The isolated tulip stamen

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Nice colours and DOF willy, but the vertical 'blotch' to the right of the stamen is kind of distracting. I do like the isolation you've achieved though, what lens and aperture did you use for it?

I very rarely say this, but...sometimes you can get too close! I think this shot is too close. Perhaps you love the technical challange? But I think the tulip is such a beautiful bloom I want to see it all! :D :D

Thanks Matt

I guess this one was a bit of a technical challenge - especially working at narrow DOF, manual focus, hand held with a breeze :shock: , but I also have plenty of full tulip blooms.

This one is probably my pick from the day

Steve

I like both of these for very different reason. It's a shame I didn't get to hook up with you while I was down in Canberra at the weekend, but it looks like you had fun at Floriade anyway. I hope there'll be more of these shots to come

I like the first but see it more as abstract art than pure photographic image. Second one is classically pretty - very nice capture.

Really nice work Willy.
