A Closer Look

A closer look at the multi coloured rose

Comments Welcome

Yes Paul, this is much better although it is obvious you sprinkled the flower with water; how do I know because I guilty of doing the same thing. I don't know but it seems the rain does a better job of it, at least for me it does.

What I try to do with my close ups (I don't shoot macro) is get all the petals within the picture plane in focus; I think this makes for a better presentation. But when you are shooting a flower bed or group of flowers it's difficult to isolate one flower without fuzzy, out of focus flowers in the background. Of course it can be done (I wont say how). Thanks for the comment on my portfolio.

This one is nice, I like the vantage point on this one. Another problem I have doing these is I spend more time with my nose in the rose than I do taking the photo.LOL. I am planting 6 new roses this year so hopefully soon I will have some new work to display. I think I will try some different films and lighting this time. Nice Work.
