63 Oct 25 Reply It is a "variation on a theme" and was not intended on being 'better'. Here I was trying to demonstrate what I meant by being a bit "flat" in my comments. Take my thoughts with as much salt as you care. Oct 22nd
63 Oct 25 Comment What a successful and detailed presentation of this butterfly. Great use of what equipment that you happen to have. Nice dept of field and the butterfly is wonderfully sharp and crips. In order to reduce the impression that the butterfly is less attached to the environment, I might have been tempted to darken slightly the stem and bloom that the butterfly is sitting upon. This might separate these elements from the background a bit and increased the relevance of their role in the image a bit more. A minor point though, Great image ! Oct 21st
63 Oct 25 Comment What a fun abstract image. Interesting to hear of the methodology and efforts that went into obtaining such an image. It is challenging to critique such an image as there is such a large creative and personal aspect to the shot. I do like the different colors and defined abstract shapes which is what I feel the image is all about. To my eye this is less about the crystals themselves and more about tine color, shapes and forms within. If I had to suggest changes (which I am a bit reluctant to do with these artistic images) the image does appear a bit flat. Adding a bit more contrast, and perhaps selectively darkening the outside elements might add back a bit of dimension to the presentation. I have provided an example of this, although you well may not agree with the choices I made in this effort. My goal was to demonstrate what I felt in regard to a flat vs more dimensioned presentation. See what you think. If what I suggest here is moving the image away from your personal vision, please ignore my thoughts here. Regardless, an interesting an striking image. Oct 21st
63 Oct 25 Comment What an interesting rendition of this scene. I can see why it placed well in the Macro Abstract competition. A nice blend of abstract and reality. Lots of great decisions in regard to color, composition. Have you consider rotating this 180 degrees? This would reduce the abstract quality some (which is an artistic choice and not a quality improvement) but retain the scene in a bit more surreal sense. Just a thought that occurred to me. Great images though as it is. Oct 21st
63 Oct 25 Comment Lots of things happened both fast and effectively to capture this image, and this is a credit to you as a photographer. Congratulations on capturing this rare moment. As I noted earlier, this image effectively captures the scene with sufficient detail and clarity to tell this interesting story. If one wanted to quibble, one might suggest hat the bloom and butterfly are not sufficiently separated to be clear, but to my eye this critique ignores the success in capturing the moment, and while true represents a less significant point. I do agree with Murphy's thoughts, as it appears you do as well. Great image ! Oct 21st
