Wooden Flowers

Thanks for your feedback.

Great colors and texture!

I like the photo, colours are lovely, but I'm not sure about the cut on the left-hand side. Great picture overall.

Beautiful color contrasting! I love this!

beautifull light and colors

Ken,

 

I also like the colors here. I agree with another poster regarding the framing of the shot - I don't think I like the crop on the left side. Just seems to throw everything off balance, but maybe that's what you intended. Also, as soon as I saw this, my first impression was that it was a digital capture. It looks somewhat oversharpened to me, and for my tastes, could use less contrast. But that's more of a personal preference.

Eye popping composition. Colors are fantastic. Sometimes in the field, you get what you can get. Sometimes circumstamces prevents perfect framing. If you didn't do the crop in PS, then you did a great job. If you did crop in PS, then maybe you can correct left side as mentioned. Either way, this is a winner.

Pretty, simple shot. Great DOF here! Well seen and planned.

Very nice colors, overcast lighting, PS blurred effect, and shallow DOF (was it PS blur, or what lens did you use?) Compositionally, I agree with Howard. May be experimentwith a tighter crop to improve composition (less "cropped out feeling" on the white flowers.) Just an option. ^_^

This is one of the first pix I posted on PN. Someone suggested a different crop so I tried it on this shot. The photo was digitally captured. I did a gaussian blur on the original background and sharpened and exposed the new crop to my taste and what I've been able to learn from this website. Anyone have a suggestion for a different crop from the original?

Nice job on the blur, Ken. It's not artificial looking as one can easily over do it. I'd say I prefer your original capture (especially if you trim off the right a little) over your repost. However you cut it, the color and detail are so exquisite that it makes the image works regardless.

Flawlwss composition and colors.

Very colorfull image. Pnina

This is wonderful, the detail and color are excellent.

excellent, Ken. Doesn't get any better than this.

Beautiful colors and excellent comp.!

Such nice commentary from skilled and talented photogs. Thank you and thanks for contributing to improving my photographic skills!

Flower as in most cases are not a very original selection and no expression is presented, but this photo at first glance presents perfect quality and colors

I enjoyed looking at both versions...It is certainly nice to improve a photo with cropping, but you have to do a good job capturing the image in the 1st place and you have done that...

No matter how you slice it, this is great subject matter. 7/7
