Challenge:Something New II (Advanced Editing II) Camera:Nikon D100 Location: Prescott Park, Portsmouth, NH Date: May 4, 2004 Aperture: f/10 ISO: 400 Shutter: 1/350 Galleries:Floral Date Uploaded: May 6, 2004
The tulips are pretty, and the fence makes a nice background, but the detail gets lost in the number of flowers and the distance you're working from I think coming in close and getting four or five flowers in closeup detail would make a better shot.
The tulips bending in the breeze on a spring day is great. The fence makes a great background. The size of this image hurts it for voters. This is such a pretty picture it begs to be bigger on the screen. You are allowed to have images up to 640 pixels on a side and you should always try to use all of it if you can.
This is a pretty garden but this image is too small to appreciate the shot. I'm not sure it would be significantly better at a larger size. The colors are rather drab and washed out. The tulips aren't really massed enough to warrent filling the frame with so many. Picking a single flower and finding a position that would show the light penetrating the translucent petals is one way to show flowers at their best in a photograph.I would classify this as a rather pedestrian snapshot.I gave it a four.
