Fir Tree

Whilst out today with Jago I had the 100mm Macro on the 5D MkII. Not the best thing to try and do macro photography whilst walking a Clumber. "What's that you are looking at" as you try to photograph a flower which he promptly stands on. "That looks edible" as he licks the fungi I am trying to capture.

At least I got one that I quite liked.

Re: Fir Tree

That's a great shot Steve.

The colours work really well together and the dof you've gone for has made it all the more interesting.

It has an almost celestial look to it.

Re: Fir Tree

It's a lovely shot Steve

I'd get rid of that blue border tho, the subtle grey one alone would work much better.

I can kind of see where Azz is coming from about the border although the blue does echo the centre of the flower.

I never really take people's borders into account when I'm commenting on a photograph. Borders can be added or removed and it's the shot that counts. I see the border as part of the presentation rather than part of the image itself

To me it's like being shown a view from a window and then looking at the curtains.

PS

Mounts and frames are obviously very important when producing something 'real' to sell or hang on your wall. I was talking about images on forums.

Re: Fir Tree

Nice work Steve, nice colours and a nice image. Can imagine it as a set hanging somewhere or some sort of graphic. Little undecided about the frame, colours compliment each other but maybe if it was within a frame would work a little better.
