About the Image(s)

How I Did It:
With much more time being spent at home, due to the pandemic, I have been going through my catalog of photos. I discovered this image which I always liked but never received many comments on. I did present it to the camera club and didn't receive much feed-back other than if I like it keep it. Here it is, so, any further comments are welcome.


Processed in Photoshop Elements, Detail Extractor in NIK .

Hi Priscilla
Its lovely. It appears to be backlit so I can see the fine details of the green veins throughout the flower, which complements the background. The hint of pink in the lower part of image adds to the beauty of the flower. Its sharp and well composed. I think you should have it printed. Its a keeper for sure.   Posted: 11/13/2020 13:55:59

Hi Priscilla: A very well thought out composition with the large flower in the upper right, and then the smaller flower in the lower left area. Your window lighting created very soft delicate lighting which fits this subject very well. I assume the green background to the left is out of focus lawn, it fits the flower colors very well. Good sharpness on the flowers, everything works perfectly here. Agree with Barbara, you could make a nice print from this image. KUDOS   Posted: 11/25/2020 19:28:33



 
PRISCILLA,

FIRST OFF I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU ARE DOING HERE!
SHOOTING UP THE FLOWER,
MOST PEOPLE NEVER LOOK AT A FLOWER FROM UNDER IT, SO THIS WILL ALWAYS GET ONES ATTENTION AS SOMETHING THEY'RE NOT USE TO SEEING.
THE BACKLIGHT DOES WONDERS FOR YOUR SUBJECT. THE BLURED BACKGROUND IS PERFECT.

THE WHITE FLOWER AT THE BOTTOM HAS GREAT EXPOSURE FOR THE WHITES AND IS SHARP, WITH LOTS OF DETAIL.

NOW IF I TOOK THE LITTLE FLOWER OUT, I HAVE A NICE LINE LEADING TO WHAT I LIKE AS THE SUBJECT (THAT LITTLE GREEN LEAF), WITH THOSE LITTLE VEINS RUNNING THOUGH IT, IF THAT WAS SHARPER ITS A WALL HANGER.


NICELY DONE ANYWAY ,,I STILL LIKE AS IT IS, ( I'M JUST SAYING)   Posted: 11/25/2020 19:40:48
