herkenham 0 Posted May 26, 2001 I find close shots of flowers very appealing. This one appears to me to be in pretty sharp focus, and parallel to the film plane, which is a good angle for this case. The colors are fantastic. But I think this photo would be much more dramatic if you put something jet black behind the flower and its stem, big enough to cover the whole frame, and far enough back so that the background (whatever you use to get black) was out of focus. Also, using a reflector to throw some light into the dark shadow on the top petals would be an improvement in my opinion. This is a nice flower, and a good photo. Quote Link to comment
joe_decker1 0 Posted May 27, 2001 The background is somewhat distracting, the leaves on the right get a little lost. Quote Link to comment
