Lovely capture, Charissa! Your focus on the front petals with a slight fall-off is great. My only suggestion would be to add a bit more canvas around the flower. It feels a bit tight in the frame. Nicely done! Posted: 03/11/2025 14:30:39
This is lovely. It is so sharp!!!! I love the colors! Posted: 03/25/2025 18:35:32
Charissa - this is amazing just as it is. Your color capture is perfect, as is the detail in the entire flower. The added vignette on the corners adds a lot too. But the main reason I love this one is that the greenery appears to be in the far background, making this like a 3-D capture of the flower. I am pretty sure that my Olympus could have not done this well up that close. Terrific photo!!! Posted: 03/25/2025 19:59:13
Your image is amazing. Did you stack the photo to get this clarity throughout the flower? Lovely. Posted: 03/26/2025 22:04:01
