Yes, these little critters can scuttle about a lot, but as they rarely fly off, you are tempted to keep chasing them. Easier said than done with a miniscule depth of field. So you have lost focus on the far antenna and the top crescent of its back and head, but it matters not for an artistic photo I think. A nice result. |

I agree, it's the opposite of John's image and yet its simplicity gives it strength I think. Your depth of field is well chosen, although I'd have preferred the very top to be sharp as it's a point of interest, if you'd pardon the pun. Speaking of which, there is a small pointed detail at the very top. Is that something behind the subject? It seems out of place to me, I'd clone it out. |

There's lovely detail here, and a riot of colour that makes it interesting.
I think the highlights (or maybe they are light patched on the flower) could do with darkening a bit, or cloned out. I would crop a bit off both sides as centre stage draws my attention the most. |

I've seen potato eyes many times of course, but never thought to photograph them! They make a good subject!
I think your post processing has done a good job, and the stack has given good depth of field that suits the subject.
I think it's a little dark, and lightening the eyes would make them stand out more and give more impact. |

I do like this. I'm struggling a little to see why you have a good depth of field, as the wing pointing towards us is all equally sharp as the body and far wing, given the camera settings. The more distant part of the flower is blurred as I'd expect. But who cares, it's a lovely result, nicely composed. |

Beautiful, well done.
A UV torch has been on my shopping list for ages, the choice of what to buy I found to be overpowering so I flunked out.
I wonder if the UV only illuminated the top part of the centre, as the lower part looks dark. Maybe it doesn't fluoresce the same way as the stigma does.
Your choice of background could have been criticised for being too similar to the petals, to my non-imaginative way of thinking. But the outline is clear all round the flower, and the result is very calm and restful. It's not pin sharp, but again I think that must be deliberate as it makes it so soft.
More, please! |
