Enjoy.

Thank you! I spent a bit framing it in the viewfinder.

Beautiful and calm view. I like the tones there.

Only small thing that I would have done differently would be that I would have had small empty space between the flower and end of the photo in the foreground.

Thanks!

And yeah, I think you're talking about the general rule of "breathing room" for living things in photographs? I'll keep that in mind!

theFouro In reply to Leap [2007-09-17 10:26:21 +0000 UTC]

Well, I don't know about any general rule, but it just would seem more pleasant if the main subject wasn't that far in corner while it's not that close.

the colors are awesome, and the vignette adds to it. The flowers in the back look like they've been through an artistic filter, the way they are blurred. It looks great, with the focus and clarity on the front one. Loveee it.

Beautiful! I love the distinction between the nice sharp lily in the foreground and the blurred ones behind it.

Thank you! I love how they turned out looking like brush strokes.

MuseSusan In reply to Leap [2007-07-05 20:48:33 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's what interesting effects you can get from something as simple as a blurred background. It looks like a real lily against a painted background of the same.

Thanks. I nearly didn't do the frame. Now I see why it was required.

Dziabobu In reply to Leap [2007-07-03 20:01:07 +0000 UTC]

You know, I had time, when I added the same frame to EVERY photo in my gallery. It's the worst, now I think the frame shouldn't appear in majority of them.
But in you photo... I've told.

Leap In reply to Dziabobu [2007-07-04 02:08:43 +0000 UTC]

The same here! I have an action made in CS2 to make this exact frame in a keystroke. It was part of my "finish up and save" process. I thought I'd never figure out the right time to use it.. hehe
