Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2005 7:58 pmVery vibrant colours. 
Are you shooting these indoors against a backdrop or something?
Dunno if its just the lighting, but the 'internal' stalks seem a bit out of focus?

Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2005 9:25 pmVery nice, like the frame work too. Grow them yourself 
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2005 10:53 pmNice colours and framing oneputt. If it was the kit lens then perhaps you were inside the minimum close focus distance because the petals are a little soft on my screen.
It would be interesting to have the twin flowers offset or change perspective a little so that one sits back from the other and experiment with variable focussing or selective focussing. Just to see what visual effect it might present.

Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2005 8:26 amThat's a stunning image John. If I was to offer any sort of critique, it would be to widen the crop a little bit as they seem a little crowded horizontally. I'm sure, however, you've made your decision based on what you had in front of you.
Well done.
Well done.
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2005 9:06 amSimon I'll own up that all I was trying to do was see what I could do with the kit lens. It is not cropped at all, and I gave very little thought to the composition

What a hoot. Always gratifying that something can perform tasks adequately which seem to push the envelope of anticipated expectation.
If you do have a means of getting closer I think there could be some additional great games to play with the negative space between the blooms and the network of lines therein.
