65 Jul 24 Comment I agree with Esther about the background. When doing close-ups of flowers, the background can be more important than the subject. Backgrounds can make or break the image. The background is the first thing I look for in the image. By moving ever so little can change everything. Jul 30th
65 Jul 24 Comment Nice focus on the flower and bee. Nice background. Would like to see the flower off center with a closer crop so the flower occupies more of the space in the image. To my eye I would like to see the image toned down to give the flower more saturation. I might try a flip and a closer crop. Jul 18th
65 Jul 24 Comment Love this, David. Simply pure art!!!! Beautiful. Jul 12th
65 Jul 24 Comment Interesting flower, like how the buds have a neat twist to them. Great background which makes the flower stand out and gives it nice depth.
When you took the original shot, with the camera metering in pattern, it read the background as too dark. As a result, it overexposed the image. This caused the open flower to be blown out. Areas that are blown out in an image loose detail and cannot be fixed in post. To correct this, you would have to subtract the exposure by one stop maybe more before you took the shot. I also don't feel the image is as sharp as it could be. I might crop off the bottom set of flowers.
I like the stage the flower is in with only two flowers open and the rest buds. To my eye this is better than if all the flowers were open.		 Jul 12th
65 Jul 24 Comment Beautiful lighting with the overcast sky. I agree with the comments David made. I would crop off the bottom half of the of the image and some on the right side. To my eye the bottom out of focus flower is not needed in the composition. I feel it competes with the main flower and pulls my eye down to that area. I also would tone down the buds in the background, so they are not so bright. Jul 12th
