African Violet

I always have a hard time doing African violet photos - the surface is so shiny. I think if you look at the other flower shots in this challenge you will see notable differences in the area of composition and choice of background, focus acros the subject, and attention to detail such at the shadows across the flower. Keep up the good work.

Good tones and composition. I wish the lighting wereless harsh across the name on the nib.

Good setup. More DOF so that "lemon" is in focus.

Excellent detail. Colors are great. Twinkle in the eye. The backgound is the only negative and it is very minor.

Good color - the little blue gray on the right is a good touch. Soft rose photos are some of my favorites, but this one is a little too soft - it is loosing definition.

Good focus showing off the texture on the surface. Wish the screw could have been in focus since it is in the shot.

Good example. Composition is excellent. The very black background sets it off. Focus is a little soft, but it is OK for this subject.

Good idea. I think it would have been a better macro shot if you could have moved in and used only 1/4 of this image.

Colorful. Focus and clarity on the bubble does not work for me.
