#2 & #3 is

for the sharpness.

I prefer the composition of #2.

tltan · 15th August 2006

apt title for the shots. And nice shots. For #1, its difficult to compose. So is that a bee or a fly released? =)

Nicely done, CM

#2 is nice...very nice.

wordlife_ · 15th August 2006

No 2 is the best. The sharpness is good. All of them very nice.

sumball · 16th August 2006

Hi all,

Thanks.

tan, I think it is kinda housefly. Do you think I should PS it away? My focus was to shoot this beautiful Peacock Flower at the beautiful garden.

hi CM,

Dont need loh. Otherwise you need to change title "release" as well. Just take it again. =)

Very nice series! The pictures are very sharp and crisp! Like it very much.

The fly should be there to link with the caption.

sumball · 17th August 2006

Thanks tan and CY.

hehe, the caption can be changed as I shot first then captioned it.

Anyhow, I will just leave it as it is.

Good day

airforce1 · 17th August 2006

sumball · 17th August 2006

Thanks Adbul.

I am not master. You should know where to look for the real Masters.

Thanks anyway.

Cheers!

Thanks for sharing

sumball · 19th August 2006

Thanks Steve.

jbma · 19th August 2006

I like the crisp and sharp feel of the pics

moby · 19th August 2006

Fantastic sharpness. May i know what lens and what settings you using to take these?

sumball · 20th August 2006

Thanks bro jbma.

Hi Moby,
Was using a Sigma 180mm macro lens. Cant really remember the settings but it was taken ubder the bright sunlight hence aperture and speed wise is well managed.

Thanks.
CM

Mr Sumball,

Leave the fly alone

#1 nice idea, but not sure about the fly, i think it's too much oof for me
#2 i feel the subject is too much to the left ... the bud's presence is affected by the dark water background as well, shifting your position to get the leaves into the background might give it more form
#3 the sightly blown highlights distracts a little ... seems difficult to compose from this angle for this flower?
