1 – square frame will be much better IMO, and why didnt U delete this black/brown spots from the flower :-) ?
2 – same story with frame, i’ve got a light shadow on my screen around the flower, is this a natural bokeh ?
3 – the best for me, and after “animal” a little to tight, and maybe give some more colour :-)
I like 1 but its a little to tight at the bottom, 2 is nice but to much space at the top and 3 is a little to tight but their all nice shots other then the framing :)
theres something about 2 that keeps drawing me back, it really seems to stand out or something. I cant put my finger on it :)
Hi Mark.
#1 IMO would look a lot better if rotated into portrait view, but that would just be my personal taste.
#2 The lighting is harsh & the highlights look a bit blown, try it on an overcast day for more evenly lit shots. Otherwise a nice shot.
#3 I like this, but it may be cropped a bit too much. Using a smaller aperture would also have brought more of the flower in focus.
Good attempts. Keep it up. :wink:
