Spring hits, Pollen fly

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.

Spring hits, Pollen fly

Postby Yi-P on Mon Sep 25, 2006 12:26 pm

Spring is all over the place, and all the plants/flowers are spreading their pollens around.


This time playing with the reversed lens: Amazingly cheap and sharp setup, you can even see the pollen on the petals (those little white/black dots).

This was a hard one to get a spot-on exposure

Number 2 is my pick. Shows the intricate details of the flower and its different colours nicely, though I appreciate that it must've been hard to get the right focus/exposure on the white flower!

Pollen is my enemy (I'm allergic)!

Tim, I know what you mean, I'm sitting at home today on the asthma puffer trying to ward off the effects of hayfever on the bronchial tubes! Drat it!

Thanks Yi-P for the pollen shots.

Nice shots

You have here three very nice shots, all of them very good in detail, colours, and sharpness. Perhaps the second picture is a bit more in focus. You should be very happy with yourself Yi-P.

Sorry, Im no expert in flowers or botanical stuffs, so I have absolutely no clue what is the name of this one. Its just a very small flower (about 2cm wide) with 5 petals, yellow in the centre and colours around it....

Maybe somebody else can help you out on this. :roll:
