63 Mar 26 Comment I am not sure if I appreciate the advantage that taking the same image of the flowers in slightly different angles and compositing them, and what it does for the image. It might be interesting to see a single image of this bunch side by side with the final composited image to demonstrate what this technique does for the final presentation. Regarding the image submitted, it is clean and powerful in its presentation. Well done. The final edits might be somewhat enhanced if one darkened the stems some and perhaps cloning out some of the blown out areas slightly. I would also be tempted to darken and blur the background to remove a bit of the blotchiness present. Finally, I would expand the canvas and fill the expansion some with the background, as the image looks a bit constrained here. I have provided an edited version of the image to illustrate my thoughts. See what you think … Mar 28th
63 Mar 26 Comment Interesting image where you have successfully captured two subjects on the same bloom. In reading the group's comments I don't disagree with the suggestions for improvement. Especially in regard to the background branches and the crop (cropping in from the sides). In looking at the image, I also feel that it is difficult to make out the head of the main moth (or is it a butterfly) yet that is where my eye goes. To improve this, I might remove some of the background flowers to make the head more visible and defined. It also feels as though the subjects are a bit overexposed and that darkening slightly the moth and bee will bring out these subjects and their native detail a bit more effectively. Finally, I might be tempted to blur the background a bit more to smooth of the subtle distracting elements in the background. I have provided an edited version of the image to illustrate my thoughts. See what you think … Mar 28th
63 Mar 26 Comment An impressive artistic presentation. It's amazing what color that can be generated with the right lighting. Mar 28th
63 Mar 26 Comment Love the image and your thoughts behind the capture. Interesting comments offered thus far. One of the strengths of this image is the clarity and simplicity of the capture. Along those lines though, the dust spots and specular highlights detract some from the presentation. If this were my image, I would take the time to remove all of the dust spots and specular highlights to create a cleaner image. This is easy to do using the photoshop remove tool although it does take some time. I have provided a version of this image where this was done to illustrate my point. See what you think about these edits ... Mar 28th
63 Mar 26 Comment A fun shot. You caught the subject nicely, no easy task as they do seem to move a lot. I agree with the earlier comments. I would add that sharpening the bee might be beneficial (High pass sharpening in Photoshop or using Topaz Photo AI) Mar 28th
63 Mar 26 Comment Interesting image. I agree with the earlier comments, in that it could use a bit more micro-contrast to bring out the texture within the petals and drops. It also appears to be a bit constrained (cropped too tight) as well. Mar 28th
