really liking this 55m lens... might actually even try another aperture (instead of 2.8) setting eventually

C&C most welcome..... looking to improve!

Nice set

really like the first one, i like the angle, colour and the DOF on that

Also quite like no 6 although it is not quite there, i think the idea is great but it does not look quite right if you get my drift

Thanks!

Number 6 is actually one of favourites, but agree that its not quite right. Maybe its the angle of the fence running out of the picture, not into the picture.

2.8 is an excellent aperture

Like birdy961 the only one I'm not sure about is #6-bit too much background and not enough flower for my taste

Otherwise a very nice set.

Will give that one another go... I really like the colours and potential of the lines, but as you are saying (and birdy) theres something not quite right. Will try a few different things when I have some good light next.

Cheers

I like #1 too, almost like looking over the edge into the lava pit!

Next attempt

a little better angle on the fence, but a little less light...

better?

birdy961 · 26 Jun 2009

Thats better graham

Really nice shots of decent flowers! #1 does it for me all the way, excellent frame and DOF

success

I must admit the fence angle changes the entire picture. The only thing that I prefer on the first one, is the darker (more black) background.
