Yellow #1

[Ed Vatza]

Sounds like a food color. :eek:

Actually I went out yesterday morning and ran into a string of yellow wildflowers including Dandelion, Celandine, Downy Yellow Violet and this Buttercup. Obviously I was focused in on the stamens here.

Lovely study of the color yellow. Good looking, just wish you had gotten that petals closest to me in focus too, it's a bit distracting.
Can't wait to see the rest of the collection :)

Hey Ed, I think this is my fav of your latest flower posts. I like the choice of DOF and the BG works well.

Hi Ed - i would have to agree with Mike here. The selective focus works well and the exposure for yellow is spot on!!

Fabs, Mike, John,

Thank you all for your critiques. I have been working hard at trying to improve my skills, my compositions, my backgrounds, etc. As in all things, there is much to learn. Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. Much appreciated.
