Amy777 + I love the vivid colours, and the gradient from red to pink to orange (peeking through in the background) is very pleasing. - I wish that the two tulips (center and bottom right) hadn't been cut off I posted this a while back but didn't get any feed back -
Showtime + Interesting concept/adstract photo. - The box repitition is very distracting and the sky has the feel of being placed there; like it's not a part of the photo.
Wolfsgamergirl + Beautiful picture, great composition and use of the thirds both with the tree and the wat on the bottom. - Increase the contrast just slightly would make it just that much more striking. Mine for today, I took this one a couple of years ago when every time I wanted to go on a hike, I headed out, hit an impassable hazard, took a picture of it, and turned around and went home. This was one of those hazards.
Amy777 + I really like how you caught the waterfall in motion. Really pulls the eye though from top to bottom. - The green grass in the upper left corner takes away a bit from the black and white of the water and rocks.
wolfesgamergirl + I'm a killer for pastel colours, and that was the first impression I got from your photo. - There are a few distractions which we see too little of for it to seem part of the photo; the small pier, the reeds on the left, and the buildings on the far right are just too cut off. I think your crop may have been too severe. Here's mine for today: (I took it when visiting a ghost town, known for its diamond trade, near the coast of Namibia)
Gaelen + I like the contrast between the orange walls and the white bath but, the simplicity, the almost sadness that is revealed of an abandoned piece of everyday life. I like it. - the wall looks slightly skewed. Mine for today.
Amy777 + the light hitting the tops of the petals is beautiful, makes the colour pop - the one tulip off the the right (in the midground?) is a bit distracting. if you could have positioned so that only the background tulips showed it would have showcased the front center tulip better heres one of a baby possum at a rescue clinic i volunteer at practising her climbing skills:
allmaple + The Possum looking directly at the camera helps to bring the focus to the subject. - Perhaps try cropping a bit closer as after a while the eye tends to wander to the rest of the photo and forgets about the subject. Here's mine...took a tip form Amy and was photographing the Tulips in the side garden of the house.
Wolfsgamergirl + I like that picture. beautiful colors, interesting point of view, taking us into the flower not what we normally see. Good job. - The 'stem' in the middle is what your camera is focusing on, if you backed up just a little and pointed you camera over to one side you might be able to get more of the flower slightly sharper, but it is really a good picture. mine for today. One of the few flowers that were actually blooming at the Tulip Festival this year. All the late snow caused some problems.
Amy777 + The coloring works very well, and the lightness of the flower flows well with the green of the leaves. - Some of the flower are cut off at the side edges. Perhaps a different crop might keep that from happening. And some of the petels start to blur out near the back. Another random photo for today.
Wolfesgamergirl + I like the concept. Cutting off the plate works well and your eye slides around the photo easily - Spoon and fork are both cut off and watch the focus - none of its completely crisp but the water (?) drops on the plate are more clear than the utensils. Another abstract - the side pannels of a bus.
The silverware was never ment to be in focus, that was the point of that photo. Showtime + Interesting abstract photo. - It's a bit too busy, between the lines and blots of the bus and the scratches the eye doesn't know where to look or focus. And another Tulip, just giving Amy a bit of help.
Wolfsgamergirl + Beautiful colors, I like that the center of the flower is off center, it really makes this picture more special. - Watch that focus, all the flower looks slightly blurry to me, it could be the resolution. But really nice composition. Mine for today. Thanks for the help Wolfgamergirl, I love the tulip pictures you are getting, keep them coming.
Wolfesgamergirl + As Amy said, good composition - The subject is obvious but being out of focus the picture is rather flat. Amy777 + Love this. The composition is spot on and the detail and bokeh are perfect. - I suppose the crop is a little tight, but it hardly takes away from the picture. Lovely. I got a new SLR about a week back and took it to the zoo. My favourite from that day:
Showtime + Fantastic picture, I like how the bird is off centre and the bright colours of the bird are really eye catching. Well done. - Maybe a little closer cropping of the bird, as the background can be a little distracting. Here's mine: A little self criticism, it looks a little blurry when viewed large.
