65 Apr 21 Reply Yes, he did mention that. It might be somewhat of a challenge, but still doable for a few slices (with some luck). Apr 28th
65 Apr 21 Comment What a fun image. The blooms have such interesting centers, and here you have provided us with a wonderful view into it's detail. The differential focus between the center structure and the surrounding areas is effective, and really highlights the center. That being said I would go a bit further. To my eye the entire image is a bit washed out, and I would enhance the shadows some and to add a bit of micro-contrast to make the central structure stand out a bit more. Your composition does this to some extent, but why not push it a bit more. I have presented a version below to demonstrate my thoughts more. See what you think ... Apr 25th
65 Apr 21 Comment I am enjoying the different and a bit more artistic rendition of this flower. As presented we are forced to appreciate the bloom in a slightly different manner. Since the stamens are so front and center I would have liked to see them in greater focus. Your composition has placed them in the spotlight, so I expect them to be clean and sharp, and I am a bit disappointed in this regard. Apr 25th
65 Apr 21 Comment I really am enjoying the subject, and the angle you have provided. The detail is sufficient to really peak my interest, especially in the milkweed fibers. I do not disagree with any of the pervious comments or thoughts. I wonder if the image would look better if all of the pod were in focus. Different yes, but better, I wonder. I would have liked to see more detail in the stems leading to the main pod, or in at last one of them. When I shoot my macro images I can care to ensure that I have a few frames where the stems are in focus. I may or may not use them, but it's nice to have the option. Apr 25th
65 Apr 21 Comment Lots of fun stuff to enjoy in this image. Although it is an abstract there are still some definite places for your eye to latch onto, and a sense of flow to appreciate as well. Nice range of tones for this monochrome image as well. I believe that all of these points are critical to a good abstract. Apr 25th
65 Apr 21 Reply The lights I used are from Adaptalux (https://adaptalux.com). Each colored light wand was purchased separately. It was a bit expensive, but I really like the flexibility and options these lights offer me. Apr 7th
