Clover

A small wildly growing flower. Playing with Macro and realizing that

closer you are shorter the DOF. What do you think? Regards ifti

Ifti since you ask. I think you want the best of both worlds and for me it doesn't do it. Since you have a macro lens look at the center of your flower. There is a great image hidden,

Thanks Ton. I appreciate your advice. You are right I will close crop it. Thanks for giving me your time.

I am frustrated with both macros and should accept the fact of narow DOF. I will redirect my energy. Regards ifti

very good color and composition

Great macro - DOF works, nice colours.

Great shot - love the clarity, DOF, colors and composition. Congrats.

Fine shot Ifti, details, composition and colour is very nice. Rgds

well done !

Hi Mary, Dale, Tony, Necip and Jeffery Thanks for giving me your time to look at my post and your encouraging comments. Best regards ifti

Hello, a very Beautiful image indeed. I understand the reason for the slant now. Beautiful. Take care

The colors, their interplay and the composition are all beautiful.

Simple and yet so beautiful! Well done. Great DOF and perspective.

Great close-up with excellent tonality and great compo!

Best regards(Bobby).

My favourite of your current 'Flowers' portfolio.  I guess the pink Hibiscus would be the second.  I like the soft but directional light here which gives shape to the bloom yet doesn't conceal any of it in deep shadow.  The out of focus buds, lower left, hint at blooms yet to be and the neutral background doesn't compete for attention.  I think you have properly focused on the yellow part (anther?), emphasizing that part of the frame that the eye is naturally attracted to anyway because of the contrast of colour.  No need to hide this one in a dark drawer.  And don't abandon your macro lens.   Best, LM.
