    aren’t they?

    Little detail of a flower in my cousin’s garden in Dunshaughlin yesterday evening- I’m told its a PomPom Dahlia

    Edit : thanks ciaran, you were right, I had omitted the sharpening on this one- fixed that now-
    its only a little sketch anyway, a massive crop-

    Sorry Josef.. this one isn’t for me. It seems soft all over with no one part at all in focus :?:

    If a shot is soft because of camera shake and/or subject movement in combination with a slow shutter speed, no amount of post processing sharpening is going to make it “sharp”.

    A good tutorial/explanation of sharpness can be found here: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/sharpness.htm

    one reason the picture is soft is because of the degree of magnification. Its only a sketch, as I have mentioned, what interested me was the geometry. The picture I posted is a detail of this one, which is pretty boring

    Unfortunately this is as close as I can go at the moment. Further enlargement means throwing out pixels. and a little local contrast does no harm –

    I really really like the second shot jb7 – very nice composition. The first i think would look great portrait. ??

    I like the way they look like a crowd of little mouths- esp. on the left of the first one-
    I think I’d lose that in portrait-

    thanx Ali-

    Very “Coral like ” in appearance.I like the second shot,the crop is grainy and a bit blurred alright.One thing I’ve learned
    is macro and wind do not go together :wink:

    Thanks Noely, looking back now, don’t know how I even got this one.
    Late evening, windy, hand held, 200mm actual, !SO 100, f7.1, 1/15th.
    if it wasn’t for the little bit of light I wouldn’t have bothered at all.
    and if it wasn’t for the VR I wouldn’t have got anything.

    usually, when I think of expensive glass, I’m not thinking conservatory-
