24 Jun 24 Comment Yvonne, Very nice subject and a very good capture. I agree with Frank's crop and darkening of the background. Lovely subject and a very good exposure. Nice work!!! Jun 25th
24 Jun 24 Comment Frank, excellent composition. Love the color! I brough the image into Elements and toned down the highlights just a little. I think more detail came out as a result....

I can see this as being a very nice print!!

24 Jun 24 Comment Fred, beautiful shot. The light on the blossom is excellent and I really like the background. Very, very good work! Jun 25th
24 Jun 24 Comment Charissa, excellent idea and execution. I like Pinaki's comments about drawings done prior to color photography. Outstanding! I'd never think to do this sort of thing. Well done! Jun 25th
24 Jun 24 Comment Bev, this is a pretty impressive effort. You are good at substituting backgrounds. I feel you have an impressive result with this image. Though I like what you've produced, Frank's cropping looks pretty good two. A little hard to decide which is better! Jun 25th
24 Jun 24 Comment Pinaki: I like the composition and the subject. I agree that the background is pretty bright and detracts from the flower. Bev's and Frank's changes do improve the image. Good shot though. An Iris is an excellent subject!!! Jun 25th
24 Jun 24 Reply Charissa, thank you. I've thought about this for a while. I expect to repeat the effort soon! Jun 23rd
24 Jun 24 Reply Pinaki - Thank you. The3 tripod collar really helped. I don't have any other lenses that would allow for this kind of effort.
I read a couple articled in the PSA journal about smartphone photography. I don't imagine this could be done well with a smart phone.... So, there may be some things that a camera/lens combo has real advantages over phones.

48 Jun 24 Comment Tom, Great description! Great capture. The lighting is excellent and everything is sharp. Excellent!!! Jun 23rd
48 Jun 24 Comment Jamie, powerful image. The sky looks magnificent. Lots of detail. I do like the way the shore and cloud pattern take my eye over to the right edge of the frame. Very nice capture. Jun 23rd
48 Jun 24 Comment Paul, The flower to the left of the frame doesn't help the hummingbird. The hummingbird is great and I agree with Stewart's crop!! Jun 23rd
48 Jun 24 Comment Bev, Excellent shot. I like this very much! The facial expression is great and the lighting is excellent! Jun 23rd
