Originally posted by Mike.P® Sorry, when I said I don't do flowers I meant that I dont put a lot of effort into them when I do take one.
I have tried a lot harder with these than usual, I much prefer to do bugs when shooting macro.
Can I ask what makes number 3 not as good as the others, it's just that everyone that sees them picks this one as last choice yet it is actually my favourite.
Thanks.
#3 just didn't jump out at me like the others did. I'm not one to be overly critical. I base whther I like a pic or not by the initial reaction.
#1 was "Nice!"
#2 was "That's really good!"
#4 was "Wow! PPG material for sure."
#3 was "Nice shot..." It didn't jump out but it's still pretty good. It just gets trumped by the others. If I were to do anything to that shot, I'd trim the dead space up top. Maybe a tighter crop and
slightly more DOF would work for me. I'm not really into bug shots, but the butterfly shot is pretty cool. The shallow DOF works for that shot. If I were to rank them, it would be 4-2-1-5-3-6. Then again, someone else would rank them differently. With the variety in these shots there's something there for everyone.
