Sweet

Hi all, I am new here but not really new to photography. I have been

taking pictures all my life but have not really pursued it as a Business.

 

I would like your critique for this picture.

 

What I was trying to achieve is repetition and a bit of color splash.

 

Does the fact that the foreground flowers are blurred take away from the

composition?

 

A bit of history on this picture. Taken with a Nikon F2 using a UV filter

in bright sunlight. I am one of those photographers that never takes note

of ISO or Shutter Speed so I have no idea on that fact...LOL

 

I basically just set up and shoot, mixing it up as I go. I may need to

discipline myself more for the future.

 

Any helpful suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also I had a hard time

picking a category for this.....what would you classify this photo as?

 

Thanks

Diana

Well, Diana, I'm no expert in the aesthetics of photography; but, I like this very much. Yes, you've got repetition all through this; plus a good dose of abstractness to boot. I actually very much like the diagonal blurriness of the FG hanging plants too. My assessment -- A very cool photograph; and thanks for sharing! Cheers! Chris

Thanks Chris! I am having fun around here and getting lots of ideas. I like the challenges Photo.net have posted here. I plan on making it my New Years Resolution to take more photos and challenge my self more and this place is a great place to give me that kick in the pants.
