new york - plant life Pink Blossoms

If you really inists to join the big tribe of flower-photographers you should know their first rule: whenever possible focus on one flower, do not show to many at a time which translates for other photographers to "always find your main subject".

I neither insist nor wish to join with any group of photographers with 'their' rules. I present my own view of the world here. I hope that you can find yours as well without worrying about 'them' looking over your shoulder. To each his own...even in photography.

The flower in the middle should have more impact on the framing. I would have moved in a little closer to that group of two or three flowers and left out the branch above it. It also looks a bit overexposed, but it may be the way it looks on the PC.

Whilst the subject matter I find most attractive, as presented here I think the photo is a little busy, Wayne. I might have done one of two alternatives:

 

* shot from farther back, with a deeper field depth

 

* moved in closer and, macro-style, focused on just one of the blossoms.

 

Should your camera allow control over white balance, try pre-measuring on a piece of white paper. This well permit detail in the brighter colours and negate flaring. My regards.
