Re: Flower high key bokeh
Flowers look good here in the frozen north!
My eye goes right up the branch to the brighter of the two flowers - the OOF one on the right. Maybe a square crop removing the one on the right???

Re: Flower high key bokeh
Vey nice crisp and sharp. I agree that a crop might be in order.
Re: Flower high key bokeh
I like the dynamics of the image--the way the dark unfocussed background tails off from the flower. Very artistic.
Re: Flower high key bokeh
Very good dof. I think the right side is probably not necessary. I crop it in my browser and the flower alone is enough to keep this without all the right side. very nice colours
Re: Flower high key bokeh
Thanks OldClicker, Arne, Liban and Don
I'll try a crop tonight
and glad it looks artistic to you Don
Really appreciate you took the time to leave your comments!
Re: Flower high key bokeh
I agree on the crop suggestion. The blown bg is nearly blinding, but the flower is exceptional. If your crop removes enough of the bg, I think the subject will better stand out. Nice focus on this!
Re: Flower high key bokeh
Wonderful definition and gorgeous shot! Flowers are always so photogenic. There's zero noise in this! Pristine.

Thanks Bryan and ScapeGrace
I tried a few crops and was not convinced , so i'm not posting a new version at this time
A crop would not remove the blow background as it is right next to the flower, may try to lower the brightnes on that area
hmm ....
Re: Flower high key bokeh
OK shot, good composition and flower color, but I am not sure that the flower's color mixes well with the earth tones and the green. It has decent 'bokeh' (blur), but still think that the background interferes a bit. Maybe a little more DOF on the flower. And where's a bee when you need one? :)

The bees were gone for the day ... :)
