interesting concept :) I think you could probably use some visible separation between each image to make the triptych theme even stronger...

This is a nice composition and storyline... i think it would be even stronger if you had horizontally flipped each image where the action was going to the right rather than the left...

these are excellent macro shots... i think the composition would be even stronger if there was some more separation between each image...

Hi RJ...

Nice closeup of the center of a tulip... I have given up on trying to photograph reds like this with my 707. Maybe the 717 does a better job of this :)

Your composition here seems to be fine... I prefer the off center perspective you chose and the square framing works well with that choice.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot to offer you on this photo as far as critique is concerned. This particulary type of shot is a favorite of many and you have executed it as well as any.

Keep up the good work :)

Hi BigSmiles...

I believe, as I mentioned in my original comment, that this is a very appealing photo. The most striking part of it for me is the nice mesh between the purple and yellow color on the flower petals. The yellow center really pops out nicely against the purple surroundings.

I also prefer dark backgrounds on most flower shots. It does a wonderful job of isolating the flower from an environment that could otherwise be distracting in various ways.

One of the compositional elements I particularly enjoy in this image is the way the upper rear petals seem to form 'wings' for this flower. That element almost gives the front facing elements of the flower some facial characteristics... maybe a purple angel in flight :)

The image is slightly grainy... probably a result of the ISO 400 camera setting. I believe the color saturation could be a little better and the grain removed completely by shooting at ISO 100 with a longer shutter speed. A tripod would be required and some patience to set up the composition, but I think it would enhance the overall quality of this image quite a bit :)

Keep up the good work :)
