THE PEACOCK

Is it a Milkweed ? or is it a Peacock??

Another fine example of technique, and attention to framing and DOF. This is a great shot Bert. This would be my pick of the three. The filament details and clarity is excellent. I really like the contrasting brown of the seeds themselves.

 

Bravo!! my friend.

Great detail and DOF. Nice, tight, composition.

This is a great picture Bert.Except sharpness and colour,I would concentrate in composition and above all,originality.My congs for your concept and final result.

David, Claude and Pho for your very positive comments. Much of the credit must go to my Nikon 105mm Micro lens...it's a beaut... Bert

Magnificent image and superb capture. I like the dark framing very much especially as a significant part if the image is light colored. For a moment I pondered about the dark space at the bottom of the image but in the end I still like it. 6/6 Congrats.

 

PS Effective title

WOW!! Bert, I thought your other milkweed image was very good. but this capture is superlative. Well done. Regards-Ross

I really like this one too! And you're right - it really does remind me of a peacock! Very cool title! I love all these! Man it's hard to get focus on these babies isnt't it? The slightest little breeze..... you done good Sir!

Tony, Ross and Jan...them's kind words...thanks... Bert

Love these three shots, you obviously caught this as it was bursting, well done.

This is my favorite, very nice.

Bert, I like this one the best as well. The other ones are good but the composition and angle of this shot draws me to this one. The rich colors contrast nicely as do the tones of light and dark.

An excellent composition in all respects Bert. Well done and best regards, Neville H.

Lovely work.

Fantastic close-up, like it, perfect details, congrats!

I do like this image a lot! It's so unique and well textured! It makes me want to touch the screen. Refreshing!
