This a beautiful image Diana, softly lit and moving from clear focus at the front to soft focus at the rear. The violet line markings through the petals add interest too. Overall an image where one can gaze and take in the details and feel calmed by it all. |

I like your image Rich especially the light reflecting in the building windows as the sun set. The buildings are the star of this image and I like what Donna did to replace the planes with waterfront in shadow so the tall buildings are the definite point of focus. |

It is astounding that your brightly coloured image is created from the original you show. This is an interesting abstraction but like Donna, I prefer your Original 2 for the colours and the shape I think. With regards to being flat, yes it is a little and some of the colour has paled. That might be what you were aiming for and my comments are purely subjective. Keep playing. It will be interesting to see your next creations. |

A fascinating place, Iceland where I have not yet been. You are fortunate indeed and the image captures well the size and dominance of these ice formations. It may be worth trying a mild vignette to make the lighter three front icebergs more dramatic in their stark surroundings. |

Excellent clarity on the squirrel's face and especially the eye with an attractive catchlight. It does look as if it has one eye on you whilst concentrating on its food. I was going to suggest lowering your exposure before I read Donna's comments on screen brightness. Either way, the image is a little too bright for me and would be improved by being darkened slightly. |

I do like the soft look you have created Donna. And the clarity of the front petals fading away to softness in the back. And the textures add a painterly look. Flowers are beautiful and so often photographed for that reason. It is good to view an image which is a little different from a straight shot. Keep trying the things you are trying and and I'm sure you will find new and different ways to show the beauty of flowers. |

How fortunate that the bees and dragonflies were visiting the garden at the same time you were Ricarda. It does make for a more interesting image, especially on a bright, sunny day as this appeared to be.
The focus as Joseph has said, is slightly to the front of the bee but because of the sun's brightness we can still see the gossamer wings. This is despite a shutter speed of 1/8000, an indication on how fast those wings move.
A nice shot in difficult conditions. |

This image is not without merit Joseph, not least because you did a vertical panorama to make it. The tall part of the structure leads up to a wonderfully moody sky, the round structure balances the height and the overall grittiness of your edit suits the combination of elements.
Sure, the round structure is too close to the right edge but some judicious editing would fix that.
Thanks for sharing it. |

A gorgeous capture Howard. The focus is crisp for the front three quarters or more of the flower and to me does not detract at all (there are those who prefer focus hundred percent front to back which would probably involve bracketing). The colours are vibrant and a big part of the attractiveness. Whatever you did to have them looking that rich - capture or editing - it is brilliant. I wonder would you consider cropping 1:1 around the rose itself. It really is the star of the show and the leaves bottom left in my view, are superfluous. |
