This is a great shot - your flora AND fauna had amazing DoF. I can't believe HOW perfect it is to JUST nab the edges and soften it up. *sigh* I'll just sit back and listen to you - works that way. :)

Congrats.

I like this shot. Since I didn't have a photo entered I didn't vote, but I did look through the photos. I expected this one to do much better. The soft fuzzy feel... with just a tad of focus to let the viewer know it was intentional is just great!

I wanted it to look fluffy - hence the shallow DoF. Not sure many people liked it though! Thanks for the comments.

i like this but i wish the dandelion was a bit more off center.

Great deep colours and shallow DOF. I love the effect it has on the dandelion hairs. Nice photo.

Beautiful

Great job! One of my favorites so far - Love the focus and the colors.

Beautiful soft focus really adds to the feeling of the image. Nice work!

Good. Good. Good.
Love the light/texture/focus. Nice work...
04/22/2003 11:14:50 AM
nice effect we can really feel the fluff!

Excellent. I love your use of a shallow DOF. The white really stands out against the background. Good job. Jacko. 9

Well placed and very good focus on the subject. It gives the edges a very soft feeling.
04/22/2003 06:06:37 AM
Excellent shallow DOF, well done! The blurred green background highlights the main subject perfectly, love it! Cool title :-)

Great color, texture and balancing components in the background. Looks like some selective blurring outside the middle of the flower, but it works well here.

The whites are outstanding. I think a tighter shot would have been a stronger composition.
04/21/2003 11:18:18 PM
nice macro. i want my camera!!! I could take great pics. almost as good as this.
04/21/2003 10:26:09 PM
I would have preferred more depth of field in this shot. Just my personal opinion, though. The shallow dof gives it a lot more perspective.
04/21/2003 09:58:01 PM
love the DOF...beautiful detail. well done!
04/21/2003 11:31:00 AM
Nice
04/21/2003 02:33:40 AM
Super subject, a pity there is not more DOF here, that would have added enormously to make this a winning shot!
04/21/2003 01:35:24 AM
Really nice shot, like the focus...
04/21/2003 01:03:35 AM
The softness in this photo is soliciting a 'touch'. The razor thin depth of field works well here... the dandilion has a nice soft 'halo' around it that improves the theme of 'softness' even more... great shot :) = 10 - setzler
