Boris, Of the three shots, I like the first the most.
I've been experimenting with shooting various berries and fruits in the past few years, and I've been getting some similar shots, and what I concluded for myself that in most cases (especially in shots similar to your #1 and #2 by composition), I like seeing more DOF. In #1 I would've tried to make sure that [almost] all stamens (anthers in particular) are in focus. By association, I recalled a few shots of mine related to raspberries which illustrate what I mean. It is also a raspberry "flower": IMGP9428.jpg IMGP9503.jpg IMGP9527.jpg In these three, I also would like to see large DOF, especially in the last two. As for #3, - as in this one, I find that "frontal" shots of some flowers don't work for me. I discarded many of mine for this reason. And to complete the raspberry theme: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Raspberries/IMGP9655e.jpg (I posted this here 1.5 years ago) Igor PS. Jack, I suspect "those things" are not "petals" either. They are either stamens (stamina), or anthers: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stamen http://www.merriam-webster.com/art/dict/flower.htm :-) --- On Sat, 6/6/09, jdavisf8 at yahoo.com <jdavisf8 at yahoo.com> wrote: > Guess those things are "petals" huh? ...got to remember to spell check. > :( > > Jack > --- On Sat, 6/6/09, jdavisf8 at yahoo.com <jdavisf8 at yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > > Raspberry Flower: Appealing due to the peddle array. > > On Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at 7:44 AM, Boris Liberman wrote: > Hi! > > Though I am more than 1000 unread messages behind, I'd risk posting another > PESO.
