Hi Pierre,

thank you very much for your 7 and your comment. Coming from you it's a real recognition.

Happy New Year.

Benoit.

Thank You Maurizio.

Benoit

I propose you a series of 8 photos, with a happy end, without any injury,

don't wory. I have to present this series to a media.

These are the first 4. I'm asking you to tell me which ones of these 4 are

interesting from your point of view, before seeing the last 4, which will be

presented later on. Thanks a lot for your contribution.

Thanks Mike.

In your opinion my friend, what would be the result if I use F/2.8 instead of f/8 regarding diffraction (the lens is a Canon 50mm f1.4) ?

Thanks for time spend and your comments. I was questioning myself with the "good" size of the open space. Your answers are very important to help me decide for the series of more than 200 photos.

Benoit.

Hi Michael,

thanks for your comment. It was exactly my "questioning". Most of this kind of photos present the whole figure. I wanted to catch other advice to make up my mind with external point of view. Thanks again.

Benoit.

Patrick, thanks for your answer. I can't answer directly to your question. The fact is : photo is an art and Art hasn't any Truth. If you want to create an effect with your photo (important DOF), you have perfectly realize it. Never mind if we like or dislike. If you want to realize a photo for National Geographic, that means Reality must be reality with a single focus, then the only sharp thing that we have to see is the bird, not the flowers, the grass in the foreground.

I like your photo because the bird seems to be a little bit "painted" in an artificial environment because of the sharpness of the foreground and background and the lack of bokeh. And for me, it's the most important thing : I like it.

I leave the opportunity to more professional photographers than me to answer your question.

Best regards.

Benoit. 

Patsy, Jack, Thanks a lot for your nice comments.

Happy New Year.

Benoit

Hi Patrick,

I like the composition, the frame and the colors of your photo. It seems you made an important post-prod job regarding the texture of feathers and the sharpness with your parameters (focal 120 mm and f/8). Is it right ?

Best regards.

Benoit

Whaou Patrick. A great thank for your appraisal.

Best regards.

Benoit.

Hi Mike,

thanks for your nice comments my friend. As you said, it's already very interesting to see the difference of refraction between f/11 and f/8.

Best regards.
Benoit.

Hi Clayton,

I appreciate the geometric side of your photo. Because I never been there, I don't know if it's real colors or not.

I put my laptop in a vertical position and I discover a completely different photo, abstract one of course. Thanks to your photo, we can discover again how our brain "build" a specific vision of reality, and how the point of view of the photographer is so important.

Happy New Year.

Benoit.

Clayton, thank you very much for your nice comment. I'm completely agree with you regarding the large space to the left. This photo belongs to a series, that the only reason I don't crop this part. You will see the final result and I'll be happy to read your appraisal. Happy New Year.

Benoit.

Robert thank You very much for your comment. Happy New Year.

Benoit

Thank you Patsy. Happy New Year too.
