nice composition. here's some things to keep in mind. a viewer sees this and one of the first things they are going to notice is the shallow dof. they will react immediately to this, either liking it or hating it. now if you have a deep dof, most people won't have anything to quibble over. so, if you are going to go with a short dof, you must have a reason, and for the image to work, that reason must be apparent. that means making apparent what it was you were trying to emphasize by making it stand out. was it the textures? the tonality? you've got to have something that overcomes the "why is part of it blurry?"
the next thing to consider is lighting. why did you light it the way you did? what were you trying to achieve? what features, tones, textures were you trying to bring out to make the image more than just another picture of a flower?
remember, you can do whatever you want; the key to success, though, is having a reason for what you are doing, and then to be able to execute that purpose with complete control. as long as you know you are in control, and why you are doing what you are doing, it will come through in your finished effort.
keep it up, max! |
