Ed, I like the colours. Might darken the open petals (the flower on the right) a wee bit. In two minds regarding the in-focus regions in the image. The large flower (due to its size tends to suggest that it the main subject) The stamen of the same flower looks sharp. However the smaller flower on the left looks pretty tack sharp which tends to pull my eye away from the large one. Eye's a bit restless while looking at both of them.
Just my thoughts... :)
Ed, I really like the colors in this image and your framing is pleasing. I like the sharp bud,but think the lg. flower needs to be alittle more in focus. But that's just my opinion
Hey Ed,
I tend to agree with the above comments but will add....maybe if the 3rd BG flower was more offset....so it was blurry....tack....blurry.....may have worked??? not sure just another thought.... as originally I too was leaning to FG one sharp.
In the face of these mounting allegations, I will defend myself! :p:D
First of all, the Bluet bud to the left is in the same plane and is sharp. However, I believe the large, open Bluet to the right is also in focus. the difference is the outside of the petal has texture while the inside is smooth. You can kinda see that in the partially open bud to the left, I think. That doesn't change the fact that if it doesn't work, it doesn't work but I have about 20 Bluet images and they all look almost exactly the same. So the "texture" defense may have some merit. The texture makes it look sharper than the smooth surface.
