i liked the grouping of lickable "red" photos in the middle, and the
grass/rushes in sideways light (though the stump seems a little
awkward in the frame); flower photos up front, well the first is an
nice composition but the colors are over the top for me (just not my
cup o tea)
on the iris you made good exposure and focus choices, but the tight
crop and the background detract a little for me; perhaps it is the
name, but to me iris are a "mini-muse" (after i let go of all who came
before — Van Gogh, O'Keefe…); what i mean is i keep shooting them even
when i think i've exhausted the subject in order to learn more and
discover what i had not seen before; i especially like curly dried up
iris petals (lilies too)
Thanks, Steve!
I never dwell too long over flowers. I tend to take a few quick snaps if
the light seems to be hitting them nicely, but I never really do a study
of the flower itself. I should probably devote more effort to them than
I do, but I tend to get restless when I hover over any subject for very
long.
Thanks for the input!
