32 Jan 21 Comment This is a good image. Lightbulbs can be so difficult to photograph, but you've captured the filament nicely. Putting the bulb on a diagonal does make it somewhat more dynamic, but showing the socket shell makes it a different image. Moving it to the right as Jennifer has done looks good, but I miss seeing the bottom curvature of the bulb. The background fits the image well. After the manipulations shown above, I like the original. Jan 21st
32 Jan 21 Comment Nice composite and as said, looks as if it's one image. I'm leaning toward the color image as a preference. Although the monochrome provides great texture, the color image shows a rich array of colored rust and has a lot interest. Rust and it's colors are plentiful up in Pittsburgh! The meerkats' faces you've captured are more pronounced in the color version as well. They look so innocent and sweet, while in reality that's not the case at all... Jan 21st

65 Jan 21 Comment This is a very nice image. The way you have captured the tight center of the rose is well done. The detail of the drops on the petals add to the image, and although the little green aphid on the petal may also add, you probably don't want him there. The depth you have captured allows me to imagine the texture of the rose.

The additional rose on the right is somewhat distracting to me. I might not get rid of it, but perhaps fade and blur it a bit more. Very pleasant image. I also commend you for successfully growing roses. There are only 2 plants (thus far) I found I cannot grow and one of them is a rose. 		Jan 19th
65 Jan 21 Comment Angela,
Your goal of blurring the petals and focusing on the center was a good choice. I agree with Peter that more focus on the stigma would be a good choice. While the stamens and the filaments (the stem-like part) are in focus, the pistil is not. Because there's only one pistil, it draws the eye in. Composition is very nicely done. With a show just for lilies the fragrance must have been overwhelming. 		Jan 19th
65 Jan 21 Comment Jeff - Thank you for your explanation. I've tried IR with little success. This is an interesting image, and purposeful as Peter notes. The center appears a bit soft, but other than that I find it pleasantly different.

Out of curiosity I flipped the image and cropped a little. What do you think?		 Jan 19th
65 Jan 21 Comment I like the many different colors and the sweep of stems(?) To me image is colorful and happy. The bright spots in the background could be darkened, but they aren't that distracting for me. You might want to consider cropping in a bit on the right and up. The pink flower bud in the lower right corner is somewhat distracting. The leaf on the right is pleasant, but maybe too sharp.

Take a look at the crop below and see what you think.
Your flower is sharp and I like the color. This looks like a begonia, but haven't seen this color before. Nice shot. 		Jan 19th
65 Jan 21 Comment I'm not seeing any areas on the pepper that are focused, except for the very end on the left side. The pepper has a great shape, and the reflection fills the area nicely. But because it's out of focus, the reflection reminds me of a potato. Jan 12th
65 Jan 21 Reply Well, yes. Not my biggest success here. But one of the reasons I chose this image was to get feedback as to how to improve for next time. In order to redeem myself, I encourage you to go to group 32, where my image is a white rose. More success with the rose is evident.
You inspired me to try different techniques to increase this shot, even if just a little...		 Jan 12th
