63 Mar 21 Comment Hi Priscilla: A very unique and informal yet graceful composition with the stems coming from the upper right and on a diagonal to the lower left, a very good job of composing this group of 5 Carnations. I have no problem with your background being lighter on top and then darkening up towards the bottom of the frame, creative thinking in my humble opinion. What I do notice is some variation of background color along the top Carnation stem, perhaps a digital artifact of some sort. If you could somehow minimize this color shading it would improve your picture which I find very pleasant as is. Mar 28th
63 Mar 21 Comment Hi Barbara: Your focus stacking was a success as the image is very sharp front to back, no fall off in sharpness any place. Your exposure is spot on. I can barely make out a dark blue background; a nice border of some type would separate your very dark blue background from our black web page and would frame your entire picture very well.

63 Mar 21 Comment Hi Alane: Our other members have already mentioned some ideas, so will not repeat them. If I had a (nit) it would be the light area in the upper right corner, it is a slight distraction. It would be really easy to clone in some of the yellow background into this area. It is much easier to do a precise job if you enlarge your picture up to 200% before you attempt any correction. Mar 28th
63 Mar 21 Reply HI All: Several have mentioned using this wood pattern as a horizontal and it also works really well that way. We can view an abstract type image 8 different ways, some will work better than others from a composition standpoint. Fun to experiment! Mar 28th
63 Mar 21 Comment Hi Richard: Certainly a very well done portrait of the Orchid flower with good colors and sharpness. Do agree with Beverly that a border would help to define your black background from the black web page of our website. Mar 28th
63 Mar 21 Comment Hi Neal: You have captured another interesting insect to do your photo magic on. As always your focus stacking is done just perfectly with super sharpness, and with correct exposure on the spider. The vivid colors of the spider compliment each other very well. From a composition standpoint the spider is positioned on a slight diagonal from lower left to upper right, not the least bit static. Border color is well chosen as it blends well with the golden tones of the spider; if I had a nit it would be the right lower leg nearly touches the gold border, but this would be really easy to correct. Great Work !! Mar 7th
