From the comments that I received in the proportion challenge I think a few people might not have realized what they were looking at. I thought I would share just what the palm tree that was in the vase actually looked like. This one was a lot of fun.
Thanks to all who gave me very nice comments on this challenge, it was much appreciated.
i did catch this during the challenge ... it just seems that the flowers and the palmtree are not the best choice for a shot like this ... it is not two things that one immediately recognizes as being of very different size (it could be relatively big flowers next to a relatively small palm leaf) ... i think it is very well done (the DOF is impressive), but it lacks the visual impact of for example the shot with the two sisters where one immediately recognizes what's going on:
i am sorry that you didn't find my comment during the challenge helpful ... i hope i made my self clearer now ... and if it is any comfort, i think most people did not really get my proprtions entry either ;-))
