tree 0 Posted April 20, 2003 This is an excellent shot. Increased depth-of-field would be a plus, but isn't essential since I think the slight blur is also pleasing. Link to comment
alireza_monajemi 0 Posted May 2, 2003 This is a beautiful shot,but in my opinion it would have been much more so, had you used a fisheye lens. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted May 8, 2003 I think what sets this photo aside from other flower macros is how it blends from the edges (painting-like) into the sharpness of a photograph - more depth of field would destroy that special feeling - very nicely balanced! Link to comment
vlad po... 1 Posted May 21, 2003 I agree with previous comment, very nice play with DOF. This shot is much better, than many other flowers on photo.net which collected higher ratings. Link to comment
james_dickson 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Really like this image as it stands. I do wander what it would have looked like with more DOF. But, I doo like the soft effect. Link to comment
mg 0 Posted May 23, 2003 The only problem to me is the color. I'd either trick the colors, either try converting it to B&W. I find the composition and depth of field wonderful and well worth the effort - though the subject isn't very new, but that doesn't matter. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted May 23, 2003 I agree with Vlad's points about this image. Though the subject has been done to death, you've taken a really unique perspective on the matter and done something very striking. I'm not sure I'm on board with Marc's point about the color because I think the color adds to the unique quality of the image. What also gets me is the progressive softening of the focus as you move out from the center of the image. For someone new to photography, you're sure showing a lot of talent in a range of subjects. Just wish I had the kind of ability in one area that you seem to be showing in several. Great work. Link to comment
sean_driver 0 Posted June 19, 2003 Beautiful Bridget. A really nice shot, The softness of focus suits the colours and the subject beautifully. The picture is more about the feeling than the actual subject hence the shallow DOF works really well Link to comment
