More experimenting [ not dogs ;o) ]

Horrible weather today, rainy and grey, so I had a go with the dull skies setting on for these shots to see how it affected the targets.

Also I was trying to consider perspective, depth, shadow, balance, [ trying to avoid just centering targets ], one focused on a different part of a flower for a change, [ instead of the usual main flower head type shot ], some of unopened buds as the main focus with a fully opened flower in the background instead, some partial coloured edits, and a few other texture/depth shots

Lots of help needed please, I would love to get a really good shot before the flowers hibernate again so I only have the Summer to get a good one

Thanks for looking

Some good shots their Patch!

Re tips, I suggest you go through all of the threads listed in the sticky in this section: http://www.yophotographer.com/page.php?t=54

And do the 'how tos' and post your results in those threads

Your shots are getting better Patch! Lovely detail & coloring
Thank you for sharing them - keep posting! Look forward to your photos...

#5 is excellent with the use of the open bud oof in the rear to give context to the main focus

Numbers 2 and 7 for me - I just like them!

Patch, these are good, you have sharp shots of good but natural colour, including the rain or were you clever and sprinkled them to adds interest. Down side, think a little more thought into the composition would improve them still further.

Composition is subjective so if you are happy with your work thats fine, but if you think you were perhaps concentrating on the one item in the shot and not on the entire image then perhaps this is a side of taking and presenting your work you would wish to look at.

They really are amazingly clear even on my rubbish screen.
