Hi,

#1 Tiny Plant Tiny Ant


#2 My Avatar (Looks like middle finger pointing? hahaha)


#3 Purple Exposure


#4 Purple Cavity


#5 Leading Blades (posted in World of Nature subforum before)

Hi nice_user,

You are being nice. =) Thanks.

Thanks for the comments. I like #1 too due to the colors and that tiny ant. Without that ant, I think the picture falls apart..any other inputs on this?

Anyway, for #3, I have another piece exactly identical but sharper at the stamen.

nice use of DOF series...very abstract...

[nice_user]

heh im not being nice..
im just frank abt wat i see and comment on wat i like..
without the ant.. the pic will still be a good one.. why?
becos the dof is just right ('correct' focus on the interesting parts of an otherwise insignificant flower)

Very nice! Like #1 and #5. Quite unique.

#1 Like the DOF, the way the stem of the plant fades into the background. Background also It will still be okay without the ant, the ant just makes it more interesting though.
#2 Too abstract for a simple man like me to understand Like the way the colours blend into each other.
#3 And what are you exposing.... Once again, nice blending of colours in the background.
#4 I like the 5 strips of slightly different colour leading into the hole. Yeah, its a natural thing, but its nice. Like only the anthers in the midle being focused also.
#5 Gives me a sense of motion. Not the toilet kind.

I love #2. You said '#2 My Avatar (Looks like middle finger pointing? hahaha)'
I saw it as a hand from above reaching down to offer me help..
what the hell have I been smoking
But seriously, very nice series !!

thanks for your comments.

#3 hmmmz.thats not me exposing though.
#4 I really regret not staying there for longer on this plant. From my viewfinder, I thought I got the center anters sharp throughout only to find it not 100% sharp.
#5 I wanted to protray it as mysterious. didnt know that it can give you the runs. hehehe.

Waoh Bro. Nice thoughts and title. Maybe I should name it "Helping hand" instead instead of middle finger hehe or my avatar.

Thanks for your kind comments. =)

Thanks a lot, Bro sumball.

Yeah, thinking of getting nicer abstract of plants to hang up next time in own house. Dreaming of it only..hehe. But own picture is sure unique =)
