Beauty of nature (5).

Very nice flower shot, Gaetan. The large version of the photo has much more clarity than the default medium size version. I feel that JPEG compression artifacts are now worse than ever on this site.

This photograph is let down by a few faults. The most significant is the distracting highlights in the background.

 

Depth of field is always problematic in macro photography but in this case DOF reaches from just beyond the centre of the flower to the far petals, which means your focussing was inaccurate, leading to blurred foreground anthers and petals.

I like the shadow play on the petals a lot.

Nice macro Gaetan.

J'aime bien cette simplicite et le ton des couleurs, nice shot! Gaetan

I like the lighting on the flower. I would like it a little sharper, but it's still very appealing.

and lighting is very appealing. Nice DOF and color also. Well done. Congrats!

Gaetan, I agree with you. This is a very good sample of Beauty of nature

Lovely colors and composition. I, too, really like the shadows on the flower. Gives it more interest. The DOF is very good.
