love the ethereal feeling. just enough in focus and pinks add to the delicate feeling. your original with the 4 corners showing the green does not bother me either - just a different presentation, different feel [yes, less ethereal]. there is much more is in focus in the original so most of the ethereal feeling comes from filters/photoshop. the postal/stamens get to be the star of the show then the eye drifts off to the cloudy ethereal feeling. well done. |

I like the original non macro photo of the subject - seeing the full fan image is pretty. second the cute orange critter is interesting in itself but needs a different background. I am not fond of the white 'holes' that overtake the photo. plucking the little guy off and either using the base of that fan or just put him on another background could make him the star [and yes I decided it was a 'HIM']. the sea fan itself shouts out to me FUN WITH DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS/ COLORS!!! |

I will be jumping on the bandwagon here - very nice subject of the plants/greenery themselves - beautiful restful green and the star like features of that one variety 'pops' [thus that is where my eye goes]. to me it looked like it could mimic say a 50mm/normal lens. so let me ask this question: I know you said you used the macro lens but did you have it on !:! [which I don't think???] or pulled farther out? I think that is what makes the difference. as I mentioned before I am newer to macro [so I don't stack yet] and I am interested in MACRO COMPOSTION as close to 1:1 as I can get. thus in my final photo I am expecting to see focus area with unfocused area and the beauty of macro is finding photos that can incorporate both and be pleasing to the eye. so the second thing I was looking for in your photo was the unfocused area in an unstacked photo. the vertical and horizontal parts away from twig look focused to me and it seems like a wide field. |

I thoroughly love the frost on the redand up stem - no other critique there! that only leave the background - which I am fine with a dark background but if I play devil's advocate it leave me wondering what it would look like lightens up since it looks like a green bkgd might come up so red/green would work also. agree de-focus on the other apples is appropriate and bring up light might draw them in too much. branch crop in/out another one - final opinion would be after I looked at all versions - and I could like all version because it is the frost that is great! all looks sharp!!
