A Bit of Color

Nice color and texture, excellent focus and dof! Wouldn't mind seeing the little stray threads cloned out, would add to the pristine feeling of this image :-)

The nice shallow DOF makes this really interesting to me, makes me think about the true dimensions of the objects in the image. What I mean is, my brain expects the leaves at the bottom of the image to be at the same focal plane as the wood in the bottom of the image (good 2D brain), and yet they are not; the water droplets high up on the central leaf are at the same focal plane as the wood at the bottom, which is just not what my brain expects... :-) I love how this made me think about the reality of the scene!

Wow, if only my bad luck produced such amazing results! This is gorgeous! The vibrant pink against the deep green looks lovely; gives a low-key sense even with that pink... again I am mesmerized and cannot stop looking :-)

Very pretty sky, love all the booths, this one makes me smile! I know what you mean about the crop, I have that Sigma 10-20mm too and it breaks my heart to crop many of the shots... :-) But this square crop looks good too!

Wow, excellent portrait especially because it is candid as well! You seem to have captured her spirit in this shot, thanks for sharing a bit about your grandmother!

You chose a great group for your crop with the few in the middle and the one in the left perched differently, it breaks it up nicely! You gotta wonder what birds like this are thinking...
I like seeing the gradient of blue in the sky, the comp works great! I wouldn't mind seeing the noise reduced in the sky a bit :-)

I love the detail of rust and peeling paint you've captured, and the lighting is great, gives lots of dimension to the different portions! Perfect sky color too, an all-around great shot!

What a gorgeous flower! The clarity is wonderful (love seeing the pollen) and the color is so rich and looks fantastic against black!
