Cool flowers in flowers - zinnias? These are great aren't they. I like how they change at different stages of their lives. Good angle and perspective and of course, gorgeous pink!
I remember when I discovered the focal plane. For me it was a personal discovery, since I have no formal training in photography. It's so important, yet nobody talks about it--yours are the first comments I've seen. I'm impressed! Since I capture flowers outdoors, I usually can't move the flower, I have to position the camera. I know from experience that very small changes in the camera angle & position can have a very noticeable effect on the shot.
Beautiful colors and texture. This holds my gaze right at the focal point, and I find that I want to stay there to explore the tiny world you've captured.
Great colors! I love the narrow focus. I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet.
It has to do with the angle you hold your camera at relative to the flower; the plane of focus is always parallel to the lens surface, and at macro distances major changes in location of the plane of sharpness can be effected by altering the angle at which you hold your camera. Some cropping will be needed if you want to maintain same POV and alter the angle.
