Your DOF was a bit shallow towards the mouth this apears to be a touch OOF. This is a wonderfull image with a lot of personality. Good contrast , nice colors and a nearflawless composition. Wonderfully done!

This looks like it was just a slight bit overworked with Neat Image. Not by much just a fraction to smooth. This is still a wonderfull image with a great background and nice lighting. Nicely done

The Flowers and the Butterfly
by Jaimeson

Comment:
Good detail on the butterfly. But the highlight of this shot is definatley the large soft bed of yellow flowers. The butterfly seems to have a bit of soft focus. I think your DOF may have been just a few fractions off. But this would not realy be noticalble unless printing larger than 8X10. Nicely done.

Very cool I just love the fact that the bee is heavily coated in pollen. Just a wonderfull shot. To boost this one a bit more I think I would like a closer crop. The bee is just so spectacular I just want to see more of it. But sometimes the megapixels just don't alow for a closer crop. Very nice shot. Great job!

Great color and composition. With two very interesting and colorfull subjects. As for improving tis image I think I would burn the background a bit. this is a vwery busy shot, and I think a little burning would help pop the subject out a little bit better.

Very well done. I just love the fact that you cauhgt this little guy eating. I do however think I would clone out the OOF water droplets that are around the catipillar. They seem to draw the eyes away from the realy nice center of interest.

Ok I am forced to ask.. What the heck is going on? What is the message scribed acroos the topless torso.. They appear to be in public what is the meaning of this independence? Nice shot but I leaves the veiwer wanting to know the rest of the story.

I would have to clssify this a side lighting. The shadow near the base of the flower and the slight shadow from the thorns givwe away the direction the light is coming from. However another classification of lighting could be ambeint lighting. Ambeint lighting would appear to have no direction and would evenly light the entire subject. This type of lighting is commonly used in shooting jewelry and other shiney objects. Ambeint lighting is very usefull fur reducing glare on reflective surfaces. But it does tend to give a bit of a flat two dimintional feel to the photo. Very pretty shot.

Yes this would be spot lighting. It draws the veiwer straight to the subject. It also gives you more of a personal feeling than other lighting. Only the lighted subject is available. This is probably one of the most emotional forms of lighting. Very nice example.
