    Re: Neon Flora

    Great idea and pretty good exposure.

    I sort of wish you had stepped back just enough to get the entire fronds in the image but that isn't a real big deal.

    I'd crop the red image from the top to kill that blank space.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Not bad, Ptax. I also think the crops are too tight but they can work as they are. If you are up to the task I suggest removing the cable line across the second image.
    Do you have any others that are not so tightly framed? I'm thinking there must have been other distractions you were trying to avoid.
    Good exposure.

    I agree that you need a wider view. The chopped fronds don't alllow the eye to travel.
    The exposure is great, though,
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: Neon Flora

    Thanks for the positive remarks. :-) I agree with all the remarks about the cropped fronds (I think that is the first time I have ever typed "fronds"). The problem, as Gary suggested, was that there were surrounding items I did not want in the pic- power pole, building and other signage.
