    What a magnificent animal. Photo has a lot going for it - tack sharp and exposure seems right on. I think you may have been better off to shoot this one in horizontal format to avoid the lion's nose almost intersecting with the right margin of the image - just a matter of taste but I think a little more space in front of the lion's face would have made the photo even stronger. Thanks for posting the picture so we can all enjoy it - makes me want to make another trip soon to the Bronx Zoo!

    Very well executed - tack sharp thoroughout and exposure dead-on. The smaller closed bud in the left background provides a nice counter balance. The fact that the lightest portion of the photo is clearly in the center of the main flower really makes the flower pop out against the background and anchors the eye where it belongs.

    Excellent image - shows a great deal of thought in setting up the elements in the photo and a high level of skill in capturing the image. This type of still life photography is far from easy but you appear to have mastered the art very well. Thanks for sharing - very enjoyable!

    Very nice - captures a beautiful moment as well as showcasing the little girl's dress and hair ribbon. I'm sure the bride, groom and family are going to really cherish this for years to come. Only slight problem is that the detail in the lower portion of the dress looks washed out but that may just be my monitor.

    Just after entering my first comment I took note of your title for this picture and realised that I said nothing at all about the invitations in the photo. These look ok except that the writing is so small I can not actually read most of the words - maybe a more tightly composed frame - perhaps a vertical with just a portion of the bouquet along the left hand margin would have focused attention more on the invitations. Sorry I missed your original intent here.

    Always good to capture these detail shots at a wedding - I'm not a big fan of the sepia look for bouquet photos as the flower colors are such a big part of their appeal - but that's just a matter of taste. A couple of things detract somewhat from the image. The candle and glass chimney behind the bouquet add to a somewhat cluttered backgound and getting it out of there may have helped. The other issue is the very bright window or doorway in the background - as the brightest point in the photo it tends to draw the eye. Not sure what you could have done here except to vary your shooting angle a bit to keep the window out of the frame. Hope these comments are helpful as they are meant only to be constructive.

    Nicely captured spontaneous moment with the bride and groom's joy very evident. Having the smiling bridesmaids in the background adds a nice touch - did you capture them by accident or by design?
  1. Caught this shot standing on the beach in North Myrtle Beach last

    summer. It's cropped quite a bit as my 210mm max focal length wasn't

    really long enough but I don't find the noise too bad considering.

    Nice photo - I really like these architectural detail shots (especially old windows like this) - the only (minor) unfortuate thing is the wire traversing the top of the frame - maybe cropping it out would help??

    Nice image - one suggestion - try cropping the right hand side to about mid way on the second column from the right. This would eliminate the sliver of sky and trees currently seen.

    This is one of the very best flower photos I have seen yet on PN. The subdued background really sets off the tulips. The detail and lighting are just perfect.
