Dear pixels Friends,

I am still working on composition at the Macro level, understanding that any learning could potentially help my other photography skills.

Your comments are welcome, particularly the one that points out to weakness or sources of improvements. Hopefully, I will get this better and better over time.

Here is one of my last shots. This is a Dictamnus purpureus. A rather rare species that is worth it's place in any garden.

Thanks again

I really like this shot and love the muted palette. Backgrounds are so important in Macro work. My only nit on this shot is the 30% of the background on the left. The colour change is jarring to my eye. I'd likely crop it out if it were my shot. Hope that helps - Marko

I think marko summed it up pretty much. Loooove the colors!

I agree with Marko also, maybe even blur the 2 stems that have those tiny bits in focus, so that only the main stem is in focus, I find the other bits that are in focus a distraction. Beauitful colours and focus on that main stem though. love it!

I agree with Chantelle that the "other" in focus bits are distracting.
It is still a nice image, and I especially like the colour and the sharp focus.

Thanks all of you. Really helpfull. I'd have to learn to do selective blurring though...

Will do, in time. For now, will try to get it mostly right in the Camera

Thanks again.
