Thanks Jen, Þorsteinn and crayon. I agree about the crop. Oh well.My eye is still visioning a larger frame from the fuji...I am not used to the narrowness of the Nikon frame.
Thanks for the critique, Lynn. A note about the leaves....they were placed there to cover the hot spots from the lighting on the vase. I do see what your are saying about their placement. Thx.
Greetings from the Critique Club, well wow the new camera is working for you i would say!
This is a truly lovely image, the lighting the colors, even the vase is tasteful and a warm addtion to this shot.
Really what can I say? You should use it to advertise some flower shop or something. Or consider becoming a floral arranger? My only slight criticism of this shot would be the 2 drooping leaves in the front I would like it better if they were standing still or not there.
these flowers are beautiful! I really liked the soft lighting and the exposure used here. A better crop may land this photo much higher, in my opinion. Congrats on the top 10 placement!
This is gorgeous! The colors are stunning, the detail in the leaves, petals and vase are crystal clear. I love the slightly off center layout and the subtle lighting. This is exactly like they should be executed. Good show!
An excellent example of a still life. Great job with the lighting/subject/etc. Only suggestion I would have is I'd think a little more negative space on top would balance it out a little more.
wonderful colours against a great black backdrop...your lighting is superb and this shot is for framing, well done, hope you do really well with this shot
