Photo of the Day - May 2009

[spitfirejd]

Just getting started with a digital SLR. Here is my first post. Criticism encouraged.

Not too much to criticize here other than your whites could be whiter. Nice composition and DOF.

Please C&C

f/5.6, ISO 320, 1/125

It helps with shots like this one if a single flower is tack sharp, at least at its critical point of interest (usually the stamen), and the other is quite out of focus. That way the out-of-focus flower echoes the sharp one without competing with it. In this shot, nothing is critically sharp, both flowers are uniformly blurry, and the two compete with each other for attention.

I'm afraid my eye went straight to the decapitated riders, rather than the horses...

"Headless dressage" - c'mon, surely you've heard of that?

Apple Blossom- first attempt with a DSLR.

 

[Artful Dodger]

otter can I ask, is there a piece of black backing behind the (lady)bug of sorts? Not sure it's a ladybug or in that family either, sorry.
Great picture, like the colors and the helpful subject for the composition

When I say this photo I thought Postman Pat! And chuckled when I read what you had written! I love your work, so keep it up!

Ams.
