Don't ask me to help with naming. If you notice my gallery, the names are simply to the point. I will say you have done a good job with the flowers. You have made them stand out well from the background. You should be proud of these photos.

Two things to consider: 1. If you were to enter a contest in which you couldn't provide a Title, would your image "tell the story?" If so, no Title might be needed. 2. However, there may be times when, especially in competition, a "good" Title will add to the Judge's understanding and appreciation of the image. In my competition work, I take extra care when naming an image.

Brendan, I looked at your images and you have some lovely subjects. The one thing I noticed is that you tend to center your images. The information Terry provided is great to check out. The shots themselves are good but I think you need to work on placing them more creatively in the frame. I find flower photography to be difficult at best to come up with something unique that will really grab the eye. I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Ro

Brendan, Take a moment and look at Terry's gallery. He has some great examples of flowers and wildlife. I am going to add my double eagle to the evening. You need to purchase a macro lens or a set of dioplers. What I see wrong with your works is you have a great subject, but it is lost in space. “In every photo is a photo.” Get out your coping tool and use it. Now I am going to break that rule. Try to put your subject at the power points in your viewfinder. I am talking the rule of thirds. Go back and look at how so many of Terry's images have the point of interest in one of the power points. I have just uploaded 10 images; I broke this rule on many of them. Does the subject benefit from me breaking the rule? My last observation, get down on the level of your subject, if it is a flower get down on the flower's level, if it is a child, child's level, rattlesnake, two miles away. "I hate snakes!" I'm sure you get the idea. Look at websites, photo-magazines, National Geographic, Arizona and Texas Highways. Join a local camera club. Keep shooting, shooting, and shooting. Doug

Hi Brendan, I have to agree with Doug - I believe "the closer the better". The crop tool is my very best friend!! Don't forget to study the past winners and finalists right here at BP. It will give you a very good idea of what they are looking for! Good luck! DDK

I don't know if your camera takes screw-on filters - but if it does you should get a set of 1x, 2x and 4x close-up filters. And make sure you're in macro mode!
