Fantastic color contrast.

I've tried to take this myself, but it never works out as good as this

Very nice color and saturation. might benifit from just a touch more unsharp mask. Could also be set off-center. Regardless, I like it. Good job.

great color and focus
07/19/2002 05:09:00 AM
Flower occupies only small part of the image.
07/18/2002 11:18:00 PM
I like the subject....I do a lot of botanicals myself. I like the out of focus background. The bit of blue flower showing in the upper left is distracting. It could have been cropped out. Ohhh also too centered.
07/18/2002 08:10:00 AM
good depth of field use; nice color; details good
07/18/2002 02:44:00 AM
Neat flower! I haven't seen this one before. It's cool that the pedals are spiked upward towards the left corner and most of the green pedals follow.
07/17/2002 10:42:00 PM
great color but the background look a little blurry
07/17/2002 06:01:00 PM
agh. soon it'll all be that way
07/17/2002 12:34:00 PM
nice study of this flower. I might have eliminated the blue of the top flower, but that is a matter of taste. And perhaps if I saw the whole thing I'd go with the crop you have chosen.

GOOD COLOUR, HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN IN DIFFERENT ANGLE.
07/17/2002 10:52:00 AM
wow. nice colours. vibrant. the depth of field is good too.
07/17/2002 09:54:00 AM
Need to get closer. Fill more of the frame.
07/17/2002 03:13:00 AM
try to isolate the flower better using a smaller f-stop next time. :)
07/16/2002 11:33:00 PM
Background Too bright
07/16/2002 10:09:00 PM
nice macro ....could be closer
07/16/2002 09:21:00 PM
nice detail
07/16/2002 08:05:00 PM
Pity you didn't crop out the out of focus flower on top of the picture.
07/16/2002 07:07:00 PM
Like this picture; tend to make pics such as these myself. Think though it would have been a little stronger if you had cropped out the blue flower in the background.

Here's another example of where I think that the 'rule of thirds' would improve the overall image :) = 6 - jmsetzler

framing is a bit off, but I like the colors and nice focus in the forground. 7
07/16/2002 03:24:00 PM
so am i.
does it smell nice? or was it cloudy?
07/16/2002 02:00:00 AM
lovely contrast between blue and green
07/16/2002 01:39:00 AM
Good shot... I might have tried zooming in a bit more though
07/15/2002 08:39:00 PM
Nice shot. The detail of the flower w/ blurred background is perfect.
07/15/2002 03:46:00 PM
Pretty blue. Focus is a bit soft. Kee
07/15/2002 02:40:00 PM
Lovely shot. I really like these flowers (forget the name), from a straight on view, they resemble blue fireworks, plus that view is "flatter" so less need for a broader depth of field. Pretty good depth of field, petals pointing at us are a bit out of focus. 8 Swash
07/15/2002 10:56:00 AM
a little to much green
07/15/2002 05:32:00 AM
Good choice.
07/15/2002 02:26:00 AM
wild looking plant & correct use of the macro lens.
07/15/2002 01:15:00 AM
I had tried to take a photo of an identical plant. My color did not turn out a nice as this. Nice shot.
