    Grahame, nice use of fractilus and the colors really grab the viewers attention. I would have removed the strands in the bottom left and the single in the top right but thats just my taste. Good work

    You achieved a nice colorful effect, and I like the flow of the group of blooms. However, it seems a bit top-heavy and unsteady with most of the color in the upper part of the image, so I'd be inclined to flip it vertically.

    Hi Grahame, good to see you posting here again and do hope you post some more. Good suggestions above, I love the colors of this one. So, you are teasing with your comment about a homemade tilt/shift. If you don't want to reveal your secret that's ok but I'm very curious...

    The answer is no and yes I was trawling through surples shed and saw a link to johnney optics had a look and ordered a lens for fun I got a 85 mm 2.8 Bronica with a piece of innertube attaching it to a mounting plate cost ( $150 us) I have only taken that one picture but it has possibilities as a arty lens I suppose it is a cross between a tilt and lens baby Will have a real play soon.
    Love your quote so true

    This looks like neon sign flowers! I like the colors and how they pop out of the black bg. Good suggestions above. Glad you posted, looking forward to more.
