Thank you Simon.
Thanks Jim, I do like very simplistic quite hyper real images, which I guess can come over as clinical, I sort of like the almost botanical illustration feel that it can give.
The lens used on this was a 100mm f2.8 macro & f25 gave front to back focus on the bottle & the whole flower, no problems with softening in the image.
As for the saturation in the yellow, I do find that some really bright flowers of a single colour can look too overblown in an image & in the original RAW file, the outer petals were the same colour as the centre, which they are not on the flower, so with the flowers next to the computer, I adjusted the colour saturation & balance to what I could see in the flower.
Hope that explains my thinking
Cheers Jake.
LOL - nice funny topical shot
Hope the Migraine improves soon
Bugger the Piemen
The George is one of my most favourite hostelrys in the UK Always used to go there after Burghley trials. Where are the pics of this fine place
Them pair are always Horse Playing lol! Great capture Sarah
spoiled by the person farting on the pies on the left.....
There may not have been perceived loss of sharpness due to diffraction but this site does suggest that shooting above f/16 should be avoided.

As always in life it's a balancing act and a trade off...
I like that and love that they are smiling for you!..... The sign is funny and I bet it works drawing people to their stall
...only to ask where they can now go to find Pies with Horse in them - as they now don't seem to taste as nice
Lovely and detailed with nice tones - find the OOF blossom a little distracting - mainly due to the brightness
Can I ask why the Flickr EXIF info is so "sparse" on your shots ?
Jim
Love the pie shot
The forks are brilliant with great DOF
But... the blossom takes the lead - absolutely gorgeous
I usually save for web before uploading & think that takes it out, but really have absolutely no idea
Like all 3 of your recent shots. The forks work well!
I really like this, the tones are lovely - but yes, apart from the lack of leafage it does look very autumnal.
Blue can get so boring
Was very foggy wasn't it!.... I wish spring was here! .... Great shot tho Sarah...
