Thanks Eric! I often do as you suggested. With this flower though I liked the way the petals arched and flowed. Great idea though. I appreciate the feedback. |

Thanks Emily! I tend to crop in closely in camera. I think what you're saying is to not crop in so close while taking the picture, giving me the ability to leave more background around the image. I'll try it. That would also give me more room to add a slight vignette. |

Thanks Bev! To be honest, I didn't even notice the red flower in the background. Maybe it's because I like red! Thanks for taking the time to clone it out. Looks good. And thanks for the feedback. |

Thanks Dean! I typically do add a vignette, but I guess I thought it wasn't necessary this time. I'll go back and put one in to see the difference. I appreciate the feedback. |

Cute dog portrait. Yes, those eyes do tell what he's thinking. Well shot. My dog is black and very difficult to photograph. I didn't notice the blown out spot until I read Damon's review. I would suggest a different crop. One that shows more of his head. I'm wondering whether you were restricted because it was taken with a phone. Good image though. |

Beautiful image Dean. I love the color, softness and composition. Whether the placement of the small rocks was deliberate or natural, it sure works. I have no suggestions. |

Thanks Damon. I'm still a bit shy when it comes to critiquing another photographer's image. As the saying goes, "I don't know much about art, but I do know what I like!" I've learned a lot from my local Sierra Camera Club and hope to learn more here. |

Damon, here's where my lack of proper photography skills show. I meant to make the entire image more bright, but not much. I do this in LR by using the tone curve. I just bring it up slightly and the image gets brighter. |

I love this picture! I like that you took it with a person in it for perspective and to show how relaxing one can be in a scene like this.
You do more with your Fuji than I do with mine since I've never used in-camera processing. I'll have to check the menu system to find your +1 sharp, etc. I can see that I can learn a lot here.
I have only two suggestions and they are merely my preferences. I like landscapes in a horizontal format unless the subject is a tall tree, building etc. I also would have brightened the tonal quality just a bit.
Again, great image. Beautiful and relaxing. |

Thanks Damon. I appreciate your critique. I just enjoy getting up close to flowers, having them fill the frame which usually puts them in the center. Most times I will crop that just 2/3 of the flower is in the frame and then I move it to one side or the other, using 2/3 of the frame. On this one, I just didn't want to mess up the tulip's flowing lines.
Regarding the video, I thought it was interesting, but I truly don't understand mathematical ratios. This puts me at a disadvantage! I just compose the shot the way I like it.
Now for the lens. I don't have a problem with it. I was just out shooting roses on a windy day and used the 80 mm macro. On a high shutter, it was able to give me pretty sharp images which I then put into Topaz Sharperner AI. I wish I had quicker reflexes because I got a lot of duds too. But then why was I doing macro in the wind! I'm just stubborn.
I don't have the patience for focus stacking. Again math and patience not my best.
Thanks again. I do appreciate the help.
How do I see the other members' imges? |
