Keith, great flower and positioning of the magnification. I like the asymmetry of the magnified petals. I do feel it is a little bright for me.... I like the deeper red of the original. and maybe if the yellow was not as bright. but I love the cropping and the way the "postal/stamens" [not sure of my plant parts] stand out. original red [unmagnified] has beautiful furrows in the red petals and bringing them out more in the magnified one would be great... less highlights more shadows? |

Tom, I see the photo as something I would use for a background - something that gives texture but is diffuse - so it works for that for me [I am collecting a few things like this myself]. I find it hard to find if anything is in focus in the cloth but does it need to be? this works for a background for me whether it is more or less in focus. This looks like a shot overhead of the cloth? what I would want to see is cloth at couple angles to see how the patterns/swirls look. |

Carol, is that white sand in your backyard? I am seeing the "focus stripe" from the one eye down the length side of the main body... seems like enough focus out of a macro lens. if the highlights where decreased I wonder if more of the frog's back is in focus [just having a hard time telling if it is]. a bit too much which around the frog for me. after chasing some birds and bees in the parks I appreciate how hard it is to get any living things with a macro lens and get focus. |

Fran, Lovely!!! so I see the main body/round segment looking in focus and 2 leg segments above body and handful of petals in focus... this seems to be enough for macro. the wings and lower legs look like you captured movement - so all that seems great. the petals obviously are suppose to loose focus as they go to edge of frame.... but give a soft touch to the photo. brown in the insect repeats almost in the brown with the petals...maybe that is wilting petals but colors match. then I love the background is all green & diffuse - so it works for me. is the background in nature or staged indoors?

that trio is nice to see. green is pretty also. color inversion means you flip white tips for colors then background became more white. the stacking dramatically changes everything... since I am not there yet with stacking the initial photo is interesting to me as a macro... just a few spikes in focus but that is what you get with macro... still adjusting my eye to that. Nice job Stuart. |

It is striking! all the spikes seem to be focused. it almost looks like a drawing/painting - is that the effect? since it is striking to me I say the color inversion is good - do you have a photo before color inversion? also do you have the original before stacking? |
