    Re: looking for spring

    1. I would like the subject to be more bold.

    2. I love the color but the crop is too tight. perhaps a higher angle would be nice.

    3. I like it. likes like good stock art where you can place some text in the upper portion.

    4. subject is not strong enough.

    thanks for sharing

    Re: looking for spring

    im not saying that they are good.

    BUT...

    please do not mark me for representing spring. i wasnt trying to do so.


    imagine a person in crowd, not in a foreground. people in foreground are not sharp, only that one person taken from crowd.

    and now change peoples with flowers.

    and im not saying i did it fine, but i was trying to represent spring. and other photos are just by the way

    Yaqpbl; well done on trying something different from the usual run of the mill, beautiful but often boring flower shots we constantly get churned out.

    You have made a good effort on the third shot and it's abstract nature appeals to me.

    In your first shot the colours are really compatible and attractive. Yoy wisely threw the (uninteresting) background out of focus bur sadly at the expense of the flower itself, more of which I feel needs that extra bit of focus.

    Stay with it.

    Re: looking for spring

    the tones in 1 are awesome , a bit more dof would had been nice, compositionss wise , this can be a bit more to the center, only slightly
    #2 way to tight , either get closer, show us more detail of the center of the flower, or go wider and let us see the whole thing, and also way to saturated
    #3 is that intentional ?
    #4 to me it looks more pleasant when the focuss iss on the bigger closer object, vs the smallest farther away

    Re: looking for spring

    #3 it was. i liked the colours, but simple pictures was not intersting, so i tried to get only colours. i wasnt sure what i would get. i made few pictures like this one, but this one is better then other.

    #4 made few with focus on closer flowers - but they are boring, and any way not good quality


    and yet im not using any reprocesing. have no time to lern it, and i want to learn first just making photos. so im not going to fix saturation.


    my last post error because of my poor english:
    and im not saying i did it fine, but i wasN'T trying to represent spring. and other photos are just by the way
