Agreed, is a fun image to look at. ;^)


Thanks, I will try that. This was a tough day because the sun was so darn bright and was coming from the right. I didn't use a fill flash but I will try it next time. Thanks!

Thank you for the comments! The lense I used on this one (and most of my macro shots) in a Sigma 70-300mm in marco mode.

Comment by posthumous:
the picture has a fragmented effect. your sister's face is lit in a completely different way than your wife's face. Also, it looks like your sister's head is kind of lying on her shoulder without them really being parts of the same body. Personally, I like it. It has a collage feeling to it.

Image is fine quality-wise, but the composition feels off. The butterfly is too tight in the corner for my liking.

Nice DOF and well focused. You did a nice job handling the whites of the daisies and exposing properly.
