They make a great pair of shots, where the two together are stronger than either one alone. Flower shots are a real challenge, not because it's difficult to get something nice, but because it's so easy it's very tough to get one that hasn't been done to death. That being said, I think you did a great job on the flower shot. It's a different angle (though IIRC one that Scott Kelby recommends) and the color contrast between the flower and the sky is nice, as is the composition. > > > Stig Vidar Hovland > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
