Thanks Renaee, I was busy this evening playing it the yard, There are a few more in my gallery, with more to come. #3037899Renaee Dimond July 16, 2006
I had a look at your gallery Mike...those end of day shots are just beautiful! #3037936Rachel E. Slepekis July 16, 2006
Really pretty lighting Mike : )Mike Rubin July 17, 2006
Thanks for the comments Renaee and Rachel. I was concerned about making it too sharp since it's a flower. Flower images are not my best, although I'm learning. #3039211Bill Wyatt July 17, 2006
I love the way the light shines through petal, terrific details and colors, Mike! #3039269Mike Rubin July 17, 2006
Thanks Bill. I think I am finally getting better with lighting. #3039749Carol Teal July 21, 2006
Mike, this is my favorite from the new ones you posted. I like the sunlight on the petals of this one. Very nice job! As far as the softness and sharpness, that is what I am not sure about. I have seen both, so maybe it is a matter of one's taste. #3060922Mike Rubin July 21, 2006
Thanks Carol, I could say that the softness is my artistic flare BUT the truth is I was afraid to apply USM in fear of overkill. :) #3060975Carol Teal July 21, 2006
Well, I guess you could make sure to keep an original and practice with the USM. If I ever get a macro lens and want to take flower photos, I will have to look for a good book or Internet articles on the subject because I am really not sure what is the best way. I see soft ones that people like on BP and then I see sharp ones. I have seen both sharp and softer and I have liked both. I guess it is what looks best to your eye because you know what mood you are trying to convey. :D #3061229ALLEN O. HOWARD August 06, 2006
