There are some fantastic shots on here, well impressed.

Tried to something a little different today from behind the flower, not sure if it works.

The second shot is awesome Chris, nicely done. I want the first to have the petals in focus rather than the stem.

 

[Cg_Girl]

Oh my that second shot is just wonderful.. would make an awesome wall hanger!.... the first one works for me, i like shooting backward flowers ( i don't mean dumb ones)... prob not to everyones taste but it works for me

 

[Derek Rixon]

2nd shot is absolutely stunning......

Nice Cairn. Very cute indeed! Nice shots Susie.

We'll spotted, most people ask what she is...

 

[minnnt]

A very black Westie perhaps?

 

[Derek Rixon]

Defo a cairn with attitude...

 

[Scottish Mike]

I came across this in the garden the other day. They're really tiny; the heads are just smaller than a pea, and they're not really my taste, but up close they look really cool.

Nice one Mike. My wife tells me it is Saxifraga x urbium, common name London Pride.

 

[susiejb]

I was trying to work out what that one was...so thanks for that Nick... nice pic Mike

[susiejb]

Hi Bryn...I like that effect, it gives really nice golden glow.

I just had to have a go at the black background....I was a bit rushed but was quite pleased with this one.

 

[Tintin124]

I like it Susie, maybe for another go bring the head around a little towards you... but you have done amazingly well with the light here. Your onto something very good here.

 

[Tintin124]

In between the rain tonight.

[susiejb]

Thanks Bryn .... I love the raindrops on that one.

I will definitely have another go, but I will get myself a bit better organised next time.

 

[Jordon Brooker]

Took these today on a walk with the Mrs' she got a few nice shots on her little compact...

[minnnt]

Very nice Derek, feel it needs an injection of 'white' in lightroom though to bring out the rose a bit and make it pop a little more. Composition is brill.

 

[susiejb]

Hi Derek...I like that one ...very nice...it makes mine look far too bright ....I must have another go sometime. Maybe yours needs a tiny bit more light, but not too much.

 

[Derek Rixon]

View attachment 13744 Hi Susie,
Yes I think you are right, it looks different on ipad and computer and tv screen hard to tell but I will try a bit more light
