus too I would think. The border of the depth of field must have been right at the edge of the flower. It's hard getting everything right in action shots. My suggestion when snapping action closeups is to shoot continuous and make micro adjustments by moving slightly away from the subject. The butterfly alone makes it great for me. |

A good shot with textures and patterns in the back part of the flower. The front seems a little out of focus. Maybe a half step backward would bring all the subject into focus. Another way would be to focus bracket and stack. I believe the front is more important than the rear although it's really up to the artist. This shot really captures ones attention. |

This picture shows more than what meets the eye. The symbiotic relations between fungi and plants are amazing. Someone said the largest living organism is a fungi in Oregon. Your subject reminds me of truffles.
The composition is excellent and background compliments the highlighted subject. So many patterns and textures at the prime maturity of the subject. Timing is everything. The lighting is just right casting no shadows or distractions. This is a true closeup. |

It's always great to talk to Railfans. I'm in Montrose, CO right now visiting my parents. I can think of three narrow gauge rails near here, Silverton, Galloping Goose in Telluride and the narrow gage that ran through Black Canyon, Cimmaron. Only the Silverton is still running. My grandfather used to hop the trains near the Ophir Loop. So many railroads in CO. What part of CO were you at? What was your favorite RR? |

Thank you for your interest in this shot. There's so many subjects in this shot and the title draws attention to the tunnel. My goal was to show the closeup of the rail to show exactly where the wheel of a train meets the track. One side has almost a mirror reflection while the other is rusted.
The other side of the tunnel is very interesting. Lots of railroad subjects for closeups. Railroad security does not allow visitors there.
Your edit has given me a few ideas for future pics. I'm going to try converting to B&W also. Railroad pics always look good in B&W. Thanks for your comment. |

A very good capture of the bee in perfect position. Amazing patterns and complimenting colors.. I like the original. Strange how the top left corner and the bee are in focus yet the bottom right is not. It doesn't look like a shot taken above the flower.
Three suggestions on focus, 1) Don't use macro and take a step backward, even six inches will make a difference, use a tripod and focus bracketing/stacking and try extension tube if available for your camera. One more, use manual focus with tripod.
I tried to improve the focus in my editing software, not much improvement. Rotating did have a different perspective. |
