Beautiful. First time I have actually seen the "bird" in a Bird of Paradise.

Great timing, the contrast certainly adds drama. OTOH, the contrast is a bit harsh. I rarely advocate for soft focus and vignettes, but a tender moment might work better with that style. OTOOH, a rebellion against convention adds an edge to an otherwise somewhat cliche shot. As you can probably see, I'm a bit conflicted here.

Full Moon Party

Comment by Ken:
at first I thought this was done with a fisheye because of how the curtains and chairs and people sort of wrap around with the moon as focal point. That's pretty cool to have a full moon party.

Your composition is just perfect in this shot. I understand your frustration with trying to shoot these things with the filters, I'm guessing you had a really shallow DOF and yet you managed to make it into a good shot.

That flower is just about glowing - great find. It looks like an arrow or something that shot right down into the plant.

So wonderful to look at. I fully agree with your own comment. Nice colors and beautiful dark background.

I love the colors in the image. the unblurred petals on the left doesn't make sence in the scene. The stamen needs some dodging to even out the brightness in the rest of the image.
(the frame works for me after a few min.)

You do realize this would have done much better with a blue water drop splash on top LOL. I like how the background plays with the glass..

Sunday Breakfast at the Beach

Comment by Ken:
It's amazing what phones can do these days. I like how the umbrellas just jump off the screen, and oh that looks like a nice place to spend some time on a Sunday morning.
