Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Mitedo,
Wow! The power of D2x and 200mm micro lens!
I'm sure you're happy with your new camera body and showing ton of colourful and tack sharp photos.

Kevin

Havn't you got anything better to do with your time than make us all salivate :wink: :lol:

#1 & #2 are the only ones that don't grab me. Too much OOF. I think you've also been a little overzealous in the sharpening too.

#3 is superb. Great DOF, lovely colours and I like the composition

#4 - my favourite. A great example of the difference the background colour can work. The pastelly pink/peach really sets off the white of the daisy? excpetionally well

#6 - I really like the dreamy softness this has without the appearance of being OOF if that makes sense.


You really have the makings of a great series with these and your other recent floral escapades.
Peter

Once again spectacular work Kevin. Vibrant colours, terrific balance and composition and razor sharp. Tremendous series that set a quality standard for us to follow. If I had to choose #9 really does it for me. Superb!
cheers

Great shots. IF I had to choose, I would pick 4 & 6 as my favs. You have given us something to work towards.

I think the DOF is fine, lovely bokeh from that lens anyway! Fantastic colours, good post processing work. :)

Nikkor 200mm micro is hard to get now! I have a backorder of three since July, but still no sign, and the 85/1.4 price is not good atm due to no stock.
