Flower side 2.jpg

Interesting image and it looks to me as if it would be hard to shoot. Its distributed architecture means it lacks a specific focal point, so I can understand this fill-the-frame approach to composition. I think you have cropped it a little to tightly on the right but the colours of your great subject carry your image.

Responding to your call for comments on these images.

Really nice image but I think it shouts 'straighten me'; having that vertical line adjacent to the right hand side of the image means that it shouldn't be anything other than perfectly vertical too.

I like this image a lot, though clipping of the top of the rose probably detracts a little. Very nice light though.

Excellent capture - from looking at it I wouldn't have known it was taken in challenging circumstances, I think you've done a great job here; I think your choices with the contrast settings / black point are particularly effective.

I like the degree of background blur you have here, it isolates your subject well. The ladybug is a good catch too. This is good capture but I think the cloudy day remains apparent - quite difficult to combat I think, I wonder how something like the fill flash (?) in Adobe Camera Raw would work.

Overall though, a great composition and a very nice subject.

This is a really nice image but I know this can look better - just a tad more contrast and perhaps a little more exposure, sharpening and saturation would bring this alive. There is a similar flower in the April FS and had I not seen that one, I might just praise this lovely image but as it is I think there is some more untapped potential here.

You always RULE with lighting - no surprises here. Great, soft stuff.
