The Lilly

Comment by aliqui:
I really like your lighting, both in the foreground and background. You've captured the colors and softness of the lily nicely. I do notice quite a bit of grain in your background. Nothing a run through Neat Image or similar wouldn't fix.

One thing I struggled with shooting Calla Lilies was composition. It's like photographing a person. If you crop at a joint it looks awkward. Something about your composition here makes it feel like it was clipped at a joint. I think anything without the stem looks unnatural. I took a ton of shots and what I ended up posting still didn't seem right, heh.

I read through a couple of the other comments, and I have to agree with there being too much dead space. I cropped a big chunk of it out in Photoshop, and can't say I missed what was cropped out. The minimalism type feel and contrast was still there.

This is great. I love seeing how somebody can photograph something so common as a tree, and make it into a unique piece by looking at it just right.

Lacks interest..it seems like a snap shot to me..The very large shadow takes away from the picture IMO...it is hard to see the "rock"

Hmmm? I'm wondering if I would have liked a wider view better.

To me, the tree and the rock are in too much shadow.

Maybe a different angle or different time of daylight would add more interest for me. It's okay, but not real exciting for me.
