Brown Eyed Susan

Any comments welcome. Just starting out with photography.

 

Thanks,

I think this is a fairly pleasant picture with a nice composition but I don't like those yellow lines at all.

Agree with Harvey about the yellow lines. Its a good picture (strong colour for the subject, good use of depth of field - nice composition). Since you say your starting out it seems a bit mean for me to say much about how many flower pictures we see on here and how they look the same...

Thanks James for the feedback...lots of flowres I agree.....I checked your site out...if you have seen one naked person...you have seen them all.

 

Thanks,

I'm trying to like the border. I'm not a flower person. As a whole it works. Normally I would not have stopped for this.

Interesting frame. Without it you would have needed to crop some of the top, but with it you get away with the flower head in the middle.

Hey Keith. Interesting that someone who says he is just starting out with photography can also post "You don't have to be talented to photograph naked people...." if you're just starting out how do you know what takes talent and what doesn't ?

Also at the very least your statement "if you have seen one naked person...you have seen them all. " conveys a serious lack of understanding of biology (the minimum would be 2 people), and suggests you don't have the level of observation normally found in photographers. Just for the record in the last two weeks I have photographed some children, a wedding, some flowers, a still life, racing cars, and Concorde, and tomorrow I will photographing a person without her clothes. That is by far the most difficult. The flowers are the easiest, they don't move and you have plenty of time. Aircraft, cars, Weddings and Children require you to choose your moment. Only the "studio" work actually requires you to make something happen.
