    Hi Mark,

    An interesting set.

    I’m no expert but this is what I thought when I viewed them.

    #1 is my favourite.
    I get the feeling of a nice warm summer evening.
    The uncluttered background is good.
    Nice colour.

    I think the fact that the background is the same colour and texture as the main
    subject in #2 causes the subject to look a little lost.
    I find the in focus petals peeping in at the bottom a little distracting and I might
    have been inclined to leave them out or include more of them.
    The flower has lovely colour and a different background would have shown it off better.

    The lines and texture in #3 is very nice.
    I wonder if it might have been better if everything was in focus….just a thought.

    Anyway well done and thanks for posting.

    John.

    Hi John,

    thanks for the comments. I know exactly what you mean about the second. It looked different in my head to what I actually ended up with :)

    I agree with your comments about the 3rd shot too. I was in a situation where the leaf was moving in the wind so I had to sacrifice DOF for a a faster shutter speed to make at least some of it sharp.

    really like 1 and 3 …2 just doesnt stand out against the (very similar) background enough
