Sculpture Garden part 2 - the garden

[SquarePeg37 8]

I enjoyed the garden just as much, if not more than, the sculptures.

Bumping this because it was posted late Sunday night and would like some feedback on these as I might use a few of them for our town's annual art walk (#1 and #6).

I think I actually like the mushrooms best.

I like 1 and 6. On #6, I might try recovering the highlights,just a tiny bit, to see if it strengthens it. Overall though,lovely photos with loads of bokeh as a design element. The sheer oddness of #3 is also, to me, intriguing. I like its offbeat nature.

I think I'll also go with the 'shrooms as my favorite photograph. But, for prints, I think #3 and #6 would be great decorator pieces. Especially #6 - wouldn't that look great on a yellow wall.

Thanks all for your comments and opinions, much appreciated!

While I love the mushroom photo, there's nothing different or special about it for me - The lighting is kind of gray and the front mushroom cap being not sharp is annoying. I shot that without lining up the focus through the viewfinder and sort of got lucky that the others were sharp. The ground was too wet to lay out and I couldn't get a good angle with the flippy screen without a ton of glare.

#2 is a bit too similar to something I used last year

#3 is too bright/saturdated - I may try to re-edit

#5 I'm probably going to print the b&w version I posted in a separate thread

I think I'm sticking with my original instincts on these with #1 and #6 for possibles for the art walk. I've really got to narrow that down and order some prints asap. I'll be posting a thread on that later tonight I'm sure!

I like 3 because them things are to photograph well. They're all well done but 3 is super

I really like these:

#1
A touch more contrast. Darken/manually burn the light center area a touch, then hit all the light blossums with the dodge tool set on highlights.

#2
Pretty much the same thing. Burn in the OOF. Slight burn in the In Focus then hit the In Focus with the dodge tool set on highlights.

#3
Darken everything. Hit the blossom with the dodge tool set on highlights. Tighten everything up, take some off the top, off the right and maybe some off the left.

#4
Slightly darken the tops of the ‘srooms then a touch of dodge (highlights).

#5 & #6
B&W, high contrast B&W.
