Shot in a small bush using ambient light at evening. Was lit by the

setting sun's rays. Cropped. No other changes done

I would like to see just a little more light on the leaves of the plant. I like the composition with a lot of black space. And the leaves are really well placed as they make the corner and with the curve they creates, brings you back into the image.

Stephane, for your comments and suggestions.

I agree with Stephane, but I think there is perhaps a bit too much black, esp. in the larger view.

Is this a better crop ?

I feel very lucky that I was present during the shooting time. But I do not think the cropped image is better. The larger Black portion makes the image a real attractive. So please do not crop it. Thank u again for shooting this type of images.

does nothing for me, especially with the M.D. at the end of your name. are you expecting oohs and aahs because you are a doctor?

...that the "MD" did hurt you ! On top of that ,the name is in uppercase letters , right ! How audacious !

 

It is not necessary, but I will explain. When I registered, I did not know that my name will appear like this ! It seems that I can't change it now ! I, myself don,t like the name in uppercase !

 

No, I did not expect "ooh" and "aah" because I am an MD. I participate here because I have a passion, I want to learn and this is a great place to learn, from comments and pictures done by others! Unfotunately, you dont seem to be one of them !

 

This is a photography forum and I expect comments on that line... not a personal attack for no reason. If you have a problem, please do not visit my page or look at my pictures - I will be grateful.

 

Have a nice day !

I love this crop. Please don't touch it !!! The sharpness is fantastic. Well done !!

Absolutely beautiful

Thank you very much for your encouragement

I do like this shot as it is, not necessary cropping. I'm going to justify this. For me, natural light is a main key on 99% of my shots. In the sense of creativity, natural light (or directional studio light where available) gives more chances to add compositional elements (as light itself). And in your shot what works greatly is just light direction (left-right decreasing diagonal) and that justifies the left dark room (even more room would be nicer). Thus, I only may suggest two slight details for improving this image. First, reducing the white frame (1 or 2 pixels would be enough for framing). Second, enhancing the main subject (flower and FG leaves) isolating it from BG leaves behind the flower (underexposing a bit). Best regards :)

Great snaps swapan, I like it without the crop. You've got some great snaps here. Thanks for taking the time to look at my snap & I have definitely rated more than 1 snap.. but the count does not seem to increase for some reason.
