Bougainvillea

[Alberto Oria]

I started posting two weeks ago in the eager to learn forum, and this is my first post in this one. I like this picture. This one is from Pinecrest Gardens, Miami and was taken K10d, ISO 400, 1/60, f 8, metering multi-segment, sigma 70 macro, tripod.
All comments are welcome and very appreciated

I like it a lot Alberto Very strong and complementing colors along with a fine composition. Would only wish for a slight separation between the bottom flowers. I like the selected aperture, gives you enough dof but allows a good soft bg !!! Looking forward to many more !!!!

Hey Alberto, nice first post, I like the position of the three flowers and the BG as a nice soft color combo. Well done.

Love your choice of DOF. That burgandy in the back looks so rich against the light colored buds. Beautiful!

[John Cooper]

Very sweet composition Alberto and like your DOF treatment here.

Nice soft light and nice details and shallow DOF. BG is nice and clean.

The image looks very dark, I assume there are whites in the flowers but with the image they are no where near white. Take a look at the monitor strip at the bottom of the page.
