Beautiful shot! I love the way the petals stand out against the blue background! I dunno why really, but I LOVE this picture! <3

Vamaena In reply to Miss-Mae [2008-12-22 13:36:01 +0000 UTC]

Thank-you so much! This was actually more of an experimental shot since it was the first time I shot only a section of the flower instead of the entire thing. I'm quite proud with how it came out.

I really like the vivid colors in this. My only issue is that I think I'd like to see more of the petals in focus...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Vamaena In reply to chilipalmer [2008-12-07 07:20:50 +0000 UTC]

I wish more of them were focused too. I'll have to get more flowers to try and get a better shot at some point.

chilipalmer In reply to Vamaena [2008-12-07 07:23:48 +0000 UTC]

Smaller aperture (Larger f stop/number) should do the trick.

Emerald-Depths [2008-12-07 06:37:38 +0000 UTC]

I like how it looks blurred at the top, but as it gets to the bottom, the petals become more sharp and clear. And the color is so vibrant!

Very pretty. ^_^

Vamaena In reply to Emerald-Depths [2008-12-07 06:51:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank-you. ^-^

The top blur wasn't my initial goal I was trying to get the entire thing but quickly learned that a macro lens has a very little depth of field.

I do love the colors too.

Beautiful saturation! Although because of the lack of a real focal point it becomes almost abstract.

Thank-you so much! That's sort of what I was trying to go for.

Love the delicate balance of the shot, the color scheme is simple and really helps to make this such a powerful image.

I do wish just a little more of the tips were focused, not the whole thing, but just a little more for some extra details and a clearer separation between foreground and background.

Vamaena In reply to Echo-Velocity [2008-11-16 05:43:13 +0000 UTC]

Thank-you so much for your kind words!

Yeah, I was unhappy at first with the focus but the range was so small so I settled on this. Thank-you so much for your critic, it's nice to hear some advice.
