Hi Sandy,
Nice work! This shot and your backlit morning glory are my favorites.

As an avid gardener, I am inspired by nature. I marvel at the infinite diversity nature offers
those who take the time to see.

Lovely composition with very nice placement of the focal plane.
I will look forward to more. Kind Regards, Gary

I find the subject interesting, and I like the apparent mid air suspension of the tree frog (on glass I assume. This would be a very interesting photo if not for the background. Try it with a very quiet background. Play with it in photoshop to see what will work. Greens and Blues are what I would try first.
Kind Regards,

Hi Tom, Very nice photo. great pattern and color. The depth of focus appears remarkable for this magnification. In the larger image and enlarged in photoshop there appear to be noticable sharpening artifacts around the pistols. Is this a result of the cameras image processing, or is this from post processing?
Kind Regards,
Gary

hi Pnina,
I see my comment was a bit wordy and with the typo hard to understand. I corrected the typo.
More simply, I thought this lovely image lends itself to printing on synthetic silk so that it could be displayed with movement. A print on silk 1 meter x 1.5 meters would be fun to play with in this manner. Let me know if you give it a try. Would you be interested in a barter for a print of this image?
Kind Regards, Gary

Hi again Pnina,
I just remembered that I printed a beatiful "low res" shot of a woman curled up in a linen sheet with lovely flowing folds. I printed it 5' by 3' on poly silk. The artist wanted the print on cloth so that the art took on the flowing feel of the image. The textile products available for printing do not give crisp detail, but I think this would be consistent with the feel of your image. It would be remarkable to view this with flowing motion. Not to mention fun to play with the set up of the parameters for display.
Kind Regards, Gary

Hi Pnina, I love the mood of this photo, the light the flowing cloth and the models expression. Lovely composition. I am also of the opinion that the border detracts from the simple elegance of the composition, but I also realize that my opinion is in the minority on the net. Never the less, I find this series very captivating.
Kind Regards, Gary

Hi Mark,
I like the soft nose. I think the selective depth and focus add a lot to the character of this photo. It greatly simplifies the image.
The cute factor is in the eyes the softness of the rest of the photo enhance this. Nice shot. The demand for sharpness throughout the field of interest is a very common and arbitrary demand.
Kind Regards,
Gary

Hi Mark, I understand your attempt at a contrary asthetic, it does not change my opinion that this is a weakly executed photo. A good Idea does not necessarily make a good photo. I do like the other photos in your folder and I will reflect that in my ratings. We all have far more failures than strong photos. Yor may have noticed my specialization in botanicals, which is what I tend to gravitate to and rate. Unfortunately you forgot to express your opinion as to why you thought my photo was so bad. Since your rating was identical to my rating of this photo, and outside the range of other ratings I can only assume I was struck by a revenge barb. Ah well human nature... touchee! Perhaps I deserved it. Nature is read in tooth and nail. A rather perfect play on words, I believe by Lord Tennyson.

Constructive comments welcome.

I find a bright overcast best for using water drops like funhouse mirrors. Comments and
suggestions about conditions for using drops welcome.

Hi Pam, This is a nicely composed rose, nice color and shadow. I find this the best composition on your page. Unfortunately the subject and composition is highly trafficed, and there have been some excellent rose shots on photo.net. You will need a unique twist to get very high ratings with this subject. Keep at it.
Kind Regards Gary

Hi David, I like the effect. A tough subject for macro work. You have some flexibility here with the background to play with the placement. It may work better with the arranged florets toward a corner with the sharpest element aligned on diagonal. If you so inclined, play with it an let me know what you come up with. Kind Regards, Gary

Very delicate, I like it. The grazing focus works. Kind Regards, Gary

Hi Stacey, Colorful, but too much going on for a coherent composition and the asymetry and lack of focus in the beard (attention draw) are disturbing. I know the attraction to make something work, many of these irises have great color and detail. I have worked with this junction from this perspective and crop-I havnt found a good solution yet. Keep on trying-you might solve the puzzle. Kind Regards, Gary

Hi Stacey. very nice shot. The slight tilt to the left seems to make me want to place the central subject along the diagonal.
Try a couple of crops to see if you like this. It means cropping into the shadow, but this is a secondary detail. Kind Regards, Gary
