African Violets

My wife's pride and joy. She asked me to take a couple of closeups. How'd I do?

I think they look great! I love the focus on the blooms and the background blur.

Thank you very much.

I like very much the composition of the top right photo (the pale blue photos).
I also like the "flowers disappearing into the background" shot.
The composition of the other two doesn't do much for me though...
Also I think the focus needs to be tightened just a bit - macros need to be crystal clear!
Great use of depth-of-field to focus attention on the flowers.

Great framing and color on these. The only thing I would recommend is to sharpen up the initial focus as the foreground is still a bit soft. You may want to try a few with varying depths of field also. It could add another dimension to these.

Yeah, I know. It's one of the things I'm trying to work on... Focus on macro/enlarger shots is a whole new ball game to learn. Still plugging away, though.
