Very beautiful, it stands out ...I like the DOF here.


Philip Lindsay   {K:1778} 6/9/2004
maybe a border of some kind would complete this more


Lucas Macedo   {K:12840} 6/9/2004
Similar to your latest shot, Altaf, with vibrant colors and clever use of focus.
Great work! Regards ..... Lucas


Regina Rianelli   {K:24147} 6/9/2004
very fine, artistic and delicate flower macro shot, Altaf...

best regards,
Regina


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 6/9/2004
LOVE the composition on this one!!!
It's so different and also BOLD,
lower right with just the tinge of blue
also adds to this overall wonderful
photograph!

Nice work,
Lori ;)


Antonio Trincone   {K:23167} 6/9/2004
indeed nice symmetry in the unfocused backgroud Altaf


Maria Laet   {K:196} 6/9/2004
very nice


Alisa Mudge   {K:12438} 6/9/2004
If this was not directly in the middle I would love it. It just goes to prove that you can make a snap work just as well as a SLR produced photo. I do not want to hear "It's just a snap from you again!!!"


Bob Jarman   {K:3142} 6/10/2004
Cool Al. I personally think its the lines of the leaves that make it so nice.


Audrey Reid   {K:5872} 6/10/2004
Prefer this to the other version, like Marillia I personally have a special dislike for colour magenta.

Orange & square are the new black this season:) The chosen dof give this image a muted painting-like effect. The background leaves, the touch of blue give perfect balance to this centered composition.


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:178244} 6/14/2004
Hi Al..
I see in this close-up one beautiful simmetrie and therefore one little various photo from the usuals of macro flowers! the two flowers the two friends play to you on the DOF create geometry.
who run after themselves!
nice one again...

Al,

It may not become a major seller in your inventory of images, but it is quite simplistic in it's nature and that is what makes it basically attractive. On behalf of Philip and you ... 'I had the time' per the attached with a 50% crop if you don't mind ... Okay?

Thanks for sharing and Best of Regards!

P.S. I think Roby was a bit too generous with his '7', so please forgive me for my '5'!

'Just a little framed rework for a great WebMaster'!


Di Ciuccio Maurizio   {K:57483} 6/24/2004
fantastica...colore e doff davvero eccezionali...complimenti


B:)liana    {K:30945} 6/25/2004
Beautiful soft colors dear Al, and great DOF! Lovely
Thank you
Kisses, Biliana


Luke Luther   {K:14545} 6/27/2004
the color saturation is wonderful. the flower out of focus is too distracting for me since it is in the same vertical third.


Orazio Minnella   {K:47053} 7/10/2004
Amazing work!!Nice colors.
Regards


Benedetto Riba   {K:15792} 7/22/2004
Very nice work, excellent DOF.

antonia dettori   {K:560} 7/25/2004
Splendid image


Anil Nediyara   {K:93} 8/2/2004
can digital SLR get you the same sort of DOF ?


Ahmet Baki Kocaballi   {K:13627} 8/3/2004
wonderful shot!
congrats


Jim Gamble   {K:11968} 8/4/2004
Al, whats wrong with the scan on this one?
Looks good to me.
I really like the way the colours just pop out at ya, very nice.
Jim Gamble

Post Script: puttin this one in my favs.


Jan Symank   {K:15755} 8/14/2004
Beautiful colors which are " mirrored " in the background
Great impression of deth and "bokeh "
with this background
Bravo and regards from Jan


Stephen Bowden   {K:64519} 8/22/2004
Super dof - the colours and composition are good. Thankyou for the comment ... I think ;-)


Sue O'S   {K:12860} 9/1/2004
Nice image


Romulo Lubachesky   {K:11836} 9/5/2004
Beautiful work, i like the DOF here!
Regards


Massimo Di Maggio   {K:-56668} 9/29/2004
Do you take these shots when you need a bit of rest from UF? ;) Photograph can be very relaxing or very exciting, it depends on the points of view and on? the subjects, a flower is absolutely more relaxing than a woman ;) Bye Max


Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 10/2/2004
I like the composition.. Like 2 siblings.. but one was the favorite and gets to be in focus.. and the other one behind in the shadow.. and out of focus! :) Great colors and use of natural light (i presume?).

Thanks alot for the Staff award! =)

Cheers and keep up your good work.. both as a photographer and site admin! =)

Elena Zabelina   {K:23212} 10/5/2004

Estupendo juego con el DOF


Paul's Photos   {K:34954} 10/29/2004
love the colors... and I like how the dof makes the other flowers in the background look like a mirror image.. nicely captured


Petros Stamatakos   {K:11628} 10/30/2004
Have you had a chance to rescan this? It's definately worth rescanning... Love the dof.


Roberto Carli   {K:13689} 11/11/2004

This site is amazing..I have learned SO much..just the encouragement alone is priceless..when I stumbled across Usefilm
I was somewhat confident that I had a decent eye and an Ok feel for art but wow..I have seen growth in me....life is about growth..change and the cultivation of what makes one happiest...so....thanks.

Gorgeous composition and beautiful colors. Regards, Andree


Randy Lorance   {K:24958} 5/16/2005
The DOF and bright colors really do seem to make this reach out past the screen. Nice blue/green colors in background.

Pat Ziegler   {K:21578} 6/2/2005
Al, I have opend a thread in the donor's forum I wish to be removed. It was made in the heat of the moment. I think you will understand once you read it. Also, If my comments containing what some may think is inapropriate language could also be removed, that would be much appreciated...

Where in Costa Rica did you go? I love it there - we want to buy a place and retire there when we get older. :) Isn't it beautiful. I love this plant - great detail and color you caught.

2 different fields of focus makes this image stand out very nicelly,bluring the background in such manner given it alot of beauty ,best regards.


Jara Parijayee    {K:4964} 11/9/2005

Geeez al it's been years. How the heck are you? well now that your site is so successful I see you don't have time to post your own images. How ironic! It was great to return after travelling around the USA for so long to see just how much Usefilm has grown. Congratulations on a job well done.

I have been popping into the chat room as time and internet connection allows and I finally tracked down your profile and this is the only way I know how to say hi as I don't have an email addy for you. You're no doubt too busy and receive too much "fan" mail now so better my message doesn't go that route anyway.

I still remember the handful of originals who you herded over to join here years ago and some of us are still here al.

Take care and don't work too hard.

Oh...by the way....nice photo. :)

Cheers - Ann :)


Alisa Mudge   {K:12438} 12/16/2005

Hi Al,
I don't mean to bother you by getting in touch with you through one of your images.
But I have a little problem again concerning my yearly Donation. You would have recieved an American Money order for $25.00 by now. I sent it over six weeks ago.
My Usefilm member status is now invalid.
Can you help me get reinstated???
Sorry to bother you, but this is the THIRD time that Usefilm has been late recognizing my member status.
