April 2025 - Rusty Circle with Insect - How I Did It
About the Image(s)
The circle, the rust and the insect caught my attention. I used the Portrait mode to blur the background. Some minor tweaks in Snapseed, of course.

Sol, I liked how you framed the image in the Portrait Mode and setting the background out of focus. The Portrait Mode did the trick for me. Again, very nice work.
Best wishes as we are starting to change into more like Spring weather.

Portrait mode was a winner in making the background soft and keeping the main subject sharp. I think we often forget to use some of the special modes on our phone cameras. Well done. Posted: 04/08/2025 23:08:34
Ditto all the portrait mode comments.
The square frame around the circular subject, both of which stand out from the background is striking.
Did you intend to place the object a tiny bit off center? The fact that I noticed that only after a very long look is tribute to how compelling the image is. Posted: 04/10/2025 19:38:17

I'm also intrigued with character of rusty garden decorations. You did a good job of exhibiting this rusty insect against hint of garden green and floral colors for interesting photograph. Sometimes I enjoy editing as much as taking the photograph. Posted: 04/12/2025 16:51:36
This image is a good interpretation of the scene and captures the object very well. The portrait mode did a good job of isolating the subject from the background. Nice colors, good lighting, and a good crop, too. Nice shot.
