This is with my new Macro lens the Tamron sp90 its a cracking lens hope this comes out as well as it looks on my screen. All comments are more than welcome {thats the only way to improve}

I really like the color in the background. An all black background is so cliche'! Did you grow the lilly?

sawdust · 25-05-2007, 17:35

Yes in mt Tescos garden

yep i agree i do like the background, and the lily is lovely, but perhaps just a tad too much background?

The shot comes out very well indeed, nice colour and detail... the Tamron's a lens I'm looking at myself

An extremely attractive picture. Well composed and exposed, so you have caught the texture in the petals. I agree with Fi, perhaps just a little too much background, but not much. Well done!

Exposure is spot on, with fab colour + detail in the flower

I like the BG, except I can see a vertical fold in the velvet, just to the right of the flower, which I find a bit distracting.

Composition is not your best sawdust, perhaps a slant would make it more appealing, + get the chopped-off leaf in view, + generally balance the compo better within the frame.

HTH.

Intersting and unexpected composition - like it.
Yeah, the backdrop you used is visable - the question is: should it be more visable or less visable? Not sure it matters which way - but this in between with the obvious fold is a bit bothersome.

Thanks all this is what I need . to address some points ther amount of background was choice as it fits with the other ones ie flower bottom left lots of background a kind of minimalist !!! but yes I do have some more traditional style, the fold in the background well can't see that on this monitor except in the blue one were I managed to clone that out . all in all a good response thank you, It always helps me to get some advise from the ons I respect the most {yes you lott}

I agree.

A bit less bg on right

Different angle on the stem, more diagonal

Also, I wonder: did you use fill flash. The shadows on the petals could be even softer.

But still, a wonderful shot.
