1.in what area is critique to be sought?
I would like feedback on composition.
I have composed the picture to make the purple stalk stand out but I feel that the red leafs below are abit distracting. Tried to somewhat apply the rule of thirds but does not seems very successful.
EXIF :
1/100 secs
F/5.6
ISO 100
Attempted to create a bokeh effect with F/5.6 and would like comments on how it turned out. (I personally liked the top part of the picture with slight circular patterns start to appear, was thinking if more can be achieved if I had use a larger aperture and boosting ISO or slower speed)
Used the lowest ISO possible as I heard that this will yield the best colour and contrast ?
2.what one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
I wished to emphasized the differences of Purple flowers against a contrasting white&yellow background.
3.under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
I took this picture at 9am at the small garden outside Istana. Read that mornings and evenings provide the best natural lightings for taking photos and got this rare chance to take it.
The ample lighting also provided flexibility of using low ISO and high shutter speed ( cos not using tripod) and relatively small aperture to keep the whole flower stalk in focus.
Welcome all C&C
