65 Feb 25 Comment Thank you, Maria, for your comments and critique. I agree with you. Too many times, when we see a shot, we tend to have tunnel vision and get in a hurry. We don't pay attention to the details and what's going on in the rest of the frame, another reason to use a tripod, to slow us down and look around in the frame.

I did some clone work to remove the bright leaf in the background and crop the image. I do like this. What do you think?

I found a note, I'm using for a bookmark, in a book I am reading. I had written this note to myself worth repeating to our members and something to think about. It goes like this.

It's never the camera that takes the photo; it's always the one holding the camera and the skill of that person that determines the final results.

65 Feb 25 Comment Nice background making the flower jump out with great impact. Like David I may eliminate the background flower. I like the nice soft lighting. Would like to know more about the lighting which gives the image depth. Feb 18th
65 Feb 25 Comment Great detail in each petal with the sharp focus throughout. Shooting at f-32 you really have to back the background back more to throw it out of focus. I would prefer a different background that's darker maybe green. When you light from directly overhead the flower tends to be flat and lack depth. I like the composition with the space around the flower. Feb 18th
65 Feb 25 Comment Very well done. Like the tight crop. The rain drops add impact to the image. Feb 18th
65 Feb 25 Comment Love the colors in this. Nice soft lighting. I agree with David and like what he did with the composition. Feb 18th
65 Feb 25 Comment I like the composition in this image. I wish there were more DOF. In this kind of shot, I feel detail in the snow showing texture and patterns in the snow would really add to the image. Feb 14th
65 Feb 25 Comment This is a great shot. Love the composition and the background. The yellow really stands out nice. Feb 14th
65 Feb 25 Reply You are so right David; I was shooting through leaves on both sides of the lens. They do not touch the lens but are about 1/2" away to make this look. Feb 3rd
