Its really only a petal or two at the side that looked not great - if I'd taken that off and shot differently it would have looked better. I was so focused on the lighting that I didn't pay enough attention to the subject!
Critique welcome on any of my shots - happy to learn from mistakes I make along the way.

Yes it would - both distance and angle of reflector could have been better - it was just propped against the TV!Would it have been possible to bring the reflector a little closer to the rose, as personally I'd like to see a little more fill but otherwise a nice image
I like the focus on focus. Nice composition!
Whoops didn't notice the next page :bang: love that and I like the focus on the focus
Thanks all.Loving that focus.... nice simple but effective shot
Not my floor - I was out a dance event and realised I'd not got round to doing my photo - knew I'd be there dancing til 1am so it was a case of hmm - what is there here? Its really low light - so spotted these coloured lights. So funny as the OH was saying 'can we dance now?' and I'm editing and uploading to my website then getting the link for here lol...Actually that's very pretty - your floors are far cleaner than mine
All part of the 365 challenge, sometimes the shot isn't always to your requirements, but you still take a photo of the day whatever, colourful and nice lighting
Awwww very pretty!!
Thanks guys. Some days will be just quick grabs but at least I shot something. Really appreciate the encouragement. Now home, time to sit down with a cuppa and check out the other threads!Not bad for the iPhone. You live to fight another day. Hurrah!

It was literally a few mins - take, edit and upload. Except I upload to my website, then link to here and then also to Flickr and Facebook and of course I wanted to get them all done so I could just get on with dancing.That's hilarious - I can just imagine your poor husband standing there while you do your thing! I think you did really well considering the circumstances and found a creative addition to your 365 collection - and to sit and edit & upload as well? You are more dedicated (and handier with an iPhone) than I am A 'quick grab' is a great reminder of a day as well and I think we'll all be doing some of that this year.
beautiful Gerberas .... great work on both of them
Gorgeous, I like them both.
Nice contrast between the two
Thanks.Some wonderful shots there. The dof spot on with the college books, nice shot of the party lights with some great colours, and a really nice crisp shot of the flowers
Yes the first was slower shutter speed, wide open and ISO 4000 so not as sharp.I much prefer the second shot - makes the colour of the flower pop and it also looks a little sharper.
The flowers were mainly as a subject for my experiment - I think I'll try a teddy next time. The point was to shoot in exactly the same ambient light - one using ambient light and the second blacking it out with aperture and using flash for the subject.Love the college book and the party lights. I find all flowers a bit blah to be honest and rarely shoot them myself so not a very good judge but the colours are bright and they work compositionally
Thanks. I originally took it just to show the ambient light but I quite liked it too!Loving the top flower Lynn
Yours is nicer though and its real!How ironic that we've both posted bright pink flowers for today, I've got to say I like your approach to the image subject
