A NOTE TO ALL MY FRIENDS: I WILL BE COMMENTING LESS ON PEOPLE IN MY “FRIENDS” LIST SO AS TO MAKE TIME FOR VIEWING ALL “NEW IMAGES” AND ENCOURAGING OTHER PEOPLE OF WHOM I MAY NOT KNOW OR ARE NEW TO THE SITE. I WILL STILL VIEW EVERY IMAGE OF MY FRIENDS AND STILL COMMENT ON SOME IF I CAN GIVE A GOOD CRITIQUE OR MENTION WHAT I LIKE OR FEEL IS REALLY WORKIN’ WELL IN THE IMAGE. AS FAR AS MY IMAGES IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON HOW I CAN IMPROVE AN IMAGE I REALLY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT SO AS TO LEARN AND BETTER MYSELF.
I love flower photography. This one has so much to offer too with its focus on the center flower. I think it could be even better though if you could have managed to isolate just one flower. It's a technique that allows the viewer to see only the subject without distractions. There's a page around here called Rules of Composition that explains a lot of this stuff. I read it every once in a while to learn new stuff.
A little loss of details in the outer fringes and perhaps a drop in the gamma to create a wee more depth??
Nice thought on the take...I luv the "in your face" type stuff!! Keep'em coming as we always wanna see more!!
