Flower macros

[BrentC]

Flowers are something I am still not comfortable photographing. Still can't seem to get composition or camera settings right but I keep trying.

You might be just a tad too hard on yourself. 4 & 5 are my favorites.

The more I look at it, the more I like #4. That really is an awesome image. Was that cropped at all?

I'd print that one!

I do tend to be too critical sometimes. But when I look at your work, oldhippy and others I know I still have a lot to learn. Composition in general is my weakness.

Only cropped so far as to centre it. Basically full frame.

Brent,
Thank you. I too feel like I have more to learn. BUT, I think that's a good thing. We should always strive to get better at what we love to do. It is a challenge to continue to learn and grow. I also believe that as we compose more, we can't help but improve. I read someplace once that there is an average number of images you have to take before you start to get better. As I remember it, you need about 10,000 before you even start to get close. Hang in there and give yourself some credit.
