The center was more in shadow and I think that made the focus a bit harder to nail. But I also didn't think it was so drastic that it took away from the entire shot. :)
Thanks for your comments! |

So Lou, I have to be honest here, I thought this was a pancake laying on the grass, LOL. Welcome back!
For me, because this is a mushroom of enormous size, I would have liked to see it at an angle that would include some of the stem and a little bit of height. That probably means you'd have to be laying on the ground to take that shot. Not sure if that angle would have even been possible, but I would know right away that this was an unusual and unique mushroom and the photo would have more dimension to it. To go along with your title, seeing the egg under it rather than on it, would tell that story as well! :)
Great find! |

I really like this image Bob. Your composition and the direction the keys are laid out, draws your eyes into the photo and gives you a lot to look at without it feeling too busy or chaotic. The different color metals against the wood looks very pleasing to my eye.
I'm glad you chose to include the numbers and letters because I think that really adds to this photo.
Very nice! |

This definitely brought a smile to my face! I know nothing about soot gremlins, so I need an education.
I like the composition and you managed the white of the eyes really well. I HATE how tedious focus stacking is (and I don't do it well) and commend you on taking 20 shots! You definitely nailed the focus.
I agree with Carol that the maroon velvet would probably look better if it was less in focus, and/or toned down in some way so that your gremlins are the definite center of attention.
Very creative! |

Bill, I have to agree with Carol that I really like your original shot! The colors are fine as they are and the composition is really good. For some reason your edited version looks like you increased the saturation, not just lowered your highlights and exposure. So maybe you just took it a little too far?
I can tell that the light was really strong and harsh as well. The shadows are really hard. Have you considered carrying a small, collapsible diffuser with you to block the light? I find that helps a lot when shooting outdoors. |

I like the framing of this lizards eye through the fence. I think you used the harsh lighting well to capture the details of the texture on his/her skin. I like how the fence is out of focus, but you also got the shadows on the ground. I see your vision for making the fence a key element in your photo.
What I wish I could see though, is a little more of the lizards body. Doing that might take this away from a "close-up" shot, but I just personally feel the composition would be even better with a little more lizard. However, on the flip side, for a more macro point of view, focusing only on his/her eye through the fence could have been really interesting too. Honing in on the details and texture of the skin and the eye would make for a really nice macro shot.
Very interesting subject. Good for you for trying something different! |

Oh goodness Carol! Thank you so much for the compliment! I have worked very hard on improving my compositions, controlling the light,and post-processing of my flower photography. The subject matter really speaks to me,and I enjoy finding just the right specimen to work with. I sometimes wait days for the flowers I choose to bloom (or not) in a way that really captures my eye.
I appreciate your comments and kind words! |
