About I notice that I'm taking a LOT more flowers these days. Influence of the macro lens, no doubt. Also notice that many of them are in portrait orientation. I deliberately overfilled the frame in this shot, trying to make the flowers look as if they were bursting out of the picture. Do you think it works?

I think the technique works well, Roger.
The frame is certainly bursting with form and colour.
Best regards, Chris

Yes it works very well Roger. This is another excellent shot.
Did you folks get shook up the other day?


Roger Williams   {K:83282} 8/19/2005
Thanks, Ellen. I'm gradually gaining confidence. Yes, I was in the office when the quake struck, and the accounts lady got quite panicky. Nothing fell off shelves, though.

Well, this one works for me. I think it's the curve within the vertical frame. You're really giving that 'flex some exercise!

Tremendous Colors and details Roger, And Yes they look like they are jumping off the screen.

Congrats on the shot!
Best regards

Yes, I think it works. Filling most of the frame with the subject proper and having an unobtrusive background in the remaining parts is what makes this photo much better than, for instance, Macro Approach I. On the downside, it's no different than a large number of other flower shots, which is why Macro Approach II comes out as the winner for me.

Yes, I think so! Beautiful composition here, very nice!

These are some of the flowers I like to shoot. They make beautiful photos! I believe one can say that they are Photogenic! The zig-zag pattern helps fill the frame. Very beautiful indeed!
