Day 21 - Bokeh

Comment by ordinaryangel:
Nice bokeh. I just wish the focus were on the flowers and not the leaves.

Comment by JBHale:
Interesting. This just doesn't grab me. The butterflies are so small they don't seem like a strong element in the shot.

Oooooo love the bokeh you have going here. I agree about the leaves being hot. You could crop those out and still have a great shot.

Day 22 - Butterfly

Comment by glad2badad:
In a way, I find this refreshing. By having the butterfly somewhat distant it gives the viewer a feeling of being there and having scared off the butterfly. Compositionally, this feels a tad off balance. I want to shift everything right into that open space and give the butterfly more room on the left. :)

This is fun. It's almost like the main subject is on stage and the large circles (bg-right) are the spotlights. :)

Not sure if it's just the distance, or if they're soft, but the buds of the main plant seem a tad OOF?

Very good eye to see this shot.

You do know that since this image is in your 'Workshop' it's not visible by others just browsing your portfolio, and I don't think this will show up in the Browse Photos/Recently Commented On area of DPC.

Day 22 - Butterfly

Comment by dtremain:
Don't choose difficult subjects, do you? This is a nice picture. I like the grass springing from the bottom of the frame. Unfortunately, it looks like the butterfly is slightly OOF, and there isn't much contrast between the flower and the background. Couldn't you position the butterfly closer to the flower? ;-p

Very nice bokeh. The two leaves are too hot, and distract from the flower.

Very nice. Love the tones here and the texture of the wooden peels.
