A Flower

[Graelwyn]

And still not happy with it, grrr.
40D, day 2 using this camera, still testing the waters and learning the ropes of 100% manual shooting.

I like the angle of the flower. I think it looks cool, it has good dof.

Thanks. Just wish I had cropped that annoying yellow bit from the top...shall do that when it isn't almost 5am.

I think its a nice shot,the bohke looks very nice. I agree with the top cropping.

Very nice capture. I would try and tone down the highlights about 1/2 - 1 stop. As for the yellow bit at the top, don't crop it as that will upset the composition, rather clone it out.

Ok, shall try with the highlights. Not sure how to clone, am totally new to elements etc.

The flower is a little dark. I also wish you had not clipped the one petal at the top. You could mask it with a closer crop though. I played with it a little, hope you dont mind, not 100% happy with it but here. I think the b&w makes up for some of the lighting problems.

I agree with Toni. I like it.

I guess you could crop 10% off the left hand side and it might improve it some. <shrug> Just my opinion. I pretty much like the original as is. The stag petal should go tho - with the clone tool like is being said.


Nice image!
