Any thoughts...

I guess you are experimenting with DOF lately. This is my favorite among your 3 latest image. I like the "swing' composition & the selective sharpness caused by the DOF.

Very very nice!

I really like your composition. Focus and light is lovely. Dof and background

is great. I really like the dark rectangle center framed by the lighter, brings out your subject well. I really like this Dave.

I like the DOF and the composition. I kinda wish the shadow on the large flower and the white spot immediately behind the flower were not there. Nice detail on this fuzzy flower.

 

I wonder how that white halo got there. Its really quite intriguing.

Just as a matter of curiosity, I was following the forum posts of a friend, and saw this interesting bit about compression with the D200 Not that I know anything about Nikons. :)

LOVE the pov and angle, dof and clarity are also excellent Congrats :)

Thanks to all that have taken the time to comment.

Maggie and Andrea, the background is an opening in a lattice fence behind the flowers. I'd like it a little more to the viewers right.

The bright area is caused by the grain of the cedar on that slat, it's closed and facing up, light is being reflected off of the closed grain.

Maggie, the halo you make reference too is a background flower behind the dominant foreground flower.

I'm having trouble getting a handle on what kelvin to post my photos. I have one device with WinXP and another with Vista. Also, the white point is set a little different between the two.

Here's a version adjusted on Vista, thoughts?

Corrected in Vista

Just beautiful; you made an interesting photo of a simple plant!

(thanks for your comment Dave.)

Hi Dave. I like the first version best. The vista version has this yellowish hue that I think is a bit to over powering. For myself what I see on my monitor , the first is lovely.

Thanks Andrea, I really appreciate your return and the view between the two versions. This has really helped.

I like the original best also. Not fond of the yellowish hue either, despite all your work.
