Never seen such vertical height with these flowers. Immediately caught my eye in and amongst the new images.


Really like your composition here, Pat. Very nice visual dynamics ... lines, shapes, et al and their respective placement of ... within frame.

I think ... which is not my strong suit ... that you must have cropped the original image. (Given the resolution size(s) available to us.)


Caveats?

Suggestion, really.

Something about that one bloom to be in the upper left hand corner that slightly interrupts the 'flow' mentioned above.

Perhaps, some creative vignetting to relegate it more so to the background? As in, create a swath in the upper left and then, that of the bottom right for balance?


And in turn, et voila ... some 'framing' element is introduced as well.


That said, you and your camera did a fine job on the technical front. With the end result to us, your viewers, of a very good image.


And for your creative and photographic efforts ... thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

Wonderful clarity on the main flower and a very good composition. I disagree with Les's comment about the bud. It belongs here - that is nature.

This reminds me of something you would see on a Hallmark card. Beautiful flower and the clarity is perfectly.

Pat - In thumbnail, this photo caught my eye. Viewed full size - it is beautiful. The focus on the full bloom in detail and lighting is perfect. Kudos! Thad

I saw this in New Imagaes and was immediately attracted to it. They are standing tall and strong like soldiers and yet retain a beautiful mellow softness. Excellent photography Pat - faved.

Your composition, focus and variety are great, colors are as soft and delicate as the subject. My only minor caveat would be the hard fringing around the open blossum is somewhat distracting to me. Still, a KEEPAH.

I like it Pat, mine always have the colors blown out. Looks like it is standing proud. There is a little noise in the photo though.
